About Democracy 911

We’re a small group of friends based in Colorado who decided that doing nothing wasn’t an option.

We created Democracy 911 to turn frustration into action. We hope that by wearing our t-shirt you will:

  • Stay engaged in civic conversation
  • Build community and connection
  • Support nonprofits defending democratic values

It’s not about partisanship. It’s about participation.

Why It Matters

Complacency is democracy’s quietest threat. Each visible act—each shirt, conversation, and gathering—is a reminder that democracy depends on us. Every day.

Democracy is under strain—institutions are weakened, norms are eroding, and the future feels uncertain. It’s easy to wonder: “What can one person do?”

We created Democracy 911 to turn frustration into action and hope into visibility.

The need is more urgent than ever, and your generosity is monumental at this critical moment in reproductive rights in Colorado and across the country. Thank you so much for including us in your "911" call! Much appreciated!
