Overview

The Democratic Practice program aims to fortify the health of democracy both within the United States and in the realm of global governance. It operates under the belief that democracy's success hinges on active, empowered citizens and transparent, accountable governance structures. Domestically, it addresses challenges like political division, the influence of money in politics, and voter disenfranchisement, while promoting grassroots activism and the integration of digital media for civic engagement. Strategies include supporting electoral reforms, enhancing public participation, and advocating for economic and racial justice. Internationally, the program focuses on the impacts of globalization, aiming to make global institutions more democratic and equitable, particularly in the contexts of climate change, development finance, and trade. It supports initiatives that scrutinize global processes, foster citizen coalitions, and lobby for policies aligning global commerce with social and environmental standards.
