The Rally for Culture and Democracy (Berber languages: ⴰⴽⵔⴰⵓ ⵉ ⵉⴷⵍⴻⵙ ⴷ ⵜⵓⴽⴷⵓⵜ, romanized: Agraw i Yidles d Tugdut; Arabic: التجمع من أجل الثقافة والديمقراطية; French: Rassemblement pour la Culture et la Démocratie, RCD) is a political party in Algeria. It promotes secularism (laïcité) and has its principal power base in Kabylia, a major Berber-speaking region. Some consider it to take the position of a liberal party for the Berber-speaking population in Algerian politics.
