Dialing Democracy Initiative

We are launching a program to mobilize volunteers and advocates in response to recent threats and attacks on our Democracy. Some federal employees are already facing job loss for political reasons—such as the January 6th prosecutors—while others remain at risk. This is part of a broader issue of unchecked executive power, including concerns related to Project 2025, Elon Musk and DOGE, and executive orders that undermine democracy.

Our goal is to inform and engage the public while providing clear actions people can take. We want to ensure our community knows they are neither powerless nor alone in standing up for democracy.

Call to Action

We are asking supporters to take action by joining us in our 60 min sessions in:

• Calling elected officials to voice their concerns and show support for those standing against extremism.

• Writing emails and postcards to Congress.
