Alliance for Democracy

The Alliance for Democracy, also called AfD, is a grassroots non-profit organization founded in 1996 at the first gathering in the Western Hills of Texas. Members often meet in local chapters to work together on the national campaigns as well as on local issues, many times in collaboration with other community groups.

Alliance members seek to end corporate domination of our government, our economy, and our culture so we can pursue effective democratic solutions that respect the rights of people, our communities and nature. We also seek to create a just society with a sustainable, equitable economy.

The Alliance for Democracy is an open organization and we invite everyone to join with us.
