Democracy Defenders Fund is on the front lines, fighting to defend and restore American democracy.

The United States is facing the most serious internal threat to democratic governance since the 1960s: a weaponized executive branch, a complicit Supreme Court, congressional abdication, and a fractured media ecosystem that rewards disinformation and cruelty over truth and accountability. Democracy Defenders Fund is dedicated to restoring American democracy by upholding the rule of law, fighting corruption and ensuring every election is free, fair, and secure. Your tax-deductible gift enables our nonpartisan team of experts to fight corruption, protect elections, and defend the rule of law to keep our democratic pillars standing.
