The United States currently ranks in the lower half of high-income countries in the WJP Rule of Law Index, placing 26th out of 142 countries globally. As the country approaches a contentious election, there is a profound need to bolster democratic resilience and the rule of law. In this year’s #WorldJusticeChallenge, we are recognizing U.S. projects making noteworthy impact in any of our four thematic categories: youth engagement, electoral processes, justice institutions, and media & information. Common Cause combats partisan gerrymandering by advocating for an inclusive and transparent redistricting process. Fair and Just Prosecution facilitates collaboration among elected prosecutors to combat disinformation and educate constituents. Government Accountability Project addresses corruption within government agencies and advocates for accountability and reform through whistleblowing. IssueVoter informs citizens about current legislation, facilitates constituent communication with lawmakers, and promotes civic engagement. LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation empowers citizens with online information and analysis of U.S. federal and state voting and election laws. VoteRiders works to ensure that all eligible voters can participate in elections regardless of onerous voter ID laws. Congratulations to all our finalists!

At the World Justice Project, we believe in the power of legal professionals to lead their communities in standing up for the rule of law. We're excited to share this inspiring call to action from E. Leigh Dance in ALM Law.com
E. Leigh Dance: "Growing up in a place where laws don’t work well for most people can shape how you see the world. You can start thinking that breaking the law or treating each other poorly is normal. People begin cheating — skipping the rules, not paying taxes, behaving unfairly. The cycle repeats and worsens." https://loom.ly/C8Sm6tg

World Justice Project reposted this
At a time of deep division in the United States, there is one thing about which Americans overwhelmingly agree: the rule of law. World Justice Project surveys of people in the United States consistently reveal widespread commitment to rule of law values. This commitment holds across party lines. Democrats and Republicans agree that ours is a system of government bound by law, that no one regardless of position or privilege should be above the law, and that we should settle our differences peacefully under the law. The attempted assassination of former President Trump Saturday challenged those values, pitching violence against our law-bound electoral process. In the aftermath, it is critical that we remember our shared commitment to the rule of law. Everyone has a role to play in strengthening the rule of law in the context of the elections.
