DEMOCRACY HAWKS​

EMPOWERING DEMOCRATS TO CRUSH AUTOCRATS

Facebook Twitter Youtube Tiktok

Democracy Hawks is a US based organization that fights for democracy around the world. We craft social media campaigns, publicize cutting edge research, organize public forums, and publish original works that provide new tools to defeat autocracy–and tell the story of democracy’s promise for advancing equality and freedom.

"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission."
John F Kennedy
"All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride."
Corazon Aquino
“Democracy is fragile. You have to fight for every bit, every law, every safeguard, every institution, every story. You must know how dangerous it is to suffer even the tiniest cut. This is why I say to us all: we must hold the line.”
Maria Ressa
"Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy.”
Martin Luther King, August 28, 1963
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress... Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will."
Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857
"We have tasted freedom, and we will not give it up."
Volodymyr Zelensky
