Help Restore Our Country

These is a list in formation of organizations that I think are worth contributing to to protect and restore our democracy.

Election related:
These groups in key states are not working to elect candidates but to engage people from marginalized communities in the electoral process. Some also do other work in those communities. This is more effective than electoral get-out-the-vote work. These are in key states:
                NC: Carolina Federation
                MI: Michigan United
                PA: Make the Road PA
                NM: Semilla Action
                GA: Fair Fight 
U.S.: Center for Common Ground

Free Press: The press is under incredible attack. See this report:
Press Freedom Watch: Documenting actions that affect freedom of the press in the U.S.
And then contribute to these groups trying to protect the press
        Freedom of the Press Foundation
        Reporters Committee to Protect Journalists

 Corruption:
       Project on Government Oversight (POGO)
       Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)

These next two are local NYC organizations that I know and respect. They are not directly fighting authoritarianism but a sense of community empowerment is important to do so and they are excellent in that regard.
    Environment:
        WE ACT for environmental justice
    Justice and carceral reform
        Alliance of Families for Justice
