Founding
Founded in the wake of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, Country First stands as a clarion call to every American who believes our democracy is worth saving. Launched by former U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger, Country First is the nation’s leading pro-democracy movement—rallying citizens across the political spectrum to put country over party, principle over partisanship. Through bold public awareness campaigns and transformative civic education, we are mobilizing the Reasonable Majority to rise, reclaim their voice, and drive grassroots action that renews the very soul of our republic.
This is not just a moment. It is a movement—for our children, our country, and the future we dare to believe in.
Join us. Stand up. Speak out.
The fight for America’s democracy begins with you.
What We Stand For
We commit to putting the nation’s needs ahead of partisan divides and champion the well-being of all Americans over blind party loyalty.
We will always have the courage to speak clear, simple truths and promote healthy dialogue where ideas are evaluated based on merit.
We will approach our country’s toughest challenges with a spirit of collaboration and compromise.
Our Strategy
RENEWING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Defending democracy isn't enough; we must also revitalize it by empowering the Reasonable Majority to implement effective solutions for our nation's challenges. Through our initiatives at Country First, we awaken and activate the vast yet disengaged majority of Americans through innovative public awareness campaigns, highlighting the urgency for change. Our focus on education and engagement exposes the realities of political extremism and inspires hope by showcasing grassroots problem-solving efforts across communities nationwide.
Contribute towards our efforts to renew American democracy.
Join our next event
We regularly hold LIVE Days of Action and Virtual Campfires at which tens of thousands gather to take action, be inspired and informed after connecting with a community of democracy-loving Americans. We hope you’ll join us for our next live gathering.
