Campaign

Fighting Fascism, Protecting Elections

Together, we’re standing up against a resurgent radical movement that seeks to undermine elections and democracy.

In Oregon, recent success includes passing model state legislation that:

  • Secures Oregon’s Electoral Count from fake elector attempts (2024)
  • Exposes misleading AI-distorted campaign ads (2024)
  • Blocks radical extremist attempts to rewrite of the U.S. Constitution using outdated Oregon legislation (2023)
  • Protects election worker safety with increased consequences for threats and violence (2022)
  • Curbs election disinformation, prohibiting knowingly spreading false election information (2021)
  • Shores up Oregon Elections funding (each budget)

We’ve also brought our national, nonpartisan Election Protection operation (with its multi-lingual hotline and legal support) here to support Oregon voters. Each election year, we monitor and respond to election sabotage, disinformation, and political violence, and partner with election officials to get out accurate election information.

There’s more work ahead. Join us in 2026 to defend and advance democracy in the face of an emboldened autocratic and authoritarian movement.

With so much at stake right now, consider meeting with your state senator and state representative as they deliberate on what legislation they will pass this year. You can schedule a 15-minute meeting with each of them, either in person or online. Now is the time to reach out....
