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.
From court challenges to grassroots monitoring to shutting down disinformation campaigns before they spread, this is where we keep the guardrails strong and the coup-curious sweating.
The vote is our voice.We will not let them silence it.
