Public Citizen Democracy Awakening and Democracy Spring




We’re on the wrong end of a rigged political and economic system.

Democracy Awakening is a powerful, first-of-its-kind mobilization, organized by Public Citizen and 260 allies, to put We the People back in charge of OUR democracy.

Democracy Awakening’s core demands:

- Overturn Citizens United and other rulings that allow billionaires and Big Business to spend literally as much as they want undermining our elections.

- Stop Congress’ unprecedented partisan stonewalling on its Constitutional obligations in filling the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.

- Restore the 1965 Voting Rights Act that was gutted a few years ago, enabling states to re-institute discriminatory Jim Crow-era laws.

With events around the country from April 2 to 18, Democracy Awakening will feature a giant march in our nation’s capital, rallies, concerts, teach-ins, lobbying and civil disobedience.

The Democracy Awakening mobilization is the start of the next phase of movement building, taking us that much closer to winning the trans-formative change our country desperately needs.
