A Pro-Democracy Initiative
No one expects autocracy and authoritarianism to happen in their country – until it’s too late.
Our Work
Saving Democracy
Recruiting, training, and equipping patriotic Americans who will advocate for democracy by acting as energetic evangelists against autocracy.
Knowledge is Power
Our Mission: Educate citizens about the authoritarian threat and equip them to recognize what a belief in and commitment to democratic principles and behaviors look like.
Grassroots Focus
Working in communities in key swing districts across the nation, we will identify and engage with persuadable citizens in talks about the threat to American democracy.
The Pledge
Have your candidates and elected officials take our pro-democracy pledge for fair elections and democratic principles.
There have only been a few generations that have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.
President John F. Kennedy
Our Plan
Combining multiple approaches, Saving Democracy encourages Americans of ALL political stripes to step up to the moment, with an involvement that could make all the difference.
Phase One
Educate and Mobilize
Recruiting, training, and equipping patriotic Americans who will advocate for democracy by acting as energetic evangelists against autocracy.
In 2023-2024, we focused on Southern California. Starting in 2025, we have launched the Saving Democracy Substack called “Courage” to extend our educational effort nationally. This frequently updated newsletter connects the dots of where we as a nation have come from to where we want to go.
Phase Two
Grassroots Focus on Key Swing Districts
Our mission is to inform and support everyday citizens, thought leaders, and key organizations with the knowledge and tools to fight authoritarianism and autocracy.
In 2023-2024, we took our message to competitive swing districts in Orange and Riverside counties in Southern California. We spoke to more than 30 civic organizations and our canvassers engaged in doorway conversations with thousands of independent, young and infrequent voters.
In 2025-2026, we are offering the lessons we learned and the tactics and tools we developed to pro-democracy activists and groups seeking to make a difference across the country.
