Protecting Democracy | Resources

Here are some groups doing the hard work to protect democracy. We encourage you to reach out and do what you can to help.

Here’s what we like to see. Lawyers taking a stand and making a difference. Take a look. Follow them on social media. See if you can help as a volunteer. And remember these groups rely on contributions for their good work. Send us stories of your involvement.

The Brennan Center for Justice. Working to build an America that is democratic, just, and free — for all.

Lawyers Defending American Democracy. Who knew that this could be a novel idea among some groups of lawyers. Take a look at this group’s important work. Sign up for their newsletter. Get involved.

Democracy Docket. The leading digital news platform dedicated to information, analysis and opinion about voting rights and elections in the courts.

Democracy Forward. We go to court for people and democracy. Defend, Disrupt, Build.

Society for the Rule of Law. Protecting the Constitution and the rule of law against rising threats posed by illiberal forces in society, without regard to political party or partisan affiliation.

Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Nonpartisan and nonprofit. Formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy to mobilize the nation’s leading lawyers as agents for change in the Civil Rights Movement.
