We're looking for people like you to join us to strengthen our democratic republic.

The Arizona Democracy Resilience Network (ADRN), an initiative of The Carter Center. was created to establish a cross-partisan network to support for the norms of our democratic republic. It is something we all share along with the need to disagree agreeably. Through this collaboration, we encourage peaceful civic discussions across the rich differences in our society today.

Together we keep democracy strong.

Free, fair, and secure elections are the cornerstone of America's democratic republic. A peaceful, democratic republic ensures the protection of individual rights, upholds the rule of law, and promotes stability.

How It Works

As polarization increases, so does the risk of political and identity-based violence. The ADRN brings Arizonans together who share a common concern for the future of our state and the mutual desire to build a more healthy democratic republic for all – regardless of political beliefs. Participants should:

A group of people shaking hands in agreement

Lead by Example

Promote peaceful resolution of disputes and differences through constructive engagement within your networks and across communities.

Checking the boxes

Provide Accurate Info

Share and create proactive messaging that promotes accurate information and builds trust in our institutions and elections.

Hands shaking and taking action

Take Action

Counter acts of intimidation or violence through dialogue, conflict-sensitive communication, and rapid response planning.
