Our approach

Many groups work on issues like housing, schools, climate, and the economy. We work on improving the rules for making state laws and amending the California Constitution, so that important issue reforms finally become possible.

What We Do

  • Inspire & educate

    Help the public and state leaders believe that good government is possible.

  • Convene & discuss

    Create inclusive spaces for Californians to deliberate on reform options and come up with their own ideas.

  • Seed a movement

    Grow a broad, representative ecosystem pushing for structural change.

Let’s start with the basics.

  • Fewer, higher quality ballot initiatives

  • Balanced rules for amending existing law

  • Space for fair, thoughtful deliberation

  • Accountable, empowered elected leaders

We envision a state government that is representative, respectful, and responsive to its people and ecosystems – current and future.

Because good government can offer opportunity to all: not only to meet basic needs, but also to find joy and fulfillment.
