Now that the Midterm Elections Are Over, Check Out Why Democracy Matters

By Department of Economics on November 5, 2014

Jay Mandle, W. Bradford Wiley Professor of Economics at Colgate University, and Joan Mandle, Associate Professor of Sociology & Anthropology, Emerita at Colgate University, have recently published “Change Elections to Change America: Democracy Matters – Student Organizers in Action”. The book highlights the work that the professors have done with their son and Colgate alumni Adonal Foyle in founding Democracy Matters. Democracy Matters is “a non-partisan campus-based national student organization” that trains students to be grassroots organizers and activists and supports public financing of election campaigns and other pro-democracy reforms.
