Principles First is a grassroots organization committed to rediscovering and championing principles in the 21st century.

We are citizens from across the country, united by a shared commitment to a set of fundamental beliefs and disillusioned with the current state of our politics. We resolve to speak out, discuss bold ideas, and take action.

We are also an entirely self-funded, volunteer organization – no one draws a paycheck or a profit off of our efforts. We think the profit motive is a fine tool for most things, but not for creating a principled politics. We want you to join our cause and help end the grift of those who bend their message to paying audiences. Your donation will help us host more gatherings, shape the public discourse, and reach more people.

Among our ranks, we count a wide range of ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. This movement is for anyone who believes in a more principled politics driven by ideas instead of personalities.

Our organization formally promotes the principles laid out in our Declaration of Principles, which was drafted after three months of grassroots working sessions with our members across the country.

We are a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organization, EIN 84-3733436. Contributions to Principles First are not tax deductible.
