You Write the Action Plan
Democracy 2028 provides the research and recommendations. Contributors provide the implementation — practical guides written for specific audiences by people who know their domain.
Evidence review, policy recommendations, Day One actions — grounded in research, written for the public.
A practical 500–1,500 word guide for your specific audience — federal staff, state legislators, advocates, practitioners.
Three Ways to Contribute
Write an Action Plan
Pick a chapter in your area of expertise. Write a focused implementation guide for a specific audience — federal staff, state lawmakers, nonprofit directors, practitioners. No need to redo the research — just answer: given this analysis, what should someone in my world actually do?
Submit an action plan →Author a Chapter
Subject-matter experts can volunteer to draft or co-draft a full chapter. Chapters follow a standard template and go through editorial review. 40 of 45 chapters are still unwritten.
Propose yourself as author →Fact-Check & Review
Read any published chapter. Flag inaccurate statistics, outdated information, missing citations, or perspectives that need to be added. This is the most accessible form of contribution — and essential.
Flag an issue →Open Chapters
Every chapter is open for action plans. Filter by your background.
Contribution Standards
Every factual claim needs a source. Link to primary sources wherever possible.
Disclose any institutional affiliations or potential conflicts of interest upfront.
Action plans should focus on implementation in your domain — not re-litigate the research layer.
