Our political system
is broken and corrupt
The result? Gridlock, polarization and an ineffective government that is unresponsive to the people it is mandated to serve.
Watch Jennifer Lawrence explain the root cause of dysfunction in our politics, learn about our solution and join the movement to fix the system.
The Plan to Save America
-
Change the rules
Three policies to unlock better government
To fix the system, we pass laws in three key policy areas that will change the rules:
- Strong campaign finance, ethics and lobbying laws
- Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and Top 4/5 Primaries
- Independent Redistricting Commissions to end partisan gerrymandering
-
Bypass Congress
Congress won’t fix our broken system
So we go around Congress and instead pass laws city by city, state by state. History has shown us that winning at the local level leads to national change so much faster than you think.
And our strategy is working. To date, we’ve scored 182 victories in cities and states all across America.
-
Country Over Party
We need everyone’s help to fix our country
As the nation’s largest nonpartisan anti-corruption organization, we bring together progressives, conservatives and everyone in between.
We’re winning in red states and blue states, inspiring, energizing, activating and empowering people to fight corruption and fix America.
Join the movement
2024 will be a crucial year for American democracy and we need everyone to get involved if we are going to fix our broken political system. Can we count on you?
