None of the provided sources contains the DCC's pro-democracy action list or any description of how the Collaborative defines pro-democracy actions, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction. The list tracks the claimant's passage closely, and the attribution to DCC is resolved from the post's own context, so there is no extraction departure.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… that's what, that's the way that they defined why they're doing what they're doing in this effort, is to move people to, to change hearts and minds, to get people to take more pro-democracy action. We'll look at the change curriculum in a minute, uhm, but pro-democracy actions include vote, talk with friends, family about political issues, sign a petition, boycott a company for political or ethical reasons, share info or opinions about political causes online, attend a protest, contact an elected official, attend a community meeting or town hall, display a sign or other public expression of support, volunteer, donate to a candidate or cause, or join a civic or nonprofit organization.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Sources describe the Democracy Communications Collaborative as a convener and funder network for pro-democracy communications, but none of them lists or defines pro-democracy actions.[2][3][4]
Context. The Brookings 'Democracy 76' checklist lists civic engagement actions, but it is a separate publication, not a DCC definition, and it does not match the claimed DCC list.[1]
Context. The claim's list matches the claimant's own passage word for word, and the passage is not evidence, so no independent record supports the list as a DCC definition.
