What we believe
Most people want the same basic things: honest representation, a government that functions for the people, and freedom to live without undue interference.
We want a government that answers to voters, not financial donors — and we advocate for reforms that reduce partisan gridlock and incentivize politicians to serve the people, not wealthy interests. Following are three illustrations where Americans show wide agreement:
Get money out of politics. Reducing the influence of money in politics is a top-priority issue for Americans across party lines, and national polling finds roughly 8 in 10 voters see big money in politics as a threat to democracy.
Draw fair voting districts. A national survey of over 30,000 voters found that 82% of Americans — including 71% of Republicans in Republican-controlled states and 88% of Democrats in Democratic-controlled states — prefer independent, nonpartisan commissions to draw congressional districts.
Reduce corruption in government. A nonpartisan University of Maryland survey found 86% of Americans support banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office.
Working with a sense of urgency
The upcoming mid-term election on November 3 is a huge opportunity to change our political direction. But the work will be far from done on November 3. We are building a strong and resilient organization — one that is necessary to work for years to elect reform-minded candidates who support the necessary actions to strengthen democracy and repair the damage created over the past years.
