Because Democracy is Worth Fighting For

Lincoln Democracy Institute (LDI) is a leading non-profit (501c4) dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of non-partisan democratic values in the United States. LDI is unique in its focus on the impact of polarization, extremism, and violence on the American electorate. Using a values-based, consumer-centric methodology in its research and programming, LDI applies a straightforward perspective on issues and politics influencing our democratic norms. LDI believes in playing the game we’re in, not the one we know.
