The Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD) was a political advocacy group formed in July 2017. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue–US (ISD-US) and ASD announced in December 2025 that they would be merging under the ISD-US banner effective January 1, 2026.
The organization was chaired and run primarily by former senior United States intelligence and State Department officials. Laura Thornton, formerly of International IDEA, joined ASD as its director in May 2021. Laura Rosenberger, chair of the American Institute in Taiwan and former senior director for China on the Biden administration's National Security Council, previously served as a director of ASD. ASD was housed at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its work spanned across both the United States and Europe.
