Democracy is a practice — and it takes practice. Democracy Week exists to create space for that work. This year, led by the Center for Democracy and Civic Empowerment, the University of Michigan will host a week of events open to students, faculty, and the broader community: lectures from leading voices, workshops for hands-on engagement, and conversations that cut to the heart of what democratic life requires of all of us. Show up. Listen. Ask hard questions. That's what this week is for.
