Faiths United to Save Democracy (FUSD) is a ten-state nonpartisan, multi-racial, interfaith, and multi-generation voter justice campaign with a toolkit, to make voting easier for vulnerable populations. They represent a unique and powerful way to reach voters across party lines and across other divides bring new levels of sanity Into the political process.

They also demonstrate the importance of the work being done on the ground to turn out the vote, which in the end, even with all of the obstructions being advanced in various states by Republican Governors and Legislatures, is the only way We the People can, most especially in the upcoming midterms, defend Democracy against the dangerous assault it is under.
