We believe every voter, including registered independents and unaffiliated voters, should have access to all elections, have real choices on the ballot that reflect their values, and feel represented by their elected officials. All too often, our political system does just the opposite in service of itself, incumbent power, and special interests. While we believe in structural election reforms as a solution, equally important is our role as an emerging civic organization to cultivate conversations, informed and engaged citizens, and to role model patriotism and civic engagement in an otherwise frought time in our country.
