Democracy only falls when the people stop holding it up — and we’re not dropping it. The Democracy Defense category connects movements, watchdogs, and rapid-response networks that protect elections, voting rights, the peaceful transfer of power, and every safeguard authoritarian wannabes would love to smash.
