We will fight for people, freedom, and our democracy against any odds
Democracy 2025 is the strategic hub to protect people and their rights should the Trump-Vance administration seek to unlawfully strip away freedoms and prosperity.
We know the playbook, and we’re ready to fight back
The threats are no longer hypothetical. The effort to turn Project 2025 and other dangerous plans into action has begun.
We’ve planned for this moment. In courtrooms and communities across the country, we will use all the tools our Constitution provides to defend our rights and achieve a democracy that works for all people.
This is the united frontline in the fight for our democracy
We are 280+ organizations representing millions of people, committed to working more quickly, more strategically, and in greater numbers than ever before to defend our democracy and disrupt far-right attacks on the American people.
Understand the threats and how we’re responding
Despite claims, no President or their allies can just snap their fingers to implement an anti-democratic vision. Our laws and Constitution provide real protections and tools through the courts and in our communities to stop abuses of power and harms to people. Still, these threats are real, so we’re prepared to confront them.
Learn more about the threats we've identified, and check back often as we release additional analysis, tracking, and tools to respond.
Attacks on Career Civil Servants
Non-partisan civil servants work as federal employees in every state of our country, swear an oath to our Constitution, and ensure our air and water are clean, our medications safe, and that our government functions. Our coalition is prepared to defend civil servants against attacks from public and private bad actors, and we will be releasing public servant protection resources soon.
Eliminate Checks and Balances to Undermine Democracy
Our government should serve the people, not politicians' self-interests. Members of our coalition are ready to counter any attempts to weaponize the federal government against political enemies, to undermine voting rights, or to go around checks and balances in court.
Further Restrict Reproductive Rights and Access to Health Care
People need access to affordable medication and health care, including reproductive care. The majority of Americans do not want the government controlling their bodies. Members of our coalition have defended the Affordable Care Act, protected medication abortion access, and blocked discriminatory health care policies in court before, and we'll do it again.
Cut Wages, Create Unsafe Workplaces, and Destabilize Our Economy
Workers deserve safe, good-paying jobs, and costs need to come down. Members of our coalition are ready to counter any efforts to cut overtime pay, relax worker safety or child labor rules, allow workplace discrimination, and more.
Enable Discrimination Across Society
Democracies should protect people's rights, not take them away. From racial and gender equity to LGBTQ+ rights, members of our coalition will fight to hold the line and counter attempts to roll back the progress we have made in this arena.
Make Education Unaffordable and Unwelcoming
Students deserve a quality, affordable education. Members of our coalition have stopped efforts to criminalize librarians, protected student borrowers, and ensured public funds went to public schools in states across the country, and we will do the same at the federal level if needed.
Set Polluters Loose and Undo Climate Action
Healthy communities and a safe environment are essential for a thriving democratic society. Members of our coalition are ready to counter efforts that would undo climate action or allow more harmful pollution in communities across the country.
Attack and Demonize Immigrants and Our Communities
Authoritarians often use anti-immigrant rhetoric or actions to fearmonger and consolidate power. Our coalition has stopped efforts to act unlawfully and harm immigrant communities before, and we are ready to do it again.
Weaponize the Military and Compromise National Security
Our leaders should prioritize the U.S. national security over their own interests. If Trump or his allies try to use the American national security apparatus for their own political and personal interests, we are prepared to hold them accountable.
We will use the law to defend people and communities
Even with a judicial landscape shaped by the far-right legal movement, pro-democracy organizations, advocates and individuals representing people across the country have been able to successfully use the courts to defend communities from harmful government actions.
