Shift the Country is set up to catalyze widespread public pressure & civic engagement to move the US toward a healthier democracy & away from far-right extremism.
We reach & energize Americans & counter apathy with a 5-part approach: 1) building connection; 2) doing more with community & coalitions; 3) pressuring businesses or partnering with them; 4) empowering vision, values, & moral courage; 5) driving the narrative, creating a buzz in local chatter networks, & sharing this all around.
We can empower people to make change where they live & inspire them to vote in overwhelming majorities in elections to overcome structures that protect minority party power. Together we can grow a coalition of Democrats, independents, & ex-Republicans that leverages the power of the US majority to get government to do real problem-solving & to better serve this multi-racial, multi-ethnic democracy so we all have the opportunity to survive, thrive, and flourish.
We're raising $100,000 in 2023 to help this new nonprofit galvanize as much activity as possible for initial impacts this year & to start building a groundswell of activity for making bigger shift happen nationwide in 2024. Your funding helps us grow & expand this work in a ton of ways.
THANK YOU.
