The Democracy Initiative is a progressive coalition formed in late 2012. The initiative had goals of restricting the unlimited monetary donations by corporations, from wealthy political campaigns, and from causes permitted by the United States Supreme Court. Other donations were allowed by the United States Supreme Court from a decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, supporting voters' rights, combating voter ID laws, and curbing aggressive use of the filibuster in the United States Senate.[1]
