Our Mission
Vote 4 the Planet is a citizen‑led project dedicated to defending democracy, protecting our planet and resisting authoritarianism in any form. We seek a free society in which the government works for everyone, respects the Constitution and upholds the separation of church and state. Inspired by the "We Rise" manifesto, we know that when we stand together, we can turn fear into hope and silence into action.
Why we rise
Across the United States, elected officials are rewriting the Constitution to serve personal power rather than public good. From efforts to overturn elections and strip away reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights to movements seeking to insert a single religious worldview into law, core democratic norms are under assault. We believe that information and solidarity are our strongest tools. By publishing fact‑based reports and building a community of "Risers," we challenge those who would undermine freedom and we celebrate those who defend it.
