Artists 4 Democracy was founded in the spirit of radical practicality to bring together artists, art educators, and students to protect democracy by mobilizing the art community for political action and civic engagement.
Through art-making workshops, campus activities, voter registration drives, artist talks, art sales, fundraisers, canvassing, political events and more, we foster and protect our participatory democracy. 2025 has brought a new urgency to our mission. Learn more here about who we are and what we do.
This moment calls for all of us to take actions both big and small. History shows that it is the sustained efforts of citizens that can fight autocracy and keep democracy alive. One important way you can fight for democracy by is contacting you representatives. They work for YOU! Your calls about specific bills and issues can make a difference. We reccommend using 5 Calls A Day which provides daily issues, phone number and scripts.
Protesting is also an important way to push the government to take action in the way you want them to. The organization 50501 has a running list of protests near you.
Sign up for our semi-monthly newsletter for a list of specific actions, events, and reading lists.
