What makes a good leader?

A good leader promotes democracy. Democracy is our commitment to each other that we respect each other and we respect fairness.

The pro-Democracy Alliance Pledge

We, the undersigned, pledge our unwavering commitment to the principles of democracy, justice, and equality. In an era of profound challenges to the foundations of our republic, we affirm that:

1. Democracy is Worth Defending

We stand resolute in protecting free and fair elections and political activism in all its forms, ensuring every American can participate in their democracy without obstruction or fear of reprisal.

2. Truth and Accountability Matter

We commit to fostering transparency, combating misinformation, and holding leaders accountable to the people they serve.

3. Unity is Our Strength

We reject divisive politics of cynicism and seek to build bridges across communities, celebrating diversity as a cornerstone of our democracy.

4. Justice and Equality are Essential

We champion policies and actions that promote fairness, safeguard rights, and empower all citizens to have a voice in the political discourse.

5. Action is Required

We will not remain idle in the face of threats to democracy. We commit our resources, energy, and voices to advancing democratic ideals and combating anti-democratic forces.

By joining the pro-Democracy Alliance, we vow to work towards our common goal to uphold these values, protect our shared future, and leave a stronger democracy for generations to come.

If not us, then who? If not now, then when?

The pro-Democracy Alliance won’t form itself. Being born into a democracy won’t ensure you get to stay one. Democracy is under threat and dies in the darkness. All of us need to take action, speak out, and participate.
