Inclusive Democracy
We recognize that protecting and strengthening our democracy is essential to overcoming white supremacy. Our government should be by the people, for the people and diversity is our strength. Everyone should have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, and this requires an open and inclusive democracy. We also recognize that our democracy, and the institutions that uphold it, are currently at risk. That is why we are working closely with a coalition of state, local and national leaders whose mission is to increase voter participation and, ultimately, build a more inclusive and fair democratic system.
The Beyond Democracy Project
With a concept as flexible and multifaceted as democracy, it is imperative that we think through the ways people own this power and what it means to them. In The Opportunity Agenda’s Beyond Democracy project, activists, advocates, and artists from the U.S. Southeast and Southwest convene virtually to build a collaborative narrative framework around civic participation including digital strategies that utilize insights from groundbreaking psychological research.
