Democracy doesn’t live in one place.
It lives in courts and elections.
In public media and public libraries.
In science, civil service protections, campaign finance rules, and resistance to abuses of power.
The Governance and Democracy section of Plainly, Garbl pulls together advocacy groups working across all of those fronts — not as abstract ideals, but as real pressure points where democracy is either defended or quietly hollowed out.
This section includes:
Groups pushing back against executive overreach and authoritarian drift
Organizations protecting elections, courts, and democratic norms
Defenders of science, public media, libraries, and public institutions
Watchdogs focused on corruption, ethics, and accountability
Legal organizations challenging abuses of power in real time
You don’t have to chase all of this across the internet. It’s organized, ranked, and shareable — whether you’re looking to act, learn, or point someone else in the right direction.
