One thing
One thing that is missing from the Democracy Spring Wikipedia page is "structure & organization". Including a section on "structure & organization" would be helpful to readers because that way readers would get a better understanding as to how the organization functions and exists. Additionally, although Democracy Spring has a horizontal structure, there are some de facto leaders of the movement. This could be included under the "structure & organization" section simply by talking about notable Democracy Spring activists.

Another thing that I would like to see on the page is information about other things Democracy Spring is doing besides "Direct Action". Information on how they are using the Internet, social media, and media can show us how Democracy Spring stays active and relevant when they are not partaking in their campaigns of civil disobedience.

Thirdly, something else that could be highlighted on the page is Democracy Awakening. Including Democracy Awakening on Democracy Spring's Wikipedia page would be contingent on the fact that I can find information on how the two movements are interconnected. On the other hand, although Democracy Awakening is similar to and supportive of Democracy Spring, it may be seen as a distinct movement in its own right. Therefore, if there is enough information, I could make a new Wikipedia page for Democracy Awakening since I do not believe that it has one yet. If I make Democracy Awakening its own Wikipedia page, then possible subcategories could include: actions, demands, events, structure & organization, etc.

It looks as if each fact is referenced with an appropriate source except for reference number 22. Someone referenced a tweet to include on the Wikipedia page when they are talking about how participants in this movement were able to stage a sit in within the National Democratic convention perimeter. Although the tweet may be accurate and they didn't reference the tweet in its entirety, they should look for a more reputable source to reference before it gets included on the page.

I clicked on the links and they work. I didn't notice any plagiarism or close paraphrasing. I don't see any references that are out of date. The two most out dated references are from 2011 and 2013, but they are both just referencing Cenk Ugyur, a progressive political commentator who participated in the 140-Mile March to the U.S. Capitol & Sit-Ins. Everything else looks as if it is up to date with most references being from 2016.
