Building civic power from the ground up.
We’re making civic engagement easy, social, and contagious.
Learn something, do something, teach someone else.
Together, we’ll build local power that spreads like wildfire.*
*not actual wildfire
Democracy is for everyone.
Have you ever felt...
Left out of traditional civic or political spaces?
Too busy, stressed, or unsure how to start?
Excited to understand issues and build local relationships?
Then Back Yard Democracy Is for You
Empowering Civic Engagement Together
Our Dream
We aim to create a movement rooted in relationships, focused on learning together, and building power from the ground up for everyone.
Back Yard Democracy nurtures civic education and engagement, fosters connections and collaboration among neighbors to build informed voters and increase turnout across New Mexico and nationwide.
We make civic education and local engagement simple, social, and fun. Whether you're attending your first workshop, grabbing a t-shirt, or hosting a conversation in your neighborhood, you’re helping create a ripple effect that strengthens our community.
Be Part of Democracy
We’re building a grassroots movement in New Mexico to make local government simple, social, and accessible — so everyone feels empowered to shape what happens where they live.
