Movement first. Ballot access second.
Electoral success depends on building durable grassroots support before entering large-scale national contests. We will prioritize movement-building and infrastructure — chapters, volunteers, organizers, legal and compliance teams, and local candidates — before pursuing full presidential ballot access.

Two paths to qualification
California recognizes two methods to qualify as a political party. The roadmap builds the membership and volunteer base needed to pursue them.
Registration method
Obtain voter registrations equal to 0.33% of registered California voters — roughly 75,000 to 80,000+ registrations.
Petition method
Obtain signatures equal to 10% of votes cast in the previous gubernatorial election — currently about 1,114,662 signatures.
Build it from the ground up.
Every chapter, every volunteer, every local candidate brings the movement closer. Add your name and help lay the foundation.
