The Democracy Group (TDG) is moving most of the original content to Substack.

This includes our bi-weekly democracy-focused newsletters. On Substack, you'll also find content and contributions from the podcasters and creators in our network. We'll also publish guest posts from our partners in the democracy space.

On our website blog, you'll still find Q&A articles from our "Meet The Hosts" series and blogs exploring political science concepts and issues.

"My guiding principle for all of it is to showcase hopeful stories about people and organizations who are working to strengthen democracy," said TDG founder Jenna Spinelle. "There is so much good work happening out there, but it’s often overshadowed by conflict and drama in our divided country."

We hope you'll continue to follow along as we join many others on the platform who are working to bring a different narrative about democracy to light.
