RepresentUs is America’s leading nonpartisan anti-corruption organization fighting to fix our broken and ineffective government. We unite people across the political spectrum to pass laws that hold corrupt politicians accountable, defeat special interests, and force the government to meet the needs of the American people.

How We Win

We are following a proven strategy. Throughout American history — from interracial marriage and women’s suffrage to marriage equality — issues gained momentum in the states before they won federally.

We have won 183 victories in cities and states across America since our founding 10 years ago. We’re building the movement for an effective and healthy government, and we’re just getting started.
