Project 2029 — What We Stand For
Most Americans already agree with our vision once they hear it. But, concentrated money, media, and power will fight to preserve the status quo. That’s why Project 2029 exists.
We are the underdog — and we choose people over billionaire capture, transparency over secrecy, and persistence over intimidation. The stakes are too high to do anything else.
Our policies address universal material needs: affordability, fairness, and accountable government. Our north star is independence powered by people: we stay transparent, build a broad base of everyday supporters, and focus on policy that improves real lives.
Voting and participation. We make it easier for regular people to vote and harder for confusion to win. We partner with credible civic groups, elevate clear, practical information, and prioritize communities where small administrative changes make a big difference. We don’t duplicate the voter-protection ecosystem — we strengthen it and mobilize neighbors to help neighbors with clear, sound policy ideas.
Platforms and reach. We won’t bet our mission on any one platform. We’ll invest in channels we control — email, SMS, our website — and publish in reusable formats. Around that core, we’ll cultivate a network of trusted messengers across communities who share our values and speak in their own voice. When it advances understanding, we’ll show up in good-faith forums across the spectrum — leading with respect and plain language.
Trusted messengers. From niche audiences to viral creators, we’ll give partners clarity and good content, listen to what resonates, and choose appearances where hosts act in good faith.
Funding with guardrails. We’ll build a durable small-dollar foundation and keep hard lines: contributions don’t buy access, vetoes, or governance rights. We’ll publish a straightforward giving policy and use funds to strengthen capacity — consistent content, organizing infrastructure, and legal + communications readiness.
Media relationships. We’ll be a reliable, factual resource for local and national outlets and elevate community voices who can speak to real-world impacts. We’re not chasing cycles; we’re earning trust over time — with data, stories, and clear explanations.
Misinformation. We’ll favor pre-emption and transparency over whack-a-mole. When falsehoods target our work, we’ll acknowledge quickly, respond with evidence, and move on — without feeding the outrage machine.
Policy wins. We’ll start where we can win and show results — backing concrete, replicable policies that improve daily life and model good governance. We’ll work with allied partners in a growing network of citizen resistance and practice public accountability so communities can adopt what works.
Plain English. We translate policy into clear, repeatable lines and deliver them where people actually are. Leaders who speak like neighbors and organize around everyday realities win where conventional wisdom says they can’t. That’s our model.
This is an act of citizenship. We name voter suppression, captured courts, information warfare, and concentrated wealth — and answer with organizing, sunlight, and law. We will stay authentic, visible, and independent, no matter what.
We keep our word — even when the future is unpredictable.
