Democracy in Action – A Nonpartisan Coalition
Democracy In Action
Democracy in Action unites the National Civil Rights Museum, the Shelby County Voter Alliance, and community partners across Memphis in a shared push to expand voter participation among historically underrepresented voters. Through canvassing, phone and text banking, civic education, and trusted-messenger outreach, these partners are building a unified, nonpartisan campaign that runs through Election Day.
