Democracy Defenders

Elections don’t start in October. 

They start months earlier when voters first learn what is actually on the ballot.

In Carbon County, that work is done by local volunteers; organizing forums, sharing voter information, and helping neighbors understand local races that rarely receive media coverage.

The Democracy Defenders fund supports these efforts ahead of the 2028 election cycle.

Donations support practical local voter outreach:

• Informational postcards delivered to households

• Public candidate forums and debates

• Meet-the-candidate community events

• Voter registration and education efforts

• Non-partisan ballot information for local races

Even small contributions make a real impact in a county our size.

Why This Matters

Many voters want to participate but simply don’t know where to find reliable information about local candidates and offices. Local outreach ensures residents can make informed decisions and participate confidently in the democratic process.
