Exposing problems.
We investigate corruption, injustice, and abuse of power in our government, exposing systemic problems that endanger our democracy.
Developing solutions.
We craft commonsense policy reforms to tackle systemic corruption and abuse of power, protect constitutional rights, and ensure the government works for all people.
Advocating for change.
We push policymakers to enact reforms that will strengthen public trust in government. We take our policy proposals straight to those in power, and we empower our supporters to lobby their members of Congress for change.
Building a healthy democracy.
