LAV and ECU merged earlier this year to combat the two biggest challenges facing our democracy: Big Money and voter suppression. ECU is dedicated to getting Big Money out of politics and fixing the rigged system in Washington so that the government works for all Americans. LAV is building a grassroots effort to fight back against voter suppression and protect every American’s right to vote. The groups’ affiliated project, Fight for Reform (FFR), focuses on reforming government and bringing transparency and accountability through state and local elections around the country.
