Let's break through the noise, together, & #OpenTheDebates!

Exclusionary political debates are one of the most insidious drivers of our disastrous political context. That is why Open the Debates is on a mission to open up, elevate, and innovate the political debates of our nation by the 250th anniversary of the republic's founding in 2026.

76% of US voters are with us, compared to just 17% who prefer closed debates. We just have to get organized.

In order to ensure free and fair elections, US voters must have the ability to hear from ALL ballot-qualified candidates. A well-informed electorate is the bedrock for healthy self-government. Anyone standing in the way is an illegitimate gatekeeper that must be challenged.

For 32 years, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), an official-sounding private entity running the televised presidential debates, has been rigging the presidential debate process. This year's debate failures are the logical conclusion of their anti-democratic control of the political conversation.

The good news is that the CPD is losing control of the story. This is our opening to inject our voices into the dominant political narrative.

Your donation today will do three things:

1. It will let U.S. voters (who overwhelmingly want open debates) know they have more than just 2 choices.
2. It will advance powerful alternative debates that truly serve the American electorate and can help make the CPD obsolete.
3. It will continue to put Open the Debates on the map in this election & for the long haul, ensuring we can have the political debates & political system we deserve by 2026.

Every dollar you give will be an investment in opening up our political system to more voices and better choices.
