Advancing Democracy Through Law
About us
Campaign Legal Center (CLC) is dedicated to advancing democracy through law, fighting for every American’s right to participate in the democratic process. CLC uses tactics such as litigation, policy advocacy, communications and partnerships to win victories that result in a more transparent, accountable and inclusive democracy. Our long-term goal is a government responsive to the people. CLC’s commitment is to democracy, not to any political party or to any particular electoral result. We think about systemic impact when we choose which work to pursue, but we work at all levels of government to introduce innovative ideas that will drive significant change or set an important legal precedent. Our priority is engaging and driving action – whether in the courtroom, newsroom or statehouse.

Our democracy is strongest when all women can make their voices heard, but many women still face unique barriers to the ballot box. On this #WomensEqualityDay, we must reflect on how we can achieve true equality and strengthen our democracy. On this day, over 100 years ago, the Nineteenth Amendment granted some women in the United States the freedom to vote. However, it took decades more for all women to have this freedom. To strengthen our democracy, we must work to ensure that the freedom to vote is accessible for all women. We must uphold federal voting protections, like the #VRA, while also protecting and expanding voting practices that help make our democracy more inclusive and accessible. https://lnkd.in/dfrFd-G7

The recently introduced CLEAN Act would make the Office of Congressional Ethics a permanent entity. The OCE is the only independent ethics investigatory body in Congress. Codifying it would demonstrate that Congress takes ethics enforcement seriously.
