History

The organization's founding convention was held at Mo Ranch conference center, in Hunt, Texas, United States in 1996[2] by Ronnie Dugger, founding editor of the Texas Observer, whose article "A Call to Citizens: Will Real Populists Please Stand Up" was published in The Nation in August 1995.[3] He was assisted by Ohio lawyer Cliff Arnebeck. The Alliance's current campaigns focus on public banking, local food and self-governance, fighting the privatization of water and municipal water and sanitation systems, and working to pass local resolutions against the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The Alliance for Democracy's national office is located in Hudson, Massachusetts.
