We connect Broadway audiences to the tools they need to participate in democracy.

Every year, more than 33 million people see a Broadway show across the country. If just 5% are inspired to vote, that’s 1.7 million voices added to our democracy.
Numbers like that matter. We invite you to become a part of it.

By definition, democracy is a system of self-government in which power belongs to the people, exercised through equal participation in collective decision-making.
The theater shapes culture, elevates unheard voices, and reminds us what’s possible when creativity and community collide. At Broadway for Democracy, we believe that the same artistry that moves audiences can also move citizens.
The Broadway industry's reach, its visibility, and its ability to inspire action make it a uniquely powerful vehicle for civic impact. When performers, creatives, and audiences come together with purpose, we can ignite participation, energize communities, and help ensure that every voice has a place in our democracy.
Everything we do starts from three commitments.
We never endorse candidates or parties, and we never tell anyone how to vote. Our job is to help every voter take part.
Clear, simple, trustworthy information so fans and theatre workers can register, get informed, and vote with confidence.
Broadway's performers and creators bring the voice and reach that turn civic information into action.
Broadway for Democracy was co-founded by a team of Broadway actors, artists, creatives, and producers, and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in January 2026.
We started with a simple idea: the stages, stories, and stars that bring audiences together can also bring people to the polls. Today we work with artists, fans, and partner organizations to make civic participation part of Broadway culture.
