Alternatives in Democracy will teach members and facilitate discussions about viable means of breaking free from our established liberal democracy on a societal and economic level. The organization will educate members on how alternative systems, such as libertarianism, democratic socialism, and socialism, can realistically work in the United States and beyond. Historical context will be a big par
t of the discussions, as well as modern movements such as worker-owned cooperatives. We have partnered with a national organization based in New York called Democracy at Work (d@w) which serves to educate and expand worker-owned cooperatives in an effort to demand alternative solutions to capitalism. Though AiD is not an anticapitalist group, d@w can provide us with access to excellent speakers, materials, and resources of all sorts to help us discuss and debate alternative forms of democracy.
