As kids and young teens, we support Democratic
values like:
- helping those in need,
- protecting the environment,
- supporting our schools and teachers,
- making good health care available to everyone,
- treating people the same,
- keeping our country safe and strong,
- working together for all of America!
Like Democrats across our country, we think America should move in a new direction.
We kids and teens will help make that happen. We can change the world!
Some of us kids got started in politics a long time ago!
With First Lady Hillary Cinton, 1996; Kristin Gore, 2000; John Kerry, 2002.
Kids for Democracy is a new group created by kids all across the country. Our major goals as Kids for Democracy are to help kids and teens meet Democratic candidates and leaders, support Democratic ideals, develop leadership skills, and most importantly let all kids know that even though we can't vote, we can still have a voice in American politics!

But a lot of us became active in politics as Kids for Kerry, when we supported the Kerry-Edwards 2004 Campaign.
