Hi John --

When I first came to Open Primaries, I was shocked to find that the political reform movement wasn't going to court. Litigation has been a key component of every change movement in American history.

We set out to change that. We developed new legal analysis. We built relationships with attorneys across the country. And we launched a new first-of-its-kind litigation platform.

This year we filed voting rights litigation in Maryland and are supporting cases in states from Pennsylvania to Oregon. We also broke new ground in federal court, establishing the right of independent voters to challenge their exclusion from voting. Our brief to the US Supreme Court laid out the fundamental questions raised by the rise of independent voters and access to primary elections that we believe American courts (and the public at large) must grapple with. Hundreds of news outlets have covered these cases in just the last few months. 

I believe deeply in this work. Please take a moment to learn why by watching my recent interview on CNN.

From passing open primaries through the New Mexico legislature earlier this year to winning a major constitutional challenge in court for a 2026-bound ballot campaign in Oklahoma, we are on a roll!  And we’re building more campaigns across the country as we recruit thousands of independent voters to spearhead change in their own states.  

But we really need your help. As you may have seen, we are currently in the midst of our end of year fundraising campaign.

Open Primaries is the only national organization supporting a broad-based agenda to give independent voters equal rights, fix our primary elections, and put our political future back in the hands of regular voters.

Please give today.

Thank you for all your support,

Jeremy Gruber, JD
