Thanks for visiting Claim Democracy - the official website of the Claim Democracy Conference. On November 9th to 11th, hundreds of pro-democracy activists and experts, from Maine to California to Hawaii, converged at the University of the District of Columbia to GET INFORMED, GET INVOLVED AND GET ACTIVE!
On behalf of FairVote, along with all of the sponsoring and supporting organizations, thank you for making Claim Democracy 2007 such a great success. On this website, you can read about all of the informative plenary sessions and concurrent breakouts that took place at the conference. We hope to soon include video footage from conference panels. You can also find details about our friends from voting rights, election reform and fair media organizations that are such a vital part of the democracy movement. Check the site regularly, as we will post information about upcoming pro-democracy events and conferences.
