No matter who you are—whether an active progressive, silent centrist, or disenfranchised conservative—we all share a core knowledge that we must do better. We can’t wait to know exactly what to do, we just need to start.

This Democracy Starter Culture contains everything you need to help democracy rise in your community. Perfect for groups of 5-15 people. All materials come in a padded mailer delivered to your door:

• Educate and inspire with 10 copies of each action card – 40 total cards to share!
• Promote media literacy with 10 full-color tri-fold brochures that help people spot media bias.
• March forward with 10 buttons declaring your democratic values: 5 “Fight Fascism” and 5 “DOUGH” buttons.
• Learn and educate with 3 DOUGH issues: essays on various topics directly pertaining to democracy.
• Lead confidently with our comprehensive, step-by-step hosting guidebook to start a ‘Kitchen for Democracy’ in your town.

Like any good dough, democracy needs fresh ingredients, careful kneading, and time to rise. Host a gathering using these starter materials, and let 3 hours with friends begin lasting change in your community.

You don’t need to be a seasoned activist. You are already exactly what democracy needs – someone who cares!

In a world of digital noise, face-to-face conversations create genuine understanding. These direct connections, guided by democratic principles, build powerful change. This starter kit provides everything you need to host discussions that matter.

Together, we’re reclaiming our democracy through kitchen tables across America. Rise with us!

Don’t have friends that understand? Line your bag strap with buttons like a bandolier – they’ll spark conversations and you can share them with all of the new friends you make. Put out these materials with your contact info, and find your people. They need you!

Note: We charge only what we need to cover costs.
