Defending the right to vote

Through litigation and innovative ad campaigns, Priorities Foundation is leading the effort to empower marginalized communities, people of color, students, the elderly, and voters with disabilities to fully participate in our elections.

Your voice, your democracy

We believe every American has the right to cast a ballot without unnecessary barriers. We’ve supported voting rights litigation in 30 cases across 11 states, and counting. We won’t stop until the right to vote is no longer threatened and every American is empowered to participate in our democracy.

Over $60 million in voting rights litigation since 2015

Priorities Foundation defends vulnerable communities disproportionately impacted by voter suppression laws. We invest in voter education, voter protection, and litigation to ensure ballot access.

The Priorities Foundation has won voting rights cases in Michigan, Arizona, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Missouri, Florida, and Iowa to combat voter suppression at the state level.
