Our Fights
-
Standing Up to Corruption
The Problem
Our government has been hijacked by billionaires, and our broken campaign finance system prioritizes the ultra-rich over everyday Americans, making it extremely difficult to pass progressive legislation.
The Solution
To build a truly representative democracy, we need to end Citizens United, enact enforceable ethics rules, expand public financing for our elections at the local, state, and federal levels.
-
Defending the Freedom to Vote
The Problem
MAGA extremists are trying to overturn elections and create barriers to the ballot box, particularly for young Americans and voters of color.
The Solution
We must mobilize against voter suppression bills nationwide, elect democracy champions, and expand voting rights at the state and federal levels.
-
The Supreme Court Is Out Of Control
The Problem
Ethics scandals and attacks on our fundamental freedoms have eroded the American people’s trust in the Supreme Court. It’s time for Congress to fix the Court.
The Solution
Congress has the power to restore trust in our highest Court by implementing a code of ethics and enacting term limits.
-
Electing Democracy Champions
The Problem
MAGA extremists are trying to take control of local, state, and federal offices to restrict our freedoms, cast doubt on our elections, and govern on behalf of the wealthiest individuals and corporations.
The Solution
To build a truly representative democracy and make lasting progress on countless issues, we must elect democracy champions and defeat MAGA extremists at the local, state, and federal levels.
-
Banning Congress from Trading Stocks
The Problem
Members of Congress have access to sensitive information about our economy and national security. But right now, existing ethics laws don’t go far enough to prevent them from playing the stock market with that information.
The Solution
We need legislation that will ban members from buying and selling individual stocks and stop this unethical behavior once and for all.
-
Fixing the Electoral College with National Popular Vote
The Problem
Since 2000, 2 out of 4 U.S. presidents received fewer votes than their opponents and still won the White House. Why? Because the Electoral College gives the presidency to the candidate who receives the most electoral votes, not the candidate who receives the most votes overall.
The Solution
Every American deserves an equal voice and equal say in our democracy, no matter where they live. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would ensure the candidate who wins the most votes across the nation wins the presidency.
-
Restoring Voting Rights for Every American
The Problem
Nearly 4 million Americans, disproportionately people of color, are currently shut out of democracy due to felony convictions. Felony disenfranchisement laws are Jim Crow relics that have no place in our democracy.
The Solution
Across the country, there’s grassroots momentum building to restore voting rights to people with felony convictions. Until everyone has a vote, our democracy will not be truly representative. We’re working to make universal voting rights a reality—and we need you with us.

Making D.C. The 51st State
The Problem
With 700,000 residents, Washington D.C.’s population is comparable to Alaska and North Dakota, states that have 2 senators and a voting member in the House of Representatives. But D.C.’s predominantly Black and Brown population has no voting representation in Congress.
The Solution
Our government should represent its people. All of its people. The Washington, D.C. Admission Act admits the district as the 51st state.
