About Open Democracy Teams
The Regional Democracy Teams (RDTs) are a collaborative of Granite Staters across NH taking weekly steps to make the promise of democracy real for all. Since inception in 2019, the RDTs have collectively taken thousands of actions to protect the freedom to vote, limit the influence of wealthy special interest groups, and ensure everyone has an equal say in government.
"Democracy isn't something we HAVE, it's something we DO." - Doris "Granny D" Haddock
The RDTs are open to all, whether or not you have experience "doing" democracy or are joining the cause for the first time. In the spirit of our founder Doris "Granny D" Haddock, who at 89 years old walked across the United States for campaign finance reform, the RDTs are a testament to the power of everyday people to make change.
