What Principles First for America Ltd does
Mission
We are a nationwide grassroots movement of people who share a love of american democracy and concern for the direction of our existing leadership. We've watched as institutions on the right have been co-opted by bad-faith actors willing to put politics and personality over principle. And we've seen those in positions of leadership compromise themselves out of cynical self-interest. We believe good-faith americans deserve something better. We're building an alternative that elevates principled leaders around the country to speak out as a voice of clarity.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
