Democracy Workers Collective

We are a union of workers at Democracy Works, fulfilling the promise of a more equitable, sustainable, and democratic organization.

We are proud members of The NewsGuild-CWA, local 31222. We formed the DWC to build a democratic and representative workplace by:

  • Centering equity

  • Establishing collective decision-making processes

  • Prioritizing accountability and transparency

“DWC means that we have a voice at DW, and we can advocate for ourselves and each other. It's great to be able to put democracy to action within DW.”

Alice, Software Engineer

“Democracy only works when it also extends to the workplace. I believe in democratizing the workplace because every worker deserves to live in dignity and feel that their contributions matter."

Jordan, Election Research Associate

“I always tell new prospective members how much I appreciate that the DWC is a truly member-driven and bottom-up organization. Our union really is us, learning from one another that we're not alone in our problems and working together to solve them.”

Neil, Software Engineer

“We want this organization to be a place where talent stays because they love the work and because they are paid fairly. We are fighting for our present and our future.”
