You can strengthen democracy by practicing the culture of democracy:
1. You must Use Your Voice.
Your voice matters. Recognize your own agency by speaking up for the causes and people you care about and enlisting allies in the fight.
2. You Must Embrace Human Connection.
Don’t shy away from cultural differences, create space for them. There is so much more that unites us than divides us, and it’s the best way to strengthen a democratic culture.

3. You Must Verify Facts Before Forwarding Any Message.
Be mindful of the messages and information you consume. Examine sources, think before you share, and help others in your life be critical thinkers who can separate opinion from fact. The divisions that can exist within our democracies aren’t going away any time soon, but the information we choose to consume can encourage the better angels of our nature.
4. You Must Participate In Voting, Polls and Keep Your Leaders Accountable for What They Promise in Electioneering.
Engage in the democratic process by voting, holding your leaders accountable, and working toward diverse and inclusive institutions. The future depends on how we act today.
