BOSTON - ncarol.com -- The Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation (the Center) today launched the "What does democracy mean to you?" project for adults and youth. The project has three goals: inspire artistic expression, encourage critical thinking about democracy and fundraise for the Center.

The project addresses important questions by asking youth of all  ages  (with parental permission) and adults to depict their meaning of democracy using visual art and the written word.

• What does democracy mean to us individually and collectively?
• What are threats to democracy?
• What decisions do we make to protect democracy, the U.S. Constitution, and the important work of the Center and similar organizations?

"Democracy and inclusion are at the heart of our shared vision. We see threats to democracy identified, in part, by suppression of voices, votes and representation. We must take action. Our action includes this project and other events that center dialogue on democracy." –Paul S. Bracy, Founder & President

Take action to submit your entry and raise your voice. All approved submissions will be listed on the Center's Threadless store and made available for public viewing and purchase. Profits from sales of the "What does democracy mean to you?" collection will go to the Center. Submissions are due May 1, 2024 at 5 pm EDT (UTC-4) through the Center's website.
