What we do

A healthy democracy requires more than elections alone.

At the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, Ben Franklin was asked by a passerby about what kind of political system we would have and he reportedly replied: “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

We pledge to keep it.

Through cutting edge research and innovative civic education, we work across the political spectrum. We serve as a trusted resource for journalists providing experts and timely perspective.  

By fostering dialogue at the local level and equipping Americans with knowledge, Keep Our Republic works to ensure that our democracy remains resilient, responsive, and worthy of the people it serves.

A healthy democracy depends on the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the informed participation of citizens.

Through research, civic education, and public engagement, we bring together community members from across the political spectrum. Our nonpartisan initiatives focus on the moments when democratic norms are most vulnerable, such as election disputes, the peaceful transfer of power, and the independence of the judiciary.

We also serve as a trusted resource for journalists, policymakers, and communities, providing timely analysis and tools to strengthen understanding of our constitutional system. By fostering dialogue, advancing nonpartisan solutions, and equipping Americans with knowledge, Keep Our Republic works to ensure that our democracy remains resilient, responsive, and worthy of the people it serves.
