Democracy, Every Day

A common refrain during election season reminds us that "Democracy isn’t just about election day—it’s something we practice every day."

It’s a great quote for sharing on social media, but the obvious follow-up question isn’t as simple: how exactly does one practice democracy every day?

At its core, democracy thrives on transparency, accountability, and the participation of normal people in the functioning of the government.

These are values that local news organizations provide to their communities by shining a light on the actions of elected officials, businesses, and public organizations. It’s this ongoing dialogue that fosters trust, encourages participation, and ensures that no one’s voice is left unheard.

The enhancement of democracy is one of the main goals for the Langley Union.
