I can’t be the only one... watching the news lately has made me sick. Not only have we witnessed a violent attack on our democracy, we are seeing everyday people lose vision and hope.
This is not the first time our country has faced this kind of challenge and I’m sure it won’t be the last, but trust us – this moment is different.
Polls show that voters have never been so divided; hardcore political activists are opting out on the issues they care about the most and our institutions are slipping out-of-step with majority opinion. To put it simply, American democracy has seen better days. That’s why the New Politics mission is so critical right now.
Right now there are two paths forward:
- Sit back and let extremist politicians continue to direct the trajectory of our country by putting party over people, or
- Honor our history by allowing it to inspire us to action, knowing that even when our country has been at war with itself, there is still a fundamental thread that brings us together – trust and belief in the people we elect into power.
Team, I know it might not always feel like it, especially lately, but our voices and actions matter. New Politics does not take empty actions and we will never sit back; we are moving every day to find and support the servant leaders who are ready to help our communities unite.
Now we have less than 72 hours to reach our internal budgeting goal that will allow us to activate our tools and resources for down ballot candidates in places where servant leaders are needed most. Can we count on you to help make it happen? Here’s a personalized link, just for you:

We cannot give up hope – it’s time to do the work, and we only have a few more months until voters across the nation head to the polls and determine our shared future.
We hope you’re with us,
Alberto

Director of Talent Development
We support outstanding military veterans and national service leaders, alumni of programs like AmeriCorps and the Peace Corps, to step up and serve our country again, this time through politics. We were proud to be behind the movement of veterans who ran for office for the first time in 2018, and we have big plans to grow into the future.
