ABOUT OUR CAUSE
Democracy Matters
Our democracy depends on citizens who are connected in community and empowered to make a difference. By engaging in positive, respectful civic activity and conversations, we make the country stronger.
BriteHeart was founded in 2017 on this principle. We use the arts to create opportunities for people to exercise their civic power in unique and creative ways. By creating strong connections and meaningful engagement, we empower citizens to build on the better angels of our national history and take the future in their hands.

So many lack trust in our institutions, norms and leaders. Young people may be the most skeptical as evidenced by their low participation rate as measured by voting percentages.
The film/docu-series will explore the causes of this dysfunction and some ideas for reviving our civic life.
