We believe democracy is worth the fight.
Support Democracy Forward’s work to build collective power and advance a bold, vibrant democracy for all people.
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.
