OVERVIEW

AMERICANS FOR CAMPAIGN REFORM

Building the Movement for Reform Americans for Campaign Reform (ACR) is a national non-partisan organization committed to strengthening American democracy through publicly funded elections. Led by a bipartisan team of former U.S. Senators, ACR engages its 30,000 members online and on the ground around a new, small-donor approach to funding federal campaigns called “Fair Elections”. Working with Senator Dick Durbin, Congressman John Larson, and nearly 100 bipartisan co-sponsors, ACR is raising awareness on Fair Elections in the 111th Congress. More than forty national organizations and dozens of former Members of Congress have joined the movement for reform.
