Democracy doesn't move to the right place on its own
We cut through the noise, set the agenda, and ensure that the priorities of the people shape what government actually does.
Center for Democratic Priorities
Democracy & Voting Rights
Economic Fairness & the Cost of Living
Economic Fairness & the Cost of Living
Republicans across the country are systematically making it harder to vote — closing polling places, purging voter rolls, and gerrymandering districts to lock in minority rule. The Center for Democratic Priorities believes that a government that reflects the will of the people starts with ensuring every eligible American can cast a ballot and have it counted. We fight for automatic voter registration, independent redistricting, and the restoration of the Voting Rights Act. Democracy is the prerequisite for every other priority.

Economic Fairness & the Cost of Living
Working Americans are falling further behind while corporations post record profits and the ultra-wealthy capture an ever-larger share of the economy. The Center for Democratic Priorities advocates for policies that put money back in the pockets of working families — from expanding the Child Tax Credit and lowering prescription drug costs to holding price-gouging corporations accountable. An economy that works for everyone isn't a radical idea; it's the Democratic priority. We push elected officials to deliver on it.
Reproductive Freedom
Economic Fairness & the Cost of Living
Immigration & ICE Accountability
The overturning of Roe v. Wade was not the end of the fight — it was the beginning of a state-by-state assault on the fundamental right of every American to make their own health care decisions. The Center for Democratic Priorities is committed to restoring reproductive freedom as a federal guarantee, not a geographic lottery. We make clear the human cost of abortion bans and hold every elected official accountable for where they stand.
Immigration & ICE Accountability
Economic Fairness & the Cost of Living
Immigration & ICE Accountability
Americans deserve an immigration system that is orderly, humane, and consistent with the rule of law — not one built on fear, family separation, and unchecked enforcement power. The Center for Democratic Priorities opposes the use of ICE as a political weapon against immigrant communities, including legal residents, asylum seekers, and longtime members of American society who have never been charged with a crime. No government agency should operate without transparency, oversight, or accountability.
