A Year in Review: 2025
This has been an extraordinarily tumultuous year. Relentless assaults on democracy, the rule of law, and our justice system have tested the very foundations of our constitutional government. In response, Lawyers Defending American Democracy intensified our efforts, as more fully described in our 2025 Year-End Report, Meeting the Moment in an Unprecedented Year.

Meeting the Moment Initiative
LDAD has launched “Meeting the Moment – A Call for Lawyers to Lead,” asking lawyers to engage with their communities about what is at stake and why it should matter to everyone. Meeting the Moment seeks to engage lawyers, businesses, the media, nonprofit organizations, faith communities, civic and community groups, and others in the fight to preserve our democratic institutions and the rule of law. Check out our growing list of resources on our Meeting the Moment tab.
