Mission

State democracy defenders fund fills three key gaps in the fight against election sabotage and autocracy: our all-star team goes on offense against democracy deniers who break the law, including through our innovative program of outside public support for criminal prosecutions. We work with national, state and local allies across the country to defend in real-time the foundation of our democracy - free and fair elections. We help shape the long-term strategy to defeat autocracy in 2025 - and beyond.
