Pragmatic, human-centered, data-driven solutions.

California is a large, vibrant, and diverse state, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead of prescribing rigid, ideological policy mandates from the top down, 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

Such an ambitious undertaking will take time, and we're excited to continue adding robust policy recommendations to our platform. Our immediate focus is on changing the game itself:

• Forward Candidates
  More than 62% of state positions go uncontested. It's time to challenge the status quo.
  
  
• Electoral Reform
  We're all tired of choosing the lesser evil. It’s past time to upgrade our electoral system to one that provides more choice and more accurate representation.
  
  
• Campaign Finance Reform
  Big money interests dominate our elections and give incumbents unfair advantage. Here's how we can equalize access to the political arena.
  
  
• Housing
  High costs and red tape keep too many Californians from finding a home. It’s time to build smarter and make housing work for everyone.
