The Brennan Center for Justice is a leading intellectual force in developing policies that ensure everyone has a real chance to have their voice heard.

The Campaign Legal Center advocates for passing and enforcing strong campaign finance reforms that help guarantee a democracy responsive to the people.

Demos deploys original research, advocacy, litigation, and strategic communications to shift power from wealthy donors to working people and empower all Americans to participate more fully in our democracy.

End Citizens United is working to overturn the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision and end unlimited and undisclosed money in politics by electing campaign finance reform champions, passing state ballot measures, and elevating the issue in the national conversation. 

Every Voice wants to restore balance to our political system, so regular people are heard and represented, regardless of how much money they have. They design, support, and win small-donor elections programs at all levels of government across the country.

Free Speech for People was founded on the day the U.S. Supreme Court ruled—with the Citizens United decision—that political spending is a form of free speech. They work to overturn that ruling through a Constitutional amendment and to realize their vision of a democratic process in which all people have an equal voice and an equal vote.
