National movement announces initiative to connect independent leaders, governance reformers, and nonpartisan organizations in a unified push for systemic change
Boulder, CO., July, 2025 — In a time of increasing political division and widespread public distrust in government, United Independents has announced a strategic coalition campaign aimed at unifying the fragmented world of independent political and governance reform movements. With the goal of creating greater alignment and momentum across the sector, the national organization is launching a series of tools, programs, and convenings to amplify voices, build shared strategy, and restore power to the people.
A Platform for Post-Partisan Power
United Independents is known for building one of the most cohesive and forward-thinking infrastructures in the independent political space. Its latest initiative builds on this legacy by addressing one of the movement’s most persistent challenges: fragmentation.
“There are incredible leaders and organizations doing essential work, but too often they’re siloed and disconnected,” said Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents. “This coalition campaign is about coherence, clarity, and connection. If we want to create a post-partisan future, we have to build it together.”
United Independents envisions a government that works for everyone, not just for parties, corporations, or entrenched interests. This campaign brings that vision to life by providing infrastructure for shared messaging, cross-sector collaboration, and large-scale civic engagement.
What the Coalition Includes
The campaign includes three signature components designed to support and unify independent reformers across the country:
The Civic Synergy Series — bi-monthly digital roundtables that bring together reform-minded leaders, political entrepreneurs, and democratic innovators to collaborate on strategy, messaging, and joint campaigns.
The Post-Partisan Playbook — A comprehensive toolkit that includes tested messaging frameworks, shared values language, and branding resources to help partners speak with one unified voice while staying true to their independent principles.
Movement Mapping — A public, open-source directory of aligned organizations, leaders, and reform efforts designed to increase visibility and foster collaborative action.
Together, these tools will help connect thousands of independent actors into a coherent, modern, and values-driven movement.
Why Now
The timing for this coalition is critical. According to Pew Research, over 40 percent of American voters now identify as politically independent. A growing number of citizens, particularly younger generations, are rejecting the traditional party binary and demanding new leadership that prioritizes transparency, innovation, and accountability.
“This isn’t about being moderate or centrist,” said Jennifer, President and Director of Operations. “This is about building a new center of gravity in American politics—one that is bold, principled, and rooted in integrity. People are hungry for something different. We’re here to offer it.”
United Independents is extending partnership invitations to think tanks, independent candidates, grassroots civic groups, philanthropic reformers, and other institutions committed to renewing democracy. The organization is particularly focused on partnerships that elevate civic education, drive systemic change, and invite citizens back into meaningful engagement with how government works.
Building a Movement That Lasts
This coalition campaign complements other major initiatives from United Independents, including the Independent National Convention, a large-scale public event showcasing nonpartisan leadership and reform, and Our House ’26, a national campaign to elect independent candidates to Congress. Together, these programs form a comprehensive strategy to rebuild trust in governance and empower people-first leadership.
“Our long-term goal is not just to disrupt the status quo but to replace it with something that works,” said Life. “We are not trying to reform the broken system from within—we are working to build the next one. And we are not doing it alone.”
Join the Coalition
Reform does not happen in isolation. United Independents invites aligned leaders, reform-focused organizations, and everyday citizens to join the movement, access coalition resources, and help build a future beyond partisan dysfunction.
