Democracy depends on people who show up for their communities. Today, on #ElectionHeroDay, we’re thanking the poll workers and election staff who help make our elections possible. 🇺🇸 They’re our neighbors, friends, and family members. Whatever our political differences, we can come together to recognize their service. Watch this clip from FOX 5’s On The Hill, and carry that appreciation with you when you vote. A simple “thank you” is a great place to start. @fox5dc

Team Democracy is partnering with AllSides for an online roundtable on a question that matters to all of us: Are U.S. elections trustworthy? You’ll join a small group of people with different perspectives to discuss what builds confidence in elections, what raises questions, and what we can learn by listening to one another. Come with your own views. Be ready to hear someone else’s. Reserve your spot here: roundtables.allsides.com/spa…

Are U.S. Elections Trustworthy? Right now, only 55% of Americans are confident that this November's midterm elections will be conducted fairly and accurately (Pew Research Center, July 2026). What would help Americans have greater confidence in their elections? Let's Talk About It. @AllSidesNow Reserve your spot in one of three virtual conversations. allsides.com/trusted-electio…

Honest process. Nonviolent campaigns. Secure voting. Responsible oversight. Trusted outcomes. More than 6,000 Americans have affirmed the Principles for Trusted Elections. In @thehill, retired military leaders share why Americans may have more common ground than we think. thehill.com/opinion/campaign…

What does service to our country teach us about protecting democracy? Seven retired U.S. military and national security leaders, with a combined 250 years of military service, are calling on Americans to uphold the shared standards that help make elections free, fair and trusted. In a new Military Times story, Generals Michael Hayden, Stanley McChrystal, Mark Hertling, Marilyn Quagliotti, Douglas Lute, Charles Bolden and James Clapper share why honest processes, nonviolent campaigns, secure voting, responsible oversight and trusted outcomes matter to our democracy. As Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute puts it: “These aren’t liberal ideas, conservative ideas. They are the rules of the road.” Read the full story from Military Times and learn more about the Principles for Trusted Elections: militarytimes.com/news/penta…

As General Lute told Military Times, these are fundamental rules that Americans should be able to agree on before, during, and after an election.

A healthy democracy doesn't mean we all have to agree. It depends on our shared commitment to resolving our differences peacefully and protecting fair processes. This Democracy Day, let's recommit to the shared democratic values that support safe, fair elections and a healthy constitutional republic. #DemocracyDay #TeamDemocracy #FairElections

As we step into 2026 at a time that feels both consequential and complex for our democratic republic, we’ve been reflecting on the lessons of the past year and what they ask of us moving forward. This year, we focused on turning principles into practice across our three core initiatives. That meant deep, relationship-driven work to strengthen confidence in elections, bringing Americans across differences together through shared experience, and expanding civic credentials that recognize meaningful participation nationwide.
