For far too long, structural barriers have prevented diverse candidates from entering the arena and kept them from winning. As a result, women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community are drastically underrepresented in government at the local, state, and federal level. We plan to change that. More Like America fills a gap in the progressive infrastructure between organizations that recruit and train diverse candidates and progressive PACs that fund candidates only after they have reached viability. By investing in diverse candidates at the earliest stage of their campaigns—and every tough point thereafter—we’re making a down payment on progress, enabling our candidates to make critical hires, acquire essential technologies, and communicate with voters. In so doing, we’re expanding the pipeline to elected office, cultivating leaders that look and think more like the diverse constituents they represent.
