Growing the Network
The Forum is building a network of organizations that share an interest in strengthening democracy, improving public conversation, and supporting meaningful civic participation.
We are identifying groups with a range of perspectives, expertise, and approaches—from organizations developing tools and models to those advancing research, education, community dialogue, and practical civic engagement.
As this network grows, we hope to connect people, ideas, and resources—and make it easier to discover the many ways organizations are working to strengthen democratic life.
Join the Conversation
America’s 250th anniversary is a time to look back — and to think seriously about what kind of democracy we want to carry forward. The Forum invites citizens, educators, community leaders, and others interested in civic renewal to explore new essays, emerging models, events, and conversations about how we can talk, think, and participate more constructively in democracy’s next chapter.
