States across the country are fighting to defend a free and fair democracy. LCV and our state partners in the Conservation Voter Movement have worked to secure legal protections for voters, lessen the damage of Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, and slow the creep of authoritarianism into state legislatures around the country. Here are the most important initiatives each state in the CVM has won this year.

Each month, LCV shares five stories about the impact of our work. This month, we’re introducing the new LCV president, explaining the LCV v. Trump Part II lawsuit, celebrating history-making women in Congress, and featuring state democracy and clean energy wins in Idaho, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
