Democracy Matters was formed to build a community of pro-democracy donors, and since its inception, they have hosted over a dozen conferences, nearly 200 weekly webinars, and have united more than 1,500 donors and activists who are committed to strengthening and protecting our democracy.  

The Democracy Matters auction will help fill the critical funding gaps of American Bridge, Media Matters, The American Independent, and other progressive organizations doing the work necessary to win in November.

Three limited edition prints have been newly created for this auction by Jeff Koons, Walter Robinson, and Fred Tomaselli, and are available to buy now.

Ed Ruscha’s One Reason, made specially for the auction, will be available for online pre-bidding and transferred to live bidding on the evening of October 1st. Interest in bidding on this work during the live auction should be submitted via email to advisor@artspace.com, and our team will be delighted to assist.
