United by civic purpose across the political spectrum
We are politically diverse Americans who share a deep concern about our country. We aim to make it easy for those who share our concern to take actions that help fix both current problems and the systemic flaws that underlie them.
Our Mission
To unite and empower Americans across the political landscape to defend and strengthen democracy, the rule of law, and constitutional freedoms — by connecting news and issues to collaborative action and civic engagement.
What We Stand For
Cross-Partisan
We surface factual, bias-labeled sources from across the political spectrum.
Action-Oriented
Every story comes with concrete steps you can take to help our country and the nonprofit groups defending our democratic and constitutional principles.
Generationally Diverse
From high school students to seasoned professionals, our team brings every generation to the table.
Transparent
We believe an informed public requires honesty about where information comes from and what biases it carries.
The Team
The people behind the mission.
Our team of award-winning founders and civic leaders spans political affiliations, professional backgrounds, and generations — because experience and diversity are what our mission requires.
