CANCEL SUPERPACS VIDEO COMPETITION
We launched a video competition with a $50,000 prize. Entrants will explain why, contrary to conventional wisdom, SuperPACs can be regulated.
We believe that every single issue we care about — from climate change to gun safety, from health care to military spending — cannot be fixed until we FIX DEMOCRACY FIRST
Equal Citizens — a nonprofit founded by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig — is dedicated to reforms that will achieve citizen equality. Through a series of projects that aim to restore the core promise of citizen equality in our Constitution, we will end the corruption of our representative democracy.
