THE CORRUPTION IS REAL.
BUT WE WON’T STAND FOR IT.
A mafia-like network is trying to take over our government and political corruption is skyrocketing. But we know its playbook. That means we know how to break its grip.
This Is How Organized Crime Operates
It’s a common pattern in other countries
Mafia-like networks in government enrich themselves by:
- Rewarding insiders with favors, contracts and protection for playing along
- Intimidating anyone who stands up to them with smear campaigns, threats, and by weaponizing government
- Rigging the system so they can get away with all of it.
But Americans can agree on one thing: Government should answer to the people, not corrupt interests. And nobody should be above the law.
This Is How
We Take Our Power Back
-
What Works
The way to counter a mafia is to investigate its operations, hold those responsible for crimes or misconduct to account, and ensure it can’t keep operating.
For governments taken over by mafias, that means:
- Accountability: Credible investigations of corruption and abuse of power that can eventually lead to consequences.
- Reform: Closing the legal loopholes and fixing the structural problems that allowed the corruption to happen.
In the United States today, Congress is the key body that could both pursue investigations and make reform possible. And that’s who we’re targeting.

Who We Are
We’re the largest grassroots anti-corruption organization in the United States.
We fuse mass communications with grassroots energy, backed by a track record of 200 state and local wins on pro-accountability reforms over a decade.
We are rigorously non-partisan and deliberately engage people of all sorts of backgrounds and political viewpoints.
We fiercely stand up for our values: nobody should be above the law, and our government should be accountable to the people, not just the powerful.
