Broadway has always been a stage for more than entertainment; it’s been a place where stories shape culture, spark conversation, and move people to action. Now, with the launch of Broadway for Democracy, that spirit is being channeled toward one of the most fundamental civic acts: voting.
Broadway for Democracy is a new nonprofit initiative bringing together artists, audiences, and communities to encourage voter participation across the United States. The organization exists on the simple belief that democracy thrives when more voices are heard.
By leveraging the reach and cultural influence of Broadway and the performing arts, the campaign aims to empower people of all backgrounds to register, show up at the polls, and play an active role in shaping their government.
Our mission is to remind people that their voices matter. Just as Broadway brings together diverse talents to create something larger than life, our democracy depends on millions of individuals stepping into their role as voters.
The organization will engage communities through live events, school partnerships, social media campaigns, and nationwide collaborations with theaters big and small. From annual concerts to grassroots performances, Broadway for Democracy creates touchpoints year-round to connect civic action with the energy and inspiration of live performance.
In a time when polarization often overshadows participation, Broadway for Democracy is firmly nonpartisan. Its focus is not on who people vote for, but on ensuring that they do. The initiative seeks to ignite a cultural movement around civic engagement, showing that voting is not just a responsibility but also an opportunity to tell one’s story and help shape the collective future.
With Broadway as its stage and democracy as its mission, the organization is setting out to make voter participation both a civic duty and a shared celebration.
