Good Party
Our democracy has been corrupted by a two-party system that serves moneyed interests. It leaves people apathetic, or having to choose between the lesser of two evils. Neither of which truly serve them. So, important issues continue to go unaddressed. Good Party is not a political party. We’re building tools to change the rules and disrupt the corrupt, creating a brighter future for all! Our plan is to use the free, open-source tech we create as a lever that marshals the creative community and mobilizes digital natives – who will be the majority of voters by 2024 – to vote differently.
