What is the Bus Project?
The Bus is an innovative vehicle for hands-on democracy.
We drive votes.
We drive leaders.
We drive change.
(And yes, we have a bus.)
We’re not mass transit, but we’re in favor of that sort of thing. We’re about people-powered politics. We’re building a movement. Not left, not right, but forward.
