Our Common Purpose
We opened a landing pad for Our Common Purpose from public work, not a mission paraphrase.
Our Common Purpose publishes citable work we could quote (Publication on Expanding Representation in Congress Issued). This briefing is a hypothesis built from those sources. Tell us if we misread the research, add papers we missed, and weigh in on Desirable Properties tied to that work.
If you represent Our Common Purpose, confirm the source URLs, then open the Desirable Properties tab and leave a patch idea where the property text misses what your public work already argues.
Research and policy only change the rule-set when it is linked to original sources. Help us keep this pad tied to your papers and reports, not a press-release summary.
Public packet only. Hypothesis marks stay until you confirm sources. Each Alliance member gets a different pitch so we can experiment. Your pad is https://desirableproperties.org/pad/amacad (hyphens optional). Direct link to this tab: https://desirableproperties.org/pad/amacad?tab=values
Stated mission
The new report is part of the cross-ideological, multi-year Our Common Purpose project to strengthen American constitutional democracy.

“This report is rooted in optimism about what is possible for American democracy,” said Laurie L.
