Our Focus Areas
Democracy and Liberty
Whether it’s pushing to strengthen our transparency laws, end secret laws put into place by the executive branch, or ensure Congress has the ability to resist the pull of special interests, we are leading the charge on making sure our democracy is strong.
Corporate Power
Corporations have used their wealth to capture regulatory agencies, evade responsibilities to employees and our society, and undermine our freedoms. We work to take back power for the people by challenging corporations, breaking up monopolies, and pushing the government to reassert its obligation to regulate the private sector in the public interest.
Foreign Policy
The public is tired of endless wars. Our domestic policies of police militarization, institutionalized racism, and Islamophobia are inextricably linked to a militarized foreign policy. Our work includes working to end U.S. involvement in conflicts and centering the role of human rights in foreign policy.
