When more than 75% of people think the country is in a crisis, THAT alone is a crisis.

The need for change is real.

We are not seeking to build merely a new party. We are building a new system.

One of many parties and many voices.

Focused on representing all voters and on solving problems in our communities.

People, not politics.

Labels frequently are divisive, but there is one that should unite us: “American.”

At the end of the day, we are all in this together. It’s helpful to pause sometimes and remember that.

These leaders--27 of them from 10 states--represent the growing movement of Americans who want pragmatic, solutions-driven politicians instead of divisive politics.

And, yes, there are more to come.
