AmericaSpeaks is reinvigorating American democracy by engaging citizens in the public decision-making that most impacts their lives. Through our innovative deliberative tools such as our 21st Century Town Meeting® and 21st Century Summit®, citizens have an authentic voice in local, regional and national decision-making on the most challenging public issues of the day. AmericaSpeaks' vision is that the public's business will be conducted differently - that by developing a rich national infrastructure for democratic deliberation through our projects, innovation and collaboration, America can access the collective wisdom of its people.
