Unite and Rise 8.5: An Initiative to Defend Democracy

Since the Trump administration took office in January 2025, we’ve seen increased attacks on our democratic systems and a failure by Congress to intervene. Unite & Rise 8.5 aims to build a movement of 8.5 million individuals to unite and rise up against the anti-democratic actions of this administration.  The number 8.5 million is the estimated number of voters it would take to bring about change through nonviolent protest, based on findings from the Carr-Ryan Center for Human Rights.  This initiative is part of LWV’s Women Defend Democracy campaign.
