We're looking for people like you to join us to strengthen our democratic republic.

The Georgia Democracy Resilience Network (DRN) is a cross-partisan initiative working for a more peaceful Georgia where everyone can participate and have their voices heard.

Together we keep democracy strong.

Free, fair, and secure elections are the cornerstone of America's democratic republic. A peaceful, democratic republic ensures the protection of individual rights, upholds the rule of law, and promotes stability.

The DRN brings Georgians together who share a common concern for the future of our state and the mutual desire to build a more healthy democratic republic for all – regardless of political beliefs.
