Maybe you want to join occasional protests or maybe you want to be an active participant in &Democracy. Read below to choose your level.
Our Signal Chats
By now, you know roughly what Signal is, but in short, it’s a relatively secure messaging app not owned by a billionaire. &Democracy has 2 chats open to the public:
- Our general chat group. We use this app to share news, last minute rallies, to find members at rallies, pretty much anything – as long as you’re not abusing the chat.
- Our Rapid Response chat. The goal is to respond to news as it happens in all venues open to us, such as social media, rallies, and public art. Artist and messaging specialists are encouraged to join this.
To join a chat, please contact us and provide some kind of “bona-fide”, meaning some low-level evidence that you’re on our side politically. It could be a meme you shared, a picture of you at a rally, an ActBlue receipt, etc. Of course, you will need to have the app loaded on your device.
Just the Rallies Please
Can you commit to only the occasional rally, protest, danceathon? No problem! Here’s how you can keep track of the going’s on:
- Our Events page. We try to keep this up-to-date with relevant DMV (and Arlington specific) events.
- Our Resources page. We can’t keep track of everything, so find more from the sources.
- Our weekly newsletter. Register your email to subscribe.
Want to Join the Team?
We have room for all levels of participation: three days a week, one day a week, one day a month? Want to get involved just once to help put together an event? Awesome.
Our Openings
- Social Media. We have accounts on Bluesky, TikTok, Facebook, and likely more coming. A TikToker would be very helpful now.
- Event Coordination. We don’t put on a lot of events yet, but when they do, they can require a lot of people power.
- Floaters. A lot of little tasks need to be done all the time, so it’s always good to have people who can jump in and take charge.
