The Inclusive Democracy Agenda

 A policy agenda that advances solutions prioritized by, and for, communities of color, who have been fighting to make our democracy more inclusive since the founding of our country. 

These policy solutions represent visionary thinking by Demos and members of the Inclusive Democracy Project (IDP), a majority-person of color cohort of powerful state and local leaders, convened by Demos, who organize working-class communities and communities of color to advance bold democracy campaigns across the U.S.

Demos worked with these leaders to craft the Inclusive Democracy Agenda, which, while ambitious, represent steps we must take if we are to live up to our ideals as a democratic society and make it possible for all people not just to survive, but to thrive in our democracy.
