Democracy Forward’s Strategy to meet this moment

Representing America

The majority of the American people believe in the promise and potential of democracy. But extreme, anti-democratic movements seek to wield political power and roll back our rights.

Our clients and partners reflect the very fabric of our country. Our work ensures their voices are heard and that harmful, anti-democratic movements do not go unchallenged.

Defending democracy and policies that propel progress through public education, regulatory and legal support.

Disrupt.

Disrupting unlawful, regressive, and anti-democratic activity through litigation, investigations, and public education.

Build.

Building coalitions, supporting communities, and creating a more democratic and just future through the law.

Splash Statement

When the Trump-Vance administration breaks the law or violates the Constitution to the detriment of people and communities, we are prepared to take them to court.

Democracy Forward was founded to confront these unprecedented threats of the first Trump administration because the American people and our democracy needed the best lawyers to meet that perilous moment.

We will use all the tools our Constitution and our democracy provide to oppose harmful extremism and build a better future for the people in courtrooms and communities across the country. Join us.
