"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.
