Helping campaigns rack up wins for democracy

Democracy Leaders brings together campaigners, organizers, and communicators from top Democracy Reform efforts around the country for an intensive legislative campaign training.

Sharing what works best

If you are running a campaign, you don’t have to start from scratch.

In our Democracy Leaders Training Series, we’ll share with campaign leaders everything we’ve learned over our 10+ years of supporting winning campaigns all across the country.

Our next training will begin later in 2024. Interested? 👇
