We work to strengthen our democracy to make sure the government represents our interests.
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.
How we're fighting
We use our expertise to research and craft policies that serve the interests of the public, not entrenched power. Then we get that information into the hands of people who can make a difference.
