The guiding principle of the Rutgers Democracy Lab (RDL) is that democracy offers the best path for protecting liberty and individual rights. Yet democracy is fragile and requires active participation from all citizens to thrive, now and for generations to come. Our democracy is strengthened when we participate in civic life, engage in respectful dialogue with those who hold differing views, and work together towards a more perfect union.

Below is a video showcasing the important and creative work of our students for a brand-new initiative called The Digital Democracy Wall. The purpose is to develop meaningful content addressing key questions in our civic and political landscape. Students will share their research, interview peers and professors on relevant topics, and collaborate with each other on innovative solutions for issues that matter to them.
