The Transpartisan Alliance is an informal network of networks facilitating cooperation among individuals and organizations from all political points of view. Its mission is to empower a unified political voice capable of restoring a healthy balance of power between government, corporations and the American people. It is founded in values and principles agreed to by all Americans — unity, equality, liberty, dignity and self governance.

The Transpartisan Alliance will serve as the convener of the annual (winter/spring) transpartisan American Citizens’ Summit.  The annual American Citizens’ Summit is a four day Transpartisan National Convention that applies tools of dialogue, deliberation and conflict resolution to facilitating strategic alignment among individuals and groups from across the political spectrum. The members of the convention are fully empowered to determine the issues on which to engage.  The responsibility of the Transpartisan Alliance is simply to create a safe, welcoming, sincerely neutral space for authentic dialogue.

This year we can accommodate up to 1500 Delegates allocated as follows:

– 200 Leadership Delegates: leaders of membership organizations, political opinion leaders, civic engagement/empowerment leaders, authors and experts on political empowerment. Register here — accepted on a first come first served basis.
