Democracy 2025, resourced by Democracy Forward, includes a growing roster of 280+ legal, expert, and advocacy organizations and 800+ individuals representing millions of people and communities across the country. Members include litigators, strategists, advocates, academics and policy experts, and faith leaders who are prepared to challenge expected governmental actions that will harm people, communities, and our democracy. The actions the groups are prepared to respond to include efforts to purge and target our nation’s civil service, roll back health care access, harm immigrant communities, undermine labor protections, and dismantle core functions of the U.S. government.

Members of the coalition have built a multimillion-dollar war chest across organizations to support Democracy 2025 members taking legal action, representing people and communities pro bono, and creating resources for the broad pro-democracy community.
