DEFEND THE VOTE
OUR STRATEGY
Democracy
is in crisis
Our nation’s failure to solve the major issues facing American families, from housing costs, to high grocery prices, to gun violence is a failure of democracy. Billionaires and extreme politicians have systematically dismantled guardrails that protect the voice of regular people. Now, the Trump administration is breaking down the checks and balances designed to hold our leaders accountable.
Defend The Vote fights to preserve our most valuable American right:
the right to vote
