VelvetRevolution.us ("VR") is a nonpartisan network of more than 120 organizations reaching millions of people demanding progressive change through our VR Electoral Reform, Media, and other campaigns. VR launched The Velvet Revolution Election Protection Strike Force in 2006 to address our deep concerns about the condition of the U.S. election system. Individual membership and organizational affiliation are free. Members and affiliates receive occasional emails from us about our action campaigns. Your donations are welcome and sustain our work. VR is a 501(c)(4) organization.

Velvet Revolution is a term coined to describe the peaceful road to change in countries where governments ignored the inalienable rights of the people. A few inspiring Velvet Revolutions occurred in the former Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, South Africa, and of course, most recently in the Ukraine. The citizens of those countries, tired of corruption and arrogant power, joined together by the millions in sustained campaigns of opposition - they demonstrated, boycotted, petitioned, and engaged in strikes until the pillars of power were replaced by the halls of the people.
