The 14th Amendment completely revolutionized American society, guaranteeing birthright citizenship, equal protection under the law, and that no one can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process. It establishes that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen — full stop.
The 14th Amendment protects the fundamental freedoms we rarely think about but rely on every day. Today, it's promise is under attack by the administration, billionaires, and conservative lawmakers who are advancing policies to divide us, harm our communities, and consolidate power at our expense.
Popular Democracy is a network of 47 grassroots organizations across 32 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico that unapologetically demand transformational change for Black, brown, and low-income communities. We upend politics as usual to forge a representative, multiracial government and society where we all thrive — no exceptions.
Join us in fighting for a world where every person can live fully, freely, and without having to prove their humanity.
