Danielle Allen

In late 2016, scholar and democracy advocate, Danielle Allen, set up the domain America the Indivisible to gather together concerned citizens who wanted to renew their commitment to our constitutional democracy. This was an informal conversational network, and followed on the response to her December 2016 Washington Post column, "How to Defend America the Indivisible." Ultimately, participants found their way to a variety of forms of engagement--from participating in Indivisible Chapters to running for office to joining community service organizations.  For Danielle, the work on and for democracy has only deepened and extended in the years since, leading ultimately to her own run for Governor of Massachusetts (2020-2022).  She continues to work on behalf of Democracy Renovation for America the Indivisible in all her roles: scholar, citizen, and columnist.
