Government is where laws are made. But campaigns are where movements begin.
WHEN YOU RUN, RUN ON POWER.
what’s possible… always begins with what’s talked about.
We equip next-gen candidates for state and local office with the policy, platform, and messaging tools to expose and challenge unchecked corporate power in their communities — before a single ballot is cast.
Our mission isn’t to elect certain individuals or guarantee legislative wins. It’s to steadily shift the window of political possibility — and with it, the realm of potential economic and democratic futures — one campaign and election cycle at a time.
unchecked corporate power is the central issue of our time.
More central than climate change, more than faltering democracy, more than deep and growing inequality. More central than affordability, housing, and healthcare.
Don’t believe us?
Imagine solving those problems we just listed. Now imagine solving them without first, or at least simultaneously, addressing the power corporations exert over markets, politics, governance, and culture.
it’s not that corporate power matters more.
it’s that not waging this fight makes it nearly impossible to effectively wage any other.
running for STATE OR LOCAL office?
run on power .
Your campaign is likely to be your first and bravest conversation with the public.
It’s your chance — win or lose — to start a conversation that will inform everything that comes after.
To shift what’s possible, you first have to shift what’s talked about.
We work with future school board members, city councilpersons, utility commissioners, district attorneys, state attorneys general, and state legislators (and nearly any other office you come to us with!) to model platforms built on and designed to counter power.
