Money corrupts decision making. Instead of decisions being made in the best interest of the people, money tends to make decisions that favor donors. Limits on financing, transparency, effective enforcement and public financing will bring moderation to politics.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Nicholas Klein (1884–1951), American Labor Union Advocate
Learn MoreTogether we can create change.
A well organized group of people, acting peacefully, is necessary to enact change when monied interests would prefer that change does not occur. Together we can create the change that we expect out of our institutions but so often feel is out of reach.
Our current areas of concentration:
-
Money Out of Politics
-
Voting Reform
The more Americans who vote the better our democracy reflects us. Standardizing rules governing voting and certification by nonpartisan officials will create fair and consistent elections. Some states seek to undermine elections through gerrymandering, money in politics and creating conditions where legitimate election results are sabotaged for partisan purposes.

Integrity in Journalism
Journalism's first obligation is to verifiable truth rather than prejudice and supposition. Publishers of journalism must have their loyalty to the citizenry first, putting the public interest above self-interest. While journalists may be partial or biased they also must be independent and accurate. They must be an independent monitor of power to guard against tyranny. They must fairly represent varied viewpoints and interests in society and to place them in context rather than highlight only the conflicting fringes of debate.

Our Climate
Through observation and documentation we know that the long-term temperature of our planet is increasing due to human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels. It is our obligation to prevent catastrophe.
We can organize efficiently and effectively.
