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.
