The Democracy Heroes are trailblazers, advocates, organizers and changemakers.

These nonpartisan civic leaders are making a difference in their communities every day - each one breaking barriers and building solutions to ensure all marginalized voters have a seat in our democracy. Through honoring these heroes, our mission is to inspire participation - to illustrate that change happens every day in our communities when we show up.

The Democracy Heroes is an I am a voter. initiative in partnership with Headcount, The Rockefeller Foundation & MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
