Our democracy is in danger
Our democracy is facing threats we haven’t seen in generations. Protect Democracy is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting efforts, at home and abroad, to undermine our right to free, fair, and fully informed self-government. Together, armed with our Constitution and the rule of law, we can renew our democracy and protect it from those who would do it harm.
Understanding
the threat
The story of the United States has been one of constantly seeking to perfect an imperfect democracy, and for most of our history we have moved towards delivering democracy’s promise to more and more of our union. However, this progress can, and has, stalled and reversed. Democracy itself is facing challenges not seen in decades. Recent years have been marked by presidential abuses of power, efforts by political leaders to stoke hatred, racism, and misogyny, and failures of our system of checks and balances that have sounded a powerful alarm.
Help Protect Democracy
History has shown that the best way to protect democracy is by standing united in its defense. Donate to help us to scale up our efforts to educate, advocate, organize, and litigate on behalf of the values we all hold dear.
