Quick Facts Formation, Founder ...

Each year it sponsors "Rebellion" walks to commemorate Granny D, who at the age of 88-90 walked across the United States, ending in Washington, DC, where she was arrested for reading the Declaration of Independence in the Capitol.[4][5]

In 2017, it is providing back-office support for EqualVotesUS, an organization that intends to fight the electoral college presidential voting method in the courts.[6] The specific goal is to eliminate the "winner take all" system for electoral college votes within a state.[7]
