Cottage Grove Friends of Democracy

Empowering Every Voice

United for True Democracy

Our goal is to ensure that democracy serves all individuals, fostering a community where every voice is heard and valued, standing together for the rights and freedoms of every citizen.

Who We Are

We are a grassroots, nonpartisan, pro-democracy, volunteer-driven, action-oriented group.

Our Mission

Defend and advance democracy through peaceful community action

Our Core Values:

Nonviolence is woven into our mission, others are soon to be defined (join us!)

Membership requirements:

None. This is a volunteer group, so nothing is “required” of our members. We do, however, ask everyone to become actively involved. Participation is intrinsic to democracy.

We are a community action group committed to upholding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, advocating for democracy that includes everyone, not just the wealthy.

Active members show up for democracy through:

• Participation in rallies or protests

• Committee participation

• Core group meeting participation (Wednesdays, 5:30-6:30)

• Any or all of the above
