Deliver on the People’s Promise
We launched The People’s Promise. It’s a nationwide call for a livable economy—one that works for everyday people, not just CEOs and campaign donors.
Money in Politics
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
Americans know that money has too much influence in our political system. That is why we advocate for money in politics solutions that empower small-dollar donors to make an impact in campaigns, require disclosure of all campaign money raised and spent, remove the financial barriers stopping everyday people from running for office, and hold elected officials and wealthy special interests accountable to voters.
Even with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC, states and cities across the country are proving that we can improve our campaign finance system with laws that amplify the voices of everyday Americans.
Take Action
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.

These reforms, if enacted into law, would help boost public confidence and trust in Wisconsin’s courts, and for other branches of state government as well, as we work to get candidates and their campaigns to connect with the voters instead of the big dollar donors.
