Democracy Summer 2026
Congresswoman Brown is participating as a partner in the 2026 National Democracy Summer School! This one-of-a-kind Democratic Fellowship—founded by Congressman Jamie Raskin and expanded across the country in an historic partnership with the DCCC—is dedicated to recruiting thousands of high school and college-age students and training them as the next generation of Democratic political activists and leaders.

This six-week program will take place from Monday, June 22nd to Friday, August 7th and requires a commitment of 10-15 hours per week. Fellows will participate in exciting online seminars and a powerful curriculum designed by Congressman Raskin, while also organizing on-the-ground with the Congresswoman's campaign in Ohio.

Throughout the academic portion, Fellows will learn from academic luminaries, inspiring political leaders, policy experts, issue advocates and top community organizers from all across the country.

No Honking In Lyndhurst...

From the organizer: Last Saturday "despite the city’s new ban on honking, 100 folks showed up to exercise their right to free speech in front of Tesla, Lyndhurst, OH. Fortunately everything went well and no one was pulled over for supporting and honking."
