United Republic is a new nonprofit organization escalating the fight against the corrupting influence of special interests using money to control politics and manipulate the priorities of our government. We partner with citizens of all stripes -- progressive, conservative and independent -- who envision a nation where the needs and ideas of the many aren't drowned out by the influence of the wealthy few.
