Your Town Square

Join Our BigTent

The work is going to be long and hard, but if we don't start it now, it's going to be that much more difficult two, three, four, five years from now... It took us a long time to get here, it's going to take us a long time to get out. That doesn't mean we should wait...there's a lot of work that can and should be done.

Reed Galen

President, The Union

In this pro-democracy circuit... Yes, call your member of Congress. Yes, write letters to the editor. Engage in social media. Go to these protests - by the way, I think the protests are very important because as protests continue to grow, it sends a strong message... Get back to demanding Town Halls - we need to get back to Town Halls from members of Congress and the Senate.

Founder, Country First

Community Accolades

See what our members are saying and learn how to take action today!

"I feel like you guys have tapped into what we are all feeling, we want to help but don't really know where to start. I particularly like that everyone seems comfortable asking questions and it is reassuring to find that our questions are so similar. The fact that it isn't super "polished" and you all are very honest about what you know and don't know makes it less intimidating. I also like that you have actionable things like the letter writing and phone banking."
