Demos
Aims and Goals of Demos
Demos is a policy planning and opinion shaping institute based in New York City that aims to encourage equality, democracy, and a thriving public sector that furthers the common good. In terms of equality, Demos seeks to promote policies that increase economic opportunity for future generations of Americans, as well as correcting current gross inequalities. Demos advocates for increased involvement of citizens in their democratic institutions, especially underrepresented minority groups. The organization encourages minority ethnic and cultural groups to increase their democratic participation through sponsored voter registration drives, as well as get out the vote campaigns. Legal expertise is also provided to protect voting rights when they are violated, by attempting to hold groups responsible for voter suppression tactics as well as voter intimidation. Demos promotes the role of the public sector as protecting the well being of citizens, as well as promoting positive economic growth that is beneficial for all. Fellows of Demos produce original research and publications on the issues of concern to the institute, and an effort is made to promote a diverse discourse in public policy, especially by granting fellowships to experts from underrepresented backgrounds. International issues are also of concern to research conducted by Demos, with the goal of promoting prosperity and human rights abroad by defending workers and the environment, as well as increasing the domain of democracy. To protect the environment, Demos seeks to encourage sustainability and the values that further that end. Fiscal issues are also a concern, and collaboration with the Economic Policy Institute was undertaken to examine the role that public spending has in encouraging a sustainable fiscal path.
