Quoting from Democracy Forward's Website:
Across the country, from local school boards to the halls of Congress, extreme, anti-democratic movements seek to wield political power and roll back our rights. At this critical moment where those who were responsible for January 6th have returned to power, we must use the law to defend our democracy and build for a better future.The courts are now the frontline in the battleground for democracy, not merely the last resort protectors of it.
In towns and cities across America, Democracy Forward provides legal representation and expert counsel to people and communities who make up the very fabric of American democracy — free of charge. We also leverage our collective power and the law to hold anti-democratic actors to account at the national level.
Our strategic pillars incorporate immediate defensive needs and a longer-term, proactive view in this fight for our democracy, our present, and our future. We leverage creativity, legal excellence, and our team’s unique mix of expertise and diverse experience in service of an unyielding determination to make our future better than our past.

DECEMBER SPEAKER

About Us
How BG4D Began
Our beginnings were with the desire to ensure integrity in North Dakota government. Thanks to the founding BG4Ds, Measure #1 was passed a created an Ethics Commission in ND - proof that one person can make a difference as it started with Dina Butcher, then Ellen Chaffee and the rest is history (and you can google all about those days -
we got a bit famous).
Legislative Integrity made the NEWS
It IS all about ethics; and that's exactly how BG4D began and how we continue - ethics in government and politics has been badly shaken by Big Money. We want government to work for all of us. Click here to hear more:

How can we preserve our democracy?
We are non-partisan and we are committed to doing everything on this list, including supporting ethical candidates, from any party. Let's get to work and save our democracy from Big Money. We urge politicians to stop putting Party over Country and focus on what the people need. COUNTRY over Party.
