In an era marked by profound challenges to the fabric of democracy at home and across the globe, America’s commitment to upholding democratic principles has never been more critical.
Our campaign is dedicated to confronting these challenges head-on, ensuring that democracy is not only defended but also strengthened for future generations.
This comprehensive approach is built on four foundational pillars: campaign finance reform, the enactment of a new Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), the protection of voting rights, and the defense of democratic institutions worldwide.
