When the Trump-Vance administration breaks the law or violates the Constitution to the detriment of people and communities, Democracy Forward and our partners in the legal community are prepared to take the Trump-Vance administration to court.

During the previous Trump administration, our team took Trump to court more than 100 times, stopping unlawful activities and winning results that positively affected the lives of millions of Americans. We intend to use all the tools our Constitution and our democracy provide to oppose harmful extremism and build a better future for the people in our nation. A contribution today will power our work in courtrooms and communities across the country.

Our winning strategy

The courts are now a frontline in the battleground for democracy, not merely the last resort protectors of it.

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. At this critical moment, we must leverage our collective power to stop the law from being used in regressive ways and to build for a better future.
