We believe that military veterans can play an out-sized role as leaders and organizers in this movement to enact structural reforms and restore American’s faith in their Democratic Republic.

Volunteer Testimonials

"I believe that for America to achieve its true potential, we must eliminate the two-party system. It is obstructionist, inefficient, and fails to govern effectively. I just got off a call with Eric Connor, and we seem aligned on our vision. I truly believe that a multi-party system could unlock a new American Renaissance and help spread liberal Western values throughout the world. Open primaries and ranked-choice voting are critical to setting the conditions for this to occur."

"Following the presidential election of 2020, the idea crystallized in my mind that America's problem isn't the result of individual leaders or individual actions, but rather it's the product of a massive, self-serving system in which the two parties serve as competitors AND referees. Whichever path we choose in the days to come – embracing partisanship or promoting civil discourse – the work will be hard. Given the choice, I choose the version of hard that unites people instead of dividing them. I choose to fight for people instead of fighting with them."
