Defend Democracy
we have failed to educate our nation in civics.
as such, we are vulnerable to partisan attacks on the foundations of our democracy.
we must defend our constitutional rights from threats on both sides of the political divide.

• end corruption •
this is one area that we have already defined as a clear threat to democracy.
big money is suffocating our political system.
legalized bribery effectively disenfranchises us.
we need a political system that cannot be bought;
A system that is accountable to all americans, not just the wealthiest of us.

• civics 101 •
we are dedicated to ongoing civics education.
meetings will feature at least one civics lesson or discussion.
we will discuss current threats, find consensus, and advocate for change.

• voting without fear •
most americans no longer vote for candidates they truly believe are the best for this country.
we vote for "the lesser of two evils" to stop the candidate who we think is worse.
But this cynical reality is not inevitable, and the two-party vice-grip on our democracy can be broken.
ranked choice voting is one of the simple, bold, transformative changes that could break us out of the two-party system and help to revitalize american democracy.
