About Us

Sacramento for Democracy is a grassroots organization dedicated to the advancement of progressive political and social changes. We share an affinity for the goals that have been articulated by the progressive groups that we are members of: DFA, PDA, CEPN and others.

These goals are:
1. To have strong, sustained grassroots involvement in the democratic process.

2. To promote an America where candidates and office holders tell the truth about policy choices and stand up for what they believe. The era when politicians equivocate about matters as fundamental as war and peace must end.

3. To fight against the influence and agenda of the far right-wing and their radical, divisive policies, and the selfish special interests who for too long have dominated politics.

4. To fight for progressive policies like health care for all; investment in children; equal rights under law; fiscal responsibility; and peace and security achieved through truly equitable international cooperation.

Our purpose is to restore citizens' ownership of our democracy by mobilizing grassroots participation in the political process. Sacramento for Democracy supports candidates and issues through a combination of education, community organizing, and direct action at the national, state and local levels. Sacramento for Democracy works to ensure that elected officials are held accountable to the electorate.

Come find out what we are doing to advance these goals for both our local and national communities.
