Stand Up America is a progressive, digital-first advocacy organization with two million grassroots members who are working to stand up to corruption and build a more representative democracy.

- Racist barriers to the ballot are torn down and voting rights are expanded to ensure that voting is accessible, secure, and treated as the sacred right that it is.
- Americans from all walks of life can run for office and win based on the power of their ideas, voice, and experiencenot on how much money they can raise from themselves or wealthy donors.
- Our government is responsive to the will of the American peopleand will finally take bold action on the pressing issues facing our nation, from gun violence and climate change to immigration reform and racial & economic justice.
