What You Can Do to Support Democracy #2
Hear from Protect Democracy's Ben Raderstorf about how to get involved. Join the pro-democracy coalition and donate your time and talents to non-partisan efforts to protect free and fair elections.
TRANSCRIPT
[[Ben Raderstorf]] The pro-democracy coalition is by nature really diverse ideologically, demographically, geographically. It has to be a national coalition. So find your niche in that coalition. So if you're a teacher, teach civics in your classroom. If you are a business owner, make sure you're finding ways to give your employees paid time off to go vote or to serve as a poll worker. If you're a donor, think about your philanthropic strategy in a pro-democracy lens. In this country, we shovel buckets and buckets and buckets of money into the partisan side of our politics. But the non-partisan, pro-democracy side, the sphere is actually quite small. So anything you can do to support the actors who are working to protect the system, not advance ideological interests within that system, it's really important.
