The Democracy Cell Project (DCP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching democracy, activating public involvement and encouraging citizen participation and discourse to create progressive change. We work through online and offline communications to educate and empower people across America who want to become more effective citizens, activists and organizers.

As one of our former blog editors put it, DCP "is a community, not a preconfigured entity. What we do here is participatory, not pontificatory. This is not a top-down enterprise. It has always been a concept, a community, a place in cyberspace where things happen from the ground up. And it was what it was and is what it is because of the people that are part of it, not in spite of them."
