ABOUT TEAM DEMOCRACY

WHAT IS TEAM DEMOCRACY?

Team Democracy brings together Americans of all political perspectives around our shared commitment to the core principles of our constitutional democracy. Our focus is on countering the toxic polarization that has come to dominate political discourse in recent years. We promote and amplify positive messages and actions that underscore the importance of democratic institutions, norms and processes and our shared commitment to free, fair, and inclusive elections.

Team Democracy is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing polarization and strengthening trust in America’s democratic institutions, norms, and processes. The organization does not endorse political parties, candidates, or electoral outcomes.

Team Democracy is a nonprofit 501(c)3.

ADVISORS TO TEAM DEMOCRACY

Although our advisors play various roles, and come from across the political spectrum, they share a common commitment to protecting and securing a healthier and more resilient democracy for generations to come. They also provide subject-matter expertise and guidance; advisory roles do not imply political endorsement or organizational governance.
