The Public Agenda Democracy Renewal Project connects practitioners, researchers, and resources to identify important questions about democracy, investigate them rigorously, and offer actionable evidence that people can leverage to make change. The Democracy Renewal Project is our response to a pressing need for insight into the movement to renew American democracy.
Despite a recent surge in innovation to strengthen American democracy and a corresponding increase in philanthropic resources, we lack the evidence base to guide action and investment to make our democracy healthy and resilient. The Democracy Renewal Project catalyzes research, synthesizes findings, and translates them into plain-language guidance for policymakers, advocates, journalists, and philanthropists. The Democracy Renewal Project helps ensure that the creative energy of innovators and the resources of philanthropy are applied with maximal effectiveness to meet the enormous challenge of achieving the democracy every citizen deserves.
