Strengthen alliances of democracies to present a united front.
Build and coordinate a coalition of democracies so pressure on rights abusers lands together instead of piecemeal. Use existing forums like the G7 and the Summit for Democracy to align statements, timelines, and follow-through—such as joint UN action, coordinated sanctions, and shared support for pro-democracy movements. This matters now because global freedom is declining and there are openings for democracies to act together.
Why this works
- Multilateral pressure is harder for autocrats to ignore, and sharing the burden (e.g.
- EU, US, and regional democracies all sanctioning a regime) amplifies impact.
- It also avoids singling out the U.S., reducing claims of “Western imperialism” if many countries speak together.
Win Without War
AdvocacyProgressive coalition advocating for a more peaceful U.S. foreign policy
Win Without War is a national advocacy coalition, founded in 2002 in the run-up to the Iraq War, that works to promote a more peaceful and progressive U.S. foreign policy. The coalition includes dozens of organizations and mobilizes grassroots activists to influence Congress and the executive branch.
Mechanism
How Win Without War uses funding

- Recruit and align diaspora groups and rights organizations around a shared objective.
- Convene partners to coordinate messaging, roles, and timing across forums like the G7, Summit for Democracy, and the UN.
- Sustain pressure with a cadence of joint statements and coordinated follow-through.
- Track commitments and publish updates as conditions and opportunities change.
