Join Jim Olmsted In Protecting Democracy And Fighting Climate Change
We can begin with free and fair elections. Next we make certain that no president will ever be above the law. Then we restore our democratic institutions, unbreak our economy, and protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And then we must save our planet starting with fighting climate change!

Stay tuned for how we are going to fix things. In the meantime, call your elected officials and tell them what the problems are!

Jim Olmsted is a retired attorney committed to protecting democracy, defending democratic institutions, fighting climate change, and conserving natural lands. He is the co-founder and president of Democracy4All (D4A), a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing these goals.
At Democracy4All, we are driven by a singular mission: to defend and strengthen democracy, both in the United States and globally. We believe that a vibrant, transparent, and accountable democratic system is the foundation upon which all other societal protections depend.
In this era of escalating threats to democracy, we stand against the misuse of executive power, including attempts to undermine environmental protections, defund essential regulatory agencies, and bypass the rule of law. We oppose policies that jeopardize fundamental safety nets like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—programs that millions of Americans rely upon for survival.
Our mission extends beyond the immediate threats. We understand that protecting democracy is not merely a political objective; it is a moral imperative. Without free and fair elections, without a government that serves the public interest, and without institutions that defend human rights and environmental sustainability, there can be no effective response to the climate crisis.
We therefore dedicate our efforts to:
At Democracy4All, we believe that a truly just society is one where every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and every individual is protected. Our commitment is unwavering: we will continue to fight for a future where democracy thrives, human rights are safeguarded, and our planet is preserved for generations to come.

A healthy democracy doesn’t sustain itself. It requires participation.
To protect democratic institutions, we must speak out — regularly, clearly, and directly to those in power. That’s why we created our Contact Your Elected Officials page to help you identify, locate, and contact your local, state, and federal representatives. With the right tools, civic engagement becomes easier — and more effective. Bookmark this page, share it widely, and, most importantly, use it.
