We’re a nonprofit set up to catalyze widespread public pressure & civic engagement to move the US toward a healthier democracy & away from far-right extremism. We reach & energize Americans & counter apathy by 1) building connection; 2) doing more with community & coalitions; 3) pressuring businesses; 4) empowering vision, values, & moral courage; 5) driving the narrative at every level, creating a buzz in local chatter networks, & sharing it all around. We can empower people to make change where they live & inspire them to vote in overwhelming majorities in elections to overcome structures that protect minority party power. Together we can grow a coalition of Democrats, independents, & ex-Republicans that leverages the power of the US majority to get government to do real problem-solving; & to better serve this multi-racial, multi-ethnic democracy so we all have the opportunity to survive, thrive, and flourish.
