About the Podcast

Democracy Spark
Your steady source when news goes sideways
We witnessed something that changed everything.

This June, 5+ million people took to the streets across 1,400+ locations in the largest coordinated resistance in modern history. We watched organizational networks transform from scattered groups into the backbone of a movement.

That's when we understood our mission.

Research shows 45% of Americans report no civic participation - but the #1 factor in engagement is people knowing their participation makes a difference.

Truth finds a way - but it needs the right tools.

Democracy Spark* provides constitutional analysis and practical guidance that help individual sparks become collective action.
