We're on a Mission: Raise $8,000 by December 7

Duration: December 1-7, 2025

Local democracy is under attack—and we're fighting back.

From school board takeovers to election office harassment to systematic efforts to silence community voices, the threats are real and intensifying. But here's what we know: when communities are organized, trained, and supported, we win.

This week, we're raising the resources needed to keep Defense of Democracy in the fight throughout 2026.

Defense of Democracy trains everyday people to become powerful advocates for their communities. We provide:

Training Programs that turn concerned citizens into effective organizers
Rapid Response when extremist groups target local institutions

2025 Impact: What We Built Together

This year, because of supporters like you:
