About Us
The Democracy Center works to foster a more vibrant local and global democracy by supporting more sustainable, united and stronger communities of action. We do this by providing non-profits and other groups, which directly promote our mission, affordable space for meetings, events, fundraisers etc. and by connecting student organizing to local campaigns.
Democracy Center FAQ
- How can I use the Democracy Center?
- Can my organization use the Democracy Center?
- The most important factor that we consider when reviewing an application for space is how a group is in line with our mission and our values.
- Is the building wheelchair accessible?
- No, unfortunately, currently the building is not wheelchair accessible. However, accessibility is very important to us and we are working to raise the funds to have the necessary renovations made. If you have some mobility, there are six stairs leading into the building, and although the bathroom is not accessible, all of the main rooms and doorways are large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
- Can we bring food?
- Yes, you can bring food. But you MUST clean up after yourselves, including washing all of your dishes and throwing out all of the trash in the building. Please do not leave any food at the Center.
- Is there a kitchen?
- Yes, there is a kitchen with a working sink, microwave, coffee maker and hot water kettle. However, there is no oven/stove or refrigerator.
- Is there a fee for using the space?
- Yes, we believe that almost no group will have a problem with our fees, 100% of which go to oprational costs of this amazing community space. However, we will never turn a group away for lack of funds.
