Will democracy prevail?

This is the question of our time.

What we do now will determine the answer.

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.
