We have to build a new democratic and political settlement that answers people’s hopes and fears. This is the focus of the work of Compass.

And it’s not the work of days and weeks, it’s the work of years and decades. It’s the work of changing our political culture and identifying cracks through which we can leverage change.

That’s why I’m asking you to invite 5 friends to join Compass.

I’m asking because we need to build our community, build that small but powerful group that is willing to look hard and deep at the problems we face.

I’m asking because yes, of course we need your money. It will help us continue to build the campaigns, thinking and institutions that will turn the tide.

But more than money, I’m asking you because we need more like minded friends to journey with.
