Freelance Pitches

Pitch call alert: Myself and the crack team at U.S Democracy Day are looking for freelance pitches on — you guessed it — democracy. These articles will be available for republication with our 100+ newsroom partners, so this is a great way to get your reporting in front of new eyes. We're offering up to $2,000 per piece, plus diligent feedback from a team of top-notch editors.

What are we looking for?
- Solutions reporting on how communities are responding to threats to democracy
- Reported features that demystify government and advocacy organizations — think fun profiles, and behind-the-scenes looks at how things work
- Well-crafted Q&As with thought leaders on fixing polarization and stemming mis- and disinformation
- Op-eds that offer an international perspective on what we can learn from democracy abroad.

Interested? Drop your pitch into this Airtable form by July 24 to be considered.

H/T to Rachel Glickhouse, Joe Amditis, Jennifer Brandel, Stefanie Murray, and Jaisal Noor for helping pull this together!
