By the People is pleased to provide the documents and graphics below to support your participation in BTP activities, particularly this year's BTP centerpiece project -- Dialogues in Democracy: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Conducted in partnership with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Dialogues in Democracy aims to connect important issues of the day with the democratic values of the founders. Ongoing BTP funding partners include the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
