Be the Change That Protects Democracy.
From Our Director
Democracy doesn’t defend itself. We do.
Trust Brigade was founded on a simple truth: real change begins with connection. Our democracy is threatened, and the cost of disengagement is rising. Every conversation we have is a reminder that listening can still break through fear, misinformation, and isolation. The work we’re doing now will determine our future.

Our Mission
We’re rebuilding trust in democracy, one real conversation at a time. In Colorado’s 8th Congressional District (CD8), we’re on a mission to have 7,500 genuine, heart-to-heart talks before the 2026 election. Each conversation helps bridge divides, inspire action, and remind people that their voice matters.
