Democracy Day

We’d like members to consider being a media partner for Democracy Day 2023, taking place on September 15. The project started last year by our colleagues at the Center for Collaborative Journalism at Montclair State University in New Jersey. This day educates and informs people about the importance of active participation and promotion of democracy in the US – and your station can help by promoting voting, voting rights, election information, transparency and trust at the local level.

Democracy Day is an effort announced in 2022 to draw attention to the crisis facing American democracy, provide the public with the context and information they need, and bring all types of media together to sound the alarm collectively. We want to incentivize media coverage through a nationwide journalism collaborative, one day where print, radio, TV, and digital media on the national and local level can come together to report on the threats to democracy that we’re facing.
