(One) America Declares Its Independence! And lots of opportunities to get involved.

Posted by on September 19, 2019 at 5:21 PM

Visit The Fulcrum for nonpartisan news coverage of the democracy reform movement!

First of all, we would like to congratulate Bridge Alliance member One America Movement for its new status as an independent non-profit organization. This is a significant step for an already powerful organization working towards building a society rooted in connections. You can learn more about their work on their website.

Second, I was browsing through Member e-newsletters and was struck by the number of options that exist for people to get involved in the democracy reform movement. A sampling of these opportunities are laid out below in two categories: (1) events and (2) digital calls to action.

You can also see a list of upcoming Member events in our “Upcoming Conferences and Events” Google Doc.
