Democracy
The Democracy Program supports a broad array of initiatives intended to strengthen the foundations of democracy and good governance.
We support programs that promote a just, inclusive, sustainable society and advance the cause of full participation by all races, genders, and underserved populations through support of movement-led organizations.
Priorities include:
- ending partisan or racial gerrymandering
- overturning Citizens United
- expanding ballot access
- ridding elections of dark money
- holding government officials accountable for corrupt and unethical practices
- pushing reforms at local, state, and federal levels
- promoting progressive legislative agendas
- supporting a diverse field of emerging young leaders to help forge a truly inclusive and representative society
