Thrilled to be a finalist in this year's #WorldJusticeChallenge!
The United States currently ranks in the lower half of high-income countries in the WJP Rule of Law Index, placing 26th out of 142 countries globally. As the country approaches a contentious election, there is a profound need to bolster democratic resilience and the rule of law. In this year’s #WorldJusticeChallenge, we are recognizing U.S. projects making noteworthy impact in any of our four thematic categories: youth engagement, electoral processes, justice institutions, and media & information. Common Cause combats partisan gerrymandering by advocating for an inclusive and transparent redistricting process. Fair and Just Prosecution facilitates collaboration among elected prosecutors to combat disinformation and educate constituents. Government Accountability Project addresses corruption within government agencies and advocates for accountability and reform through whistleblowing. IssueVoter informs citizens about current legislation, facilitates constituent communication with lawmakers, and promotes civic engagement. LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation empowers citizens with online information and analysis of U.S. federal and state voting and election laws. VoteRiders works to ensure that all eligible voters can participate in elections regardless of onerous voter ID laws. Congratulations to all our finalists!
