Pragmatic, human-centered, data-driven solutions.
California is a large, vibrant, and diverse state, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. We're building a platform that is:
- Flexible and nuanced for communities to adapt to their own values and circumstances
- Collaboratively built from cutting-edge data and research
- Includes proven policies with demonstrated impact where they have been adopted
This is an ambitious task and will take time, but we're excited to continue adding robust policy recommendations to our platform.
-
Forward Candidates
More than 62% of state positions go uncontested, leaving politicians unaccountable. We must challenge the status quo.
-
Democratic Reform
We're all tired of choosing the lesser evil. We can build a thriving multiparty democracy that solves its problems through the collaborative, iterative participation of all voters.
-
Campaign Finance Reform
Big money interests dominate our elections and give incumbents a lopsided advantage. Here's how we can balance the playing field.
-
Housing
Local zoning and red tape make affordable housing incredibly difficult to build. Our housing crisis is a central problem that has clear, if not easy, solutions.
-
Homelessness
Homelessness is a terrible consequence of poor housing and economic policy. There are proven methods to alleviate the problem, as well as prevent it in the first place.
-
Environment
Climate change is reshaping life in California, from wildfires to flooding. We need locally-informed solutions that hold polluters accountable and build resilience through better land use and planning.
