Demos Comes to Wisdom House

 

 

Recently, members of the Demos organization met at Wisdom House to do strategic planning.

Demos means "the people." It is the root word of democracy. Demos is a public policy organization working for an America where we all have an equal say in our democracy and an equal chance in our economy. It believes that in America, the true source of our greatness is the diversity of its people.
