Helping Governors Work Together to Champion Fundamental Freedoms
GovAct is a nonpartisan nonprofit initiative that supports coordinated governor action to protect essential freedoms and improve people’s lives.
What We Do

By fostering bold action across state lines, GovAct drives forward meaningful change to protect essential rights and democratic values across the United States.
