Momentum building for the anti-corruption movement. This is our primary focus and goal as an organization. We use tried and true grassroots tactics to educate the public on this issue and build a cross partisan network of anti-corruption voters who will push elected officials to pass common sense anti corruption and #FairElection legislation. Combining the power of voters is the only way to pass meaningful legislation. |
