Modeled after Seattle’s successful Democracy Voucher program created in 2015, Oakland's Democracy Dollars effort aims to amplify the voices of underrepresented communities and mitigate the influence of corporate and extreme monied interests in our democracy. The public education work happening in Oakland was built by a coalition harnessing energy and expertise from many local groups and is an exciting local opportunity with national implications.

Please join us on Thursday, June 2nd at 4pm ET / 1pm PT to hear from organizations from Fair Elections Oakland. This briefing is for funders interested in understanding the implications for Oakland and the national money in politics landscape, the coalition structure, the c3 public education plans and the implementation work that will need to happen. This briefing is co-sponsored by Piper Fund, Haas Jr. Fund, Voqal, Akonadi Foundation & Bay Area Democracy Funders.
