SHAREHOLDER DEMOCRACY

Shareholder Democracy is a movement to transform corporate governance by empowering not-for-profit civil society organizations to represent shareholders of publicly traded companies, thus giving voice to owners' values.

Representative Shareholder Democracy

You can vote alongside trusted organizations to express what matters to you. Organizations can represent your values, engaging with management, crafting shareholder proposals, and selecting corporate directors.

Together, you have a voice at the table that you can’t have alone.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I think all sides should be able to agree that it would be really important if we could organize shareholders to vote their proxies according to their wishes and take away the sort of extreme accidental market power of a few big companies. And, I think that informing people about sustainability or whether the firm finances abortion, or whatever it is that's your favorite thing you want to vote with your shares about, that it would be great if we could organize folks to do that."

Dr. Kevin Hassett, 29th Chairman of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers and Senior Economic Advisor to President Trump
