About Us
The Americans United to Preserve Democracy & the Rule of Law is a nonpartisan initiative that brings together experts on American history, economics, political science, global affairs, and the U.S. Constitution to raise public awareness about the historic anti-democratic threat facing the United States.
United to Preserve sponsors events in communities across Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin experiencing rising threats of political violence, voter misinformation, and threats of electoral subversion. American citizens united to preserve our democratic institutions, the rule of law, and democracy are crucial in the fight to protect our republic.
