IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The centerpiece of Represent.Us work is the American Anti-Corruption Act (the Act). The Act is a piece of model legislation that overhauls ethics, transparency, and enforcement laws, and provide small dollar citizen funding to political candidates. Represent.Us volunteers pass acts via the ballot initiative process. These Acts are customized to the unique needs of each locale. Represent.Us supports chapters and grassroots volunteers as they work to implement lasting change in their own communities.

The grassroots program recruited and collaborated with more than 5,000 volunteers located all across the country and established an additional 15 volunteer-led chapters to pass and protect local laws, execute direct action, and establish the lasting infrastructure required of a politically potent movement.
