About the Task Force for Democracy We’re a 100% youth‑led & volunteer team coordinating six campaigns to organize students to demand a more just democracy for our generation. We work alongside our youth & movement partners to center young people in the fight against advancing autocracy. We’re nonpartisan. We don’t do electoral politics. And we stay focused on ending the root causes of inequality in our democracy.
We know that true democracy cannot exist just at the ballot box, but must be present in the workplace, and in our education. Our campaigns aim to end structural inequality across different areas of our democracy, and include: fighting voter suppression & money in politics, organizing students under autocracy, stopping a dangerous constitutional convention that would roll back our rights, using transparency laws to hold power accountable, and more!
