The truth is out there…

and it works on the problems we want to solve – but only if we have the time and the energy to sift through the muck and find it, and then connect the dots so we can act. The American Leader will do the legwork and surprise even the knowledgeable with what we find. We want to inform and inspire you and make it easier for you to find and access the tools and resources that will help you be more decisive leaders in the voting booth, in your work, and in your homes and communities.

Your help is needed

The American Leader aims to move the needle forward on solving problems because we believe when we solve problems – and do so together – we build a more sustainable democracy. We need your help to get started and be sustainable ourselves.

The American Leader logo

Welcome!

The American Leader wants to reframe how we look at the world in order to foster progress towards solving our systemic problems. Despite a lot of great journalism that’s been published, we often are constrained in our view of the world by what the newsmakers choose to let us see. It’s their messaging that dominates the headlines, and it’s our role as journalists and news consumers to sift through the volume of information, disinformation, distortions, and distractions to parse the truth. When the rush of headlines keeps coming at a 24/7 pace, a lot can get overlooked, go uninvestigated, or simply get forgotten.

The American Leader aims to bring the best available knowledge back to the surface to connect the dots and create a steadier picture of the world that helps us focus more on how to solve systemic problems like climate change and our ballooning national debt. Years of failing to fix these problems have eroded the public’s faith in our democratic system, and we think it’s time to change that.
