Pro-Democracy Movement News,
Information & Networking Opportunities
This page features sources of news about the voting activist movement, its successes and its campaigns, as well as political news related to the larger pro-democracy movement and to the upcoming 2024 elections. Some of these websites offer networking opportunities for activists, and some offer a variety of communication support services.
DemCast USA
DemCast has published hundreds of articles over the last two years on voter registration, turnout and GOTV campaigns. Their stories are
displayed by state and are keyword searchable. DemCast harnesses digital tools and social platforms “to maximize the connectivity, coordination and impact of the grassroots activist community.” Activists have “their fingers on the pulse of local elections and political issues,” they explain, and DemCast provides a much-needed outlet to get these stories out. DemCast solicits grassroots groups and state and national organizations alike to publish content on their site at no charge. Their
partner invitation explains the service they provide to organizations. They also invite “content creators” to
publish articles, calendar events, and graphic art. Finally, they have created a series of training videos on
organizing skills and
on using social media effectively.
