Voting & Elections Americans still face many barriers to voting. Meanwhile, elections require secure systems and independent administration of the casting and counting of ballots. The Brennan Center fights for voting rights, and we advocate for plans that will safeguard the election system — and the officials who work in it — from attacks and political interference.
Money in Politics Americans are fed up with the role of big money in political campaigns. The Brennan Center’s solution: small donor public financing to put power back in the hands of individuals.
The Courts Our courts should be bulwarks to protect civil rights, democratic values, and the rule of law — but increasingly, the promise of evenhanded justice is at risk. The Brennan Center is fighting back with bold solutions for judicial reform.
Criminal Justice A fair and equitable criminal justice system is critical for a healthy democracy. The Brennan Center champions evidence-based reforms that protect both individual rights and public safety.
Government Power The Brennan Center confronts abuses of executive power and works for national security policies that ensure Americans’ safety while protecting our rights to privacy, free speech, and government transparency.
U.S. Constitution The Constitution was designed to change with the times while preserving the promise of justice, equality, and liberty for all. The Brennan Center is dedicated to making sure it does just that.
