Tickets

We’re working to build this effort to have scalable and systems-level impact to help protect and revitalize our civic ecosystem and democracy in an inclusive, cross-partisan, dynamic manner, and your support helps make that possible.

We invite you to pick the highest level support — ticket registration and/or sponsorship — that you’re comfortable with, and to consider making a recurring contribution to this effort, but we also want you there, and to have the right people part of this discussion.

We’re providing additional perks to people who purchase a ticket, sponsor, or make other contributions, as key supporters and early members of these high impact initiatives, but the biggest perk is knowing that you’re helping us collectively protect and revitalize our democracy.

There are a few questions in the form to help us understand and foster cross-partisan participation, to be aware where there might be gaps, and to help us maximize the impact of this event and what comes after.

If you want to do group ticketing, share a special access code for your community, or have other questions, please email us.

Form not loading properly? You can also register directly at givebutter.com/democracy-forum. Tickets are processed by our fiscal sponsor, the California Doughnut Economics Coalition, a 501(c)(3). That’s what will show up on your credit card statement.

What you’re registering for

The agenda, designed to help us get things done: Panels, lightning talks, and working groups

The day is split between dynamic targeted panels, short talks on stage, and facilitated breakout groups, working through the five First Principles and other key issues, including issues and ideas that emerge from the participants that day.

House rules to foster a room built for trust

The Forum operates under the Chatham House Rule, except for most of the discussions on stage, and there’s a non-solicitation rule to help us focus on our collective efforts and nurture relationships for long-term collaboration.

It is cross-partisan by belief and design. Right, left, center, and none of the above. Democracy Week is organized under a nonprofit fiscal sponsor and does not endorse candidates or parties.

Practical
