Mission

Heartland Democracy wins over hearts and minds in the Midwest to just and sustainable community goals through public engagement on regional policy initiatives.

Our communities range from the block to the town, from the state to the region, and from the nation to the world. Communities exist, too, among colleagues, friends, and other groups in which two or more folks get together, in person or online. We note that many of us live, work, commute, and travel across state lines. We grew up in one state and live in another. We have friends and family across the Midwest. We share common values and principles. Heartland Democracy aims to regionalize thinking and collaboration so as to achieve in the Midwest together what we cannot accomplish alone.
