Über uns
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform, revitalize – and when necessary, defend – our country's systems of democracy and justice. At this critical moment, the Brennan Center is dedicated to protecting the rule of law and the values of Constitutional democracy. We focus on voting rights, campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving our liberties while also maintaining our national security. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.

In my latest piece for State Court Report I wrote about a recent Minnesota case re: felony disenfranchisement and what it illustrates about how states approach access to the courtroom.

Project 2025 would fuel ongoing attacks on America’s elections official, as my colleague Eric Petry and I explain in this new piece.
Since 2020, election officials have been targeted by attacks just for doing their jobs. Project 2025 would strip away vital protections and give attackers more ammunition.
