Democracy for Vancouver (d4v.org) seeks to promote ideas and programs such as fair and verifiable elections, quality health care affordable for everyone, peace through diplomacy without preemptive wars and occupations, media reform, living wages and other much needed political changes. We seek to diminish the influence of divisive, intolerant politics and the harmful effects of selfish, money-driven special interests on our political system while growing true democracy through grassroots activities and people powered publishing.
