Saving Democracy

Saving Democracy’s (SD) organizers intend to strengthen Americans’ understanding of and preference for liberal democracy as their chosen form of government. SD is driven to action by the steady rise of illiberalism in American society, mirrored in the country’s culture and politics, that endangers the founding traditions enumerated in the Constitution. These behaviors include handing power to illiberal leaders, displacing jurisprudence and civility, and governing by decree rather than consensus. SD will define the present threats and shape change.
