    seems like a good thread to plug https://represent.us

    they describe themselves as

    RepresentUs is America’s leading nonpartisan anti-corruption organization fighting to fix our broken and ineffective government. We unite people across the political spectrum to pass laws that hold corrupt politicians accountable, defeat special interests, and force the government to meet the needs of the American people.

    here’s their policy platform https://represent.us/policy-platform/

    here are their ongoing campaigns presented state by state https://represent.us/2024-campaigns/
