United States · Public Policy

Dēmos is a non-profit public policy organization working to build a just, inclusive, multiracial democracy and economy. We work hand in hand to build power with and for Black and brown communities, forging strategic alliances with grassroots and state-based organizations. For nearly 25 years, Dēmos has worked at the intersection of democracy reform, economic justice, and racial justice—drawing on our expertise in policy solutions, research, legal advocacy, and narrative strategies. Dēmos has moved progressive issues from the movement to the mainstream, such as debt-free college, voting rights access at public agencies, and strong credit card protections for consumers. And there is more to do. Today, our focus is clearer than ever: we must build power for Black and brown people and move our nation toward a new era of inclusion, equity, and shared power.
