Resources and In the Movement
We provide thought leadership on policy solutions that will create sustainable power for Black and brown communities. We do this while working to push the conversation within the movement to center these policies and the voices of Black and brown people directly. See highlights below…
A proposed publicly run credit registry will gradually replace the current for-profit corporate system, and is designed to be responsive to consumer needs and equity concerns rather than the corporate bottom line. A public credit registry will develop algorithms that diminish the impact of past discrimination, deliver transparent credit scoring, provide greater data security and offer a publicly accountable way to resolve disputes. The use of credit information for non-lending purposes, such as employment, housing, and insurance, will be curtailed.
The US supreme court has been weaponized to skew political power in favor of extreme conservative coalitions. Sabeel details how this has been done and makes the case that any democratic reform agenda must include structural reform of the judiciary.

Our Mission
Demos Action works to promote a multi-racial populist economic and pro-democracy agenda while building the long-term progressive governing power it will take to give an equal say and an equal chance to all Americans. It is a project of Tides Advocacy, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization.
Demos Action’s strategy for change is to provide bold, progressive policy and narrative ideas to shape the governing agendas of elected officials and political candidates. We also support the leadership and vision of Black and brown communities who are working to build power, increase voter engagement and create innovative and impactful policy that will change peoples’ lives.
