![[About This Website 02.png]] ## Welcome to Demand Democracy Today We are an independent organization, based in Washington State, dedicated to creating clarity and focus regarding the state of democracy in America today. As democratic institutions face increasing challenges, we strive to inform, engage, and empower citizens with well-researched insights and analysis. Our goal is to shed light on the forces shaping our democracy and to provide a clear perspective on the threats and opportunities ahead. To strengthen this mission, we are building a team of contributors who will help expand and enhance the content of this website. If you share our commitment to democracy, we invite you to explore this website. Over the past several years, We’ve watched as its core pillars—free and fair elections, the rule of law, a free press, and the peaceful transfer of power—have come under growing strain. Like many, we found it difficult to keep up with the rapid pace of events, the flood of information, and the challenge of distinguishing meaningful threats from political noise. This website is our attempt to cut through the chaos. Rather than reacting to every headline, we needed a structured way to analyze how key events impact the survival of democracy itself. By organizing these issues within a broader framework, we hope to provide clarity—not just for us but for others who share these concerns. ## A Clear Perspective Without Alarmism While this site leans left—because threats to democracy today disproportionately come from the right—we have deliberately avoided sensationalism and conspiracy-driven narratives. The goal is not to amplify fear but to clearly identify the structural threats to democracy and their long-term consequences. If you find this site helpful, we encourage you to engage, share, and—most importantly—take action to defend democracy. It is up to all of us to ensure that the democratic experiment endures.
