Help End the Corruption of Our Democracy
Since the 2016 election, Equal Citizens has been in the trenches fighting to fix our broken democracy. We have a plan to push for fundamental reform by 2020, but we need your help. We need to raise at least $250,000 by election day, Nov 6, 2018. Make a tax-deductible donation today to help fund these efforts—and let’s end the corruption of our democracy, once and for all.
OUR PROJECTS
EQUAL VOTES
A legal challenge to the winner-take-all allocation of electoral votes
In a democracy, all votes should count equally. In our democracy, when voting for the president, they do not. Because of the winner-take-all allocation of electoral votes, if you don’t vote for the candidate who wins your state, your vote counts for nothing. That violates the Constitution’s “one person, one vote” principle. We plan to challenge this system in the courts. Join this fight for citizen equality. Learn more →
END SUPER PACS
We’re fighting super PACs in Alaska. If we win, we could end super PACs nationwide.
Working with citizens in Alaska — where state law gives citizens the right to demand election law be enforced — we want to take this question to the Supreme Court: What would the Framers have said about super PACs? Learn more →
ELECTORS FREEDOM
Resolving the constitutional freedom of presidential electors.
We are currently providing legal help to the electors in Colorado and Washington who were threatened or fined by their state government for voting their conscience in 2016. Learn more →

ANOTHER WAY PODCAST
Can we make 2020 something more than a civil war between Democrats and Republicans?
Is there a way to make the 2020 election about something more than simply defeating President Trump? Can it become an election that unites America? Can we leverage what unifies America, and get an (unrigged) democracy that could work? That’s the hope described in this six episodes — Another Way, Season One. Listen →
