Programs & Events

Protecting Democracy Through Community Outreach

We’re dedicated to showing you how to protect our democracy through smart citizenship. We’re regularly launch new programs that explore the vital connection between government, democracy and your personal finances and rights.

Recently, First Responders for Democracy presented several seminars at the Osher Institute for Lifelong Learning at Ringling College in Sarasota, exhibited at booths at the Veterans for Common Sense and League of Women Voters’ Manatee Democratic Expo and participated in the Patterson Foundation initiative on The New Civic Path. More civic educational activities are in the works. Our founder also writes an acclaimed Substack on democracy called OF,BY,And FOR: Democracy Decoded

Since our 2023 launch, First Responders for Democracy (FRD) has promoted informed citizenship. Our speakers actively engage communities through radio and TV appearances, and by giving presentations to local civic organizations. We’d love to speak to your organization — consider inviting us!

The Saving Democracy Institute

In addition to our ongoing seminars and talks, we have launched the Saving the Democracy Institute. It’s a democracy think tank with a difference: our target is citizens and voters rather than D.C. elites. Our articles are short, factual and understandable. No jargon and arcane theories here! Our goal is to empower every voter. We believe that informed and involved voters are anything but ordinary—they are a powerful force for democracy!
