Our political system
is broken and corrupt
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
-
Build a Movement
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.
-
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 185 victories in cities and states all across 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
End Citizens United
The Citizens United ruling overturned long-standing restrictions on political fundraising and spending – transforming the entire political landscape of the country.
We need to overturn it right now so voters, not special interest groups, determine American elections. Will you send a message to Congress?
