We're a new, all-volunteer digital initiative working to fight toxic political polarization through electoral reform advocacy, community-driven media, and free resources to empower civic engagement.
COVID-19, police brutality, mass shootings — we are literally killing ourselves by allowing historic hyper-partisanship to compromise our ability to respond to deadly threats to our communities. It’s time we recognize each other not as political opponents, but as fellow Americans. It’s time to put #EmpathyFirst.
We support four basic proposals to reform our electoral systems: balancing our courts, establishing independent redistricting commissions, opening primaries, and implementing ranked choice voting. We boost and support organizations that advocate for these policies, and promote them through our work wherever possible.
We believe mission-based organizations should, when possible, be run by the same people they serve. That's why our blog and podcast are both community-driven, and always will be. If you're interested in joining us for a podcast, writing, or have any other suggestions, please let us know!
In addition to our advocacy and content production, we maintain a curated resource library intended to make civic engagement as easy as possible. We create and share our own guides, and maintain a living, searchable directory of other organizations and resources in the field. It's our hope that no matter where you are in your own political journey, these resources can help you on your way.
