These are Madison’s own homegrown American revolutionaries. In their own words, they are, “dedicated to building a democracy movement for the U.S.A.,” providing resources, training, tools, and legal support to grassroots activists working to democratize elections, education, town hall, national defense, media, you name it!

Last year, none other than The Nation magazine named Liberty Tree an MVP — Most Valuable Progressive. Here’s what they wrote:

“Most Valuable Think Tank: LIBERTY TREE: Foundation for the Democratic Revolution is staffed by young, smart thinkers with roots in green and student politics who push the limits of the debate about how to repair elections, reform education and renew the spirit of 1776. Fellows such as BEN MANSKI and KAITLIN SOPOCI-BELKNAP go beyond narrow interpretations of both the Constitution and what is possible in a republic to explore what real democracy would look like at the international, national, state, regional and local levels. Read their great journal and visit them at: http://www.libertytreefdr.org ”

Democracy in the U.S.A.? Now that’s a radical idea.
