Core Values
Democracy First
We believe democracy is worth protecting. Every program, tool, and resource we create is designed to strengthen the democratic process.
Nonpartisan, Not Neutral
We don’t answer to political parties — we answer to people. But we will always stand against efforts to silence voters or undermine elections.
Education as Power
Knowledge is the foundation of participation. We break down how government works so that every person has the tools to use their voice.
Accessibility for All
Democracy only works when everyone can participate. We are committed to making civic education clear, inclusive, and available to all communities.
Action Through Community
Change happens when people come together. We build connections between voters, schools, and communities to create a culture of engagement.
Resilience in the Face of Threats
Our democracy is under attack, but we are not backing down. We stand firm, with clarity and courage, against those who seek to dismantle it.
Our Story
We Are Voters began as a documentary in 2018 called We’re the People. The film explored what drives young people to participate in democracy — and what holds them back. What we learned was clear: people wanted to be engaged, but they lacked the tools, resources, and confidence to take the first step.
Out of that film, We Are Voters was born. We shifted from documenting democracy to building resources that help people live it — creating civic toolkits, programs, and voter education materials to empower individuals and communities.
Where We Are Now
Today, We Are Voters is more urgent than ever. As our democracy faces direct threats, we’re focused on rebuilding from the ground up with clear, nonpartisan resources that protect voting rights and strengthen civic engagement.
We started by telling a story. Now, we’re working to help everyone write their own.
