Organizations
Learn about and support organizations that strengthen democracy
There are thousands of organizations, big and small, all over the country, helping to protect the nation and the people who live here. Some file lawsuits, some help register voters, some raise money for candidates or help candidates run - there are all kinds of groups helping in all kinds of ways.
One way you can get involved is by donating money or volunteering your time with organizations that strengthen democracy.
I've added organizations I think are doing good things - but there are so many more. You can search the internet for local or national organizations working on the issues that matter most to you.
Showing 1 - 9 of 9 organizations, in random order.
I'll be adding more organizations soon - keep checking back.
Indivisible
The Indivisible movement is a progressive grassroots movement of millions of activists across every state.
Indivisible started as the Indivisible Guide, a Google Doc guide to organizing locally to pressure your elected officials to resist Trump’s agenda. It caught fire as millions of people picked up the guide and its name - Indivisible - and organized their own local Indivisible groups to put the guide into action.
