Donate Today to Support Democracy
We’re grateful to Polly Trottenberg and Katie Thomson for their event in support of Democracy Forward and hope you’ll join them in support of democracy and this important work.
This was not the moment we chose, but it is the one we were made for. At this critical moment, the stakes for our freedoms and rights have never been higher. We are here to equip people and communities with the right tools to defend democracy—in the courts and beyond. And we do it free of charge.
Donate today to power the fights for people and democracy happening across the country. Every contribution makes a difference.

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.
