We Are Building a Party that Works for US

Our vision is a major new progressive populist party that will deliver what regular people take for granted in so many other countries: single-payer health care, free public college, money out of politics, an infrastructure jobs program, a $15 minimum wage, financial regulations, and more.

We need actual representation in our government. A majority of people in the US don’t feel represented by either the Democratic or Republican parties. We’ve watched these parties turn their backs on us to answer every call of the billionaires and donors. Overwhelming numbers of Americans understand these parties cannot be salvaged. Polls show that almost two out of three Americans are now calling for a major new party. It’s time to build the party we’re looking for — one that brings us all together.

The Democrats’ fecklessness through the years has been as much of a problem in bringing about the Supreme Court’s increasingly right-wing extremist nature as the Republicans’ ideological intoxication.

The People’s Convention was a huge success. Now we’re coming for the debates!
