About
Scott Dworkin is an American progressive activist, researcher, media personality, and co-founder of the Democratic Coalition (formerly the Democratic Coalition Against Trump), which he established in 2016 alongside Nathan Lerner and Jon Cooper. The organization, structured as a Super PAC, aimed to raise $20 million to counter Donald Trump's presidential campaign through investigative research, social media campaigns, and public advocacy highlighting alleged misconduct by Trump and his allies. Dworkin serves as a senior advisor to the group, which rebranded after the 2016 election to focus on broader Democratic causes, including voter mobilization and anti-corruption initiatives. Beyond the Democratic Coalition, Dworkin is a podcaster and author who has contributed to progressive media outlets. He has built a significant online presence, particularly on Twitter (now X), where he shares research and commentary on political scandals. His work often involves crowdsourced investigations into Republican figures and has been cited in mainstream media. Dworkin has also collaborated with other activists on projects like the #TrumpLeaks initiative, which sought to expose information about Trump's administration. His activism emphasizes transparency and accountability in politics, positioning him as a key player in left-leaning resistance networks.
