Defend The Vote is a political action committee dedicated to preserving our democracy through ensuring voting access, education and protection. Under the Trump administration, we saw a full-blown assault on our democratic values and most explicitly our right to vote. Notwithstanding, the 2020 election had the highest voter turnout in our nation’s history — a result of massive GOTV efforts made by a culmination of civically minded organizations. Without the right to vote, nothing else matters.

Following the 2020 election, when the Trump administration and officials at every level of government attempted to overturn the results in predominantly Brown and Black communities, it exacerbated the existing inequalities and injustices that are so deeply rooted in our voting system. This is nothing new. There have been several strategic attempts to disenfranchise voters throughout our history. It is abundantly clear that ALL of our rights hinge on our right to vote. Defend The Vote will fight to protect our most sacred American right: your voice, our vote.
