The Democratic Cup is a slow activism project that uses handmade cups to encourage people to become active and engaged citizens in our democracy. It is a collaborative effort by 48 passionate artists across the country. They encourage person-to-person (or virtual) civil conversations about social and political issues. Everyone needs conversations and connections to reinforce the dignity and inclusivity of all Americans, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexuality, and culture. The Democratic Cup believes that these cups will act as agents of social change by generating positive political discourse.
