Strategic Advisors

Listening to smart people with diverse perspectives

 

A More Perfect Union is committed to pursuing our work in a spirit of transpartisanship predicated on two notions: First, that protecting and strengthening American democracy is not a partisan issue, and we must resist efforts to characterize it as such. Second, that it will take many people with different expertise and experiences — working creatively, compassionately, and together — for us to be successful.

This commitment is embodied in our Strategic Advisory, a group of leaders in the democracy, civic-engagement, Jewish, and faith and democracy fields, designed both to advise our efforts and to strengthen connectivity and idea-sharing across these communities.
