Local Chapter
Elkhart
The founders intended for power to reside here — in the municipalities of Elkhart, not in distant capitals. This is where the work happens.
Our Mission in Elkhart
We believe that the most effective governance happens closest to the people. The Elkhart chapter works to ensure every resident has direct access to their municipal government, meaningful agency over their future, and the ability to hold all power — public, corporate, and algorithmic — accountable.
Strategic Priorities
