Democracy Matters is a non-partisan, campus-based national student organization that seeks to reduce the influence of private money in politics and promote public financing of elections and other pro-democracy reforms. It emphasizes training young people in grassroots organizing and advocacy, supporting a network of Campus Leaders and local Chapters to connect student-led actions with issues spanning environment, civil rights, education, health care, and foreign policy. Founded in 2001 by Adonal Foyle and his parents, the organization operates as the Democracy Matters Institute, a 501(c)(3) educational nonprofit, and positions itself within the political reform landscape by focusing on mobilizing students to advance democratic reforms. Based in Poughkeepsie, New York, the group provides paid internships for undergraduates and affiliate internships for high school students, facilitating opportunities to develop leadership and involvement in the democracy movement.
