We are fighting to fix our broken campaign finance system by empowering small donors with public matching funds to combat big money in American politics. Influence-seeking, wealthy interests leave ordinary Americans outside looking in at Washington’s rigged system.
We are working to ensure that democracy works for everyone by preventing voter suppression and discrimination, demanding fair redistricting, supporting election security reforms, and protecting individual constitutional rights by defeating efforts to call a constitutional convention.
As a leading watchdog organization, we challenge abuses of office by Executive Branch officials and Members of Congress; press for enforcement of anti-corruption, campaign, and ethics laws; and work to strengthen bribery laws and laws preventing misuse of public office for private gain.
