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.

Our three pillars to advance a bold, vibrant democracy for all people:

Defend.

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.
