Our collective experience informs our work – we’ve seen how autocrats attempt to dismantle democracies, and also how they  can be defeated.

 

Benjamin Franklin famously called for “a republic, if you can keep it” at the 1789 constitutional convention.

 

At Democracy Defenders Fund, we take action to ensure we will keep—and strengthen—our republic and democratic institutions. We are leading the fight to defend the rule of law, end corruption, and protect democracy.
