About Defense of Democracy
Defense of Democracy is a nonpartisan group advocating for an inclusive public education system. 
We advocate for legislators, educators, and administrators who will work to maintain communities as well as a public education system that supports and enhances our shared experiences regardless of religious beliefs, cultural background, or sexual orientation.

Defense of Democracy advocates for parents, teachers, students, librarians, and all Americans who are fighting every day to protect their civil rights from hate groups.

In the spring of 2022, two moms in a small upstate New York town came together to fight back against three candidates endorsed by the hate group Moms for Liberty who were running for school board in their community. Karen Svoboda and Laura Leigh Abby were quickly joined by others and a hard-working team of parents and they were able not only to defeat these candidates but to mobilize a community and double voter turnout. As of February 2023, Defense of Democracy has over 25 chapters and 3 affiliate groups throughout the United States.

Defense of Democracy is made up of people from all walks of life. Among our corps of volunteers, there are subgroups that include “Veterans Defending Democracy”, “Youth Defending Democracy”, “Librarians Defending Democracy” and many more. 
We are fighting back against the rise of Christian Nationalism and hate that is actively fighting to destroy our public schools, ban books, and punish LGBTQ+ ( and especially trans students,) teachers, and other marginalized groups. We have a list of core beliefs that we believe are essential for a strong education system and democracy and we encourage anyone who is outraged by the current state of affairs and hate-filled attacks on our schools to learn more about us and our beliefs at https://defenseofdemocracy.org/about/
Defense of Democracy is passionately committed to bipartisanship and welcomes anyone who is interested in protecting their fellow Americans, in particular, those in marginalized communities, from oppression. Some of our most vocal advocates are individuals who by all counts are considered “conservative” but happen to know and love people in the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

When you purchase from me, you’re helping support an independent, queer, disabled creator and activist and her family. I have been creative all my life and I have always loved making things that others can enjoy. Whether it is a t-shirt, crocheted doll, knit hat, a company logo or website, a spooky Halloween sign, or tools to help other creators, I love to bring my imagination to life! I have a BS in Political Science and a Masters in Public Administration so I also love when I can help other activists!
