About

We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful state and local laws that fix our broken elections and stop political bribery. Our strategy is central to dismantling the root causes of inequities in our democracy, and ending political corruption, extremism and gridlock.

How We Win

A powerful movement of independents, progressives, and conservatives is building on America’s long tradition of pursuing federal reform through the states.

Since 2014, we have helped pass over 100 transformative anti-corruption laws, from anti-gerrymandering and ranked choice voting to sweeping ethics and transparency laws in cities and states across America. And we’re just getting started.
