Paul M. Katz
Moving people from concern to action.
Worried about our democracy?
You can do something.
Not sure where to start, who to trust, or what action actually fits your life?
Paul’s newest book, Commit Together helps you find a practical way in—based on what matters to you and the time you have.
It’s not apathy.
It’s navigation.
Paul M. Katz believes—and research supports—that millions of Americans care deeply about our democracy and want to help strengthen it.
The problem isn’t getting people to care. It’s helping them find a trusted, practical way to act.
After decades of creating and executing more than 100 social impact and advocacy campaigns, Paul is now bringing that experience—and what he has learned about moving people from concern to action—to civic participation and democracy.
That idea is at the heart of Commit Together.

Commit Together
A practical guide to reclaiming democracy
The book gives you clear context on the state of U.S. democracy — what is under pressure, why it matters, and where you can make a difference.
Healthy democracies, much like healthy relationships, depend on our ability to remain connected even amid disagreement. I’ve known Paul for many decades, and Commit Together reflects his enduring belief that participation, empathy, and shared responsibility keep communities strong.”
