Public Citizen's Democracy Campaign works to protect and build a stronger democracy in the United States. Democracy and the rule of law in the United States is under systematic attack by the Trump administration. Big money raised in secret that undermines the voice of the people in our elections, the freedom to vote is under assault, and lawlessness by the executive branch is increasing. We are working to mobilize people en masse and on strategic campaigns to protect the foundation of our democracy.

Public Citizen is a national, non-partisan, public interest group with more than 500,000 members and supporters. We hold governments and corporations accountable with campaigns and advocacy before all branches of government on issues including money in politics, open government, financial regulation, the democracy crisis, fair trade, consumer protection, access to justice, workplace safety, drug and medical device safety, and more.
