Democracy is a public policy journal and think tank that seeks to spur new ideas on the major issues facing America and the world. Democracy’s ideas, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at the heart of the 2010 Wall Street reform, have made their way into the national political debate and into legislation in Congress and states across America. Today, Democracy has over 300,000 readers in every state and more than 150 countries around the world. The Washington Post wrote that Democracy is “widely read” in the Obama administration, the Philadelphia Inquirer has noted that “one way to guess what Obama might do” is to look to Democracy, the Christian Science Monitor called Democracy the place where “the Democratic Party is being reimagined,” and New York Times called Democracy "the little magazine that incubated Team Biden."
