Answer

Right to Democracy is a non-profit organization that is building a movement to confront and dismantle the undemocratic colonial framework that impacts over 10 million people – 3.6 million in U.S. territories and over 6 million more in the territorial diaspora. Our vision is that people in U.S. territories should have power and agency over the decisions that impact their lives. We approach all our work through the shared values of building common ground, respecting differences, provoking change, staying focused, and avoiding toxicity. Together with a diverse Cross-Territorial Coalition, we use participatory advocacy, narrative and cultural change, and ecosystem building to advance democracy, equity, and self-determination in U.S. territories. Working across traditional partisan and ideological divides, we do not take a position on status outcomes. But we believe it is time for a reckoning: U.S. colonial rule is real, wrong, and needs to end now.
