DEFENDING DEMOCRACY STARTS LOCALLY
Townsquare Democracy is a community network of citizens, professionals, and local groups working together to defend traditional American democratic values of justice, truth, and human dignity. We believe democracy thrives when ordinary people stand up, speak out, and stay connected.

How Authoritarianism Actually Works
Authoritarian movements don’t succeed on their own. They rely on key institutions like our courts, the media, business interests, religious leaders and state officials, whose support or silence makes abuse of power possible. Protecting democracy involves everyday people taking actions that strengthen the pillars to defend it, and refusing to let them be captured.
