We turn public will into public policy. We’ve won dozens of ballot measures to raise wages, expand health care access, protect reproductive rights, secure more paid time off, and other life-changing policies for more than 20 million people.
In the 2023-2024 election cycle, more than 17 million people voted on one of our ballot measures. Read our 2024 Impact Report here.
This report documents the ongoing and escalating efforts by reactionary state legislatures to weaken direct democracy and restrict the power of voters. Over the past decade, these under-the-radar attacks have become a playbook for lawmakers determined to entrench their power and silence the will of the people. Rather than responding to popular policy demands, these politicians are working to shield themselves from accountability to their constituents. Authored by the Fairness Project, this report exposes the latest wave of anti-democratic state legislation and underscores the urgent need to defend and fortify the tools of citizen-led change.

“I loved working with TFP because they helped me, a new manager in the ballot initiative space, navigate the intricacies of managing a race like this. The funding TFP provided also allowed us to run the strongest race possible and helped us secure additional funding.”
“Since the start of our fight to restore abortion access in Missouri, the Fairness Project has been an invaluable partner. They’ve helped guide in-state organizations through an effort that’s unlike any other we’ve undertaken.”
