We the People Initiative

We the People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working on the fiscal condition of the United States. We develop and support independent initiatives that address the federal debt, the long-term solvency of Social Security, and the structural reforms required to put the federal budget on a sustainable path.

We are nonpartisan. We do not endorse candidates, contribute to campaigns, or take positions on issues outside our fiscal mandate.
