Activist Supply Closet
The Project
The Democracy Center aims to support organizations and actions that help to bring about a more just, creative, expressive, connected, and equitable world.
​
To that end, we support organizers to create more effective actions and events by providing supplies for rallies, marches, and other public demonstrations.
​
We evaluate each request's alignment with our mission. We cannot support events that promote a candidate's bid for elected office. The Democracy Center maintains sole discretion in evaluating requests based on mission, availability, resources, and capacity.
