Thank You To Our Newest Lever Leaders:

Lever Leaders provide us with our highest level of support and score additional perks in return. We highlight folks who’ve taken that step, and the reasons they say they’ve done so:

• Jonathan Brosnan Williams: “I became a Lever Leader because The Lever does great work that I want to support, and I've been a fan of David Sirota for many years.”
• Donald Missey: “Leverage should level the field when it comes to dealing with the poorly documented role of lobbyists in perverting democracy.”
