Advancing Democracy Through Law
About us
Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is dedicated to advancing democracy through law, fighting for every American’s right to participate in the democratic process. CLC uses tactics such as litigation, policy advocacy, communications and partnerships to win victories that result in a more transparent, accountable and inclusive democracy. Our long-term goal is a government responsive to the people. CLC’s commitment is to democracy, not to any political party or to any particular electoral result. We think about systemic impact when we choose which work to pursue, but we work at all levels of government to introduce innovative ideas that will drive significant change or set an important legal precedent. Our priority is engaging and driving action – whether in the courtroom, newsroom or statehouse.

We cannot have a fair and inclusive democracy unless voters of color have an equal voice, but certain electoral systems, including at-large systems, can be used to silence communities of color. We explain how in our latest newsletter. #newsletter #elections #voting #explainer

Today, the United States Supreme Court ruled that a President is IMMUNE from criminal prosecution based on any exercise of his “core” presidential powers, even if his goal was to overturn a lawful election. Now, the Court's decision makes it highly unlikely that a trial for former President Trump will occur before Election Day, depriving voters of the right to know whether someone running in the 2024 presidential election is guilty of attempting to overthrow the last one. As CLC’s Senior Vice President Paul M. Smith shared in our official statement, "the long-term consequences of this ruling go far beyond 2024 and our current controversies."

Disability Pride Month is happening now! An accessible democracy is a strong democracy, and far too many Americans with disabilities are still facing barriers to voting and running for office. Throughout the month, we’ll discuss what we can do together to create a more accessible electoral system. To that end, we want to hear from you – what questions do YOU have about expanding access to the ballot box and increasing representation for people with disabilities? #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #democracy #accessibility #representation

Our democracy thrives when we can be our open, authentic selves in it, from the ballot box to elected office. As we continue the important work of creating an inclusive and accessible democracy for ALL LGBTQIA+ Americans, we wanted to share these words from Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to public office in California. Who is your favorite LGBTQIA+ democracy advocate? Tell us in the comments! #PrideMonth #LGBTQIArepresentation #inclusion #democracy

NEW: CLC has released a new report highlighting the key elements of an effective independent redistricting commission. When done right, these commissions are a crucial, voter-centric solution designed to make the redistricting process transparent and impartial. This is important because voters should choose their politicians, not the other way around. Read the key findings of the report: https://lnkd.in/eUVEmD8B #report #redistricting #democracy #transparency
