Democracy is the worst form of government… besides all the others.
Faith in Democracy has fallen from 60% to 28% in the last 40 years. If you are confused, angry, disillusioned, isolated, disempowered, disenfranchised, and especially a bit hopeful, we’re here to help raise your level of citizenship.
At its best, Democracy offers the most people the greatest opportunity to live their best lives. When democracies fall, they fall to oligopoly, totalitarianism, and autocracy. If you’re not at the table, then you are probably on the menu.

Take The Democracy Challenge
Our orientation course is a pre-requisite to joining the Academy
James McHenry (1753-1816) records the events of the last day of the convention, September 18, 1787; he wrote: A lady asked Dr. Franklin, “Well Doctor, what have we got a republic or a monarchy – ‘A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.’”
This free course is for anyone who wants to take an active role in promoting democracy.
Program Objectives:
