Democracy Policy Network (DPN) is a civic organization that coordinates policy work for state leaders seeking to deepen democracy in state legislatures across the United States. By assembling policy experts, volunteer researchers, and statehouse leaders, DPN develops and disseminates a deep-dive policy agenda spanning a broad range of state issues to support democratic transformation at the state level. Based in Kelly, Texas, the group operates as an interstate network with a focus on organizing resources and strategy to accelerate changes in democratic governance. The organization has produced policy kits on restorative justice and youth decarceration and has pursued partnerships with groups such as Run for Something Action Fund and Data for Progress to explore and promote its policy concepts. DPN positions itself within the broader field of civic and social organizations, aiming to provide open policy resources and collaborative opportunities for legislators, staffers, activists, researchers, and journalists involved in state-level democracy initiatives.
