"Those who profess to favor freedom
and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without
ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning;
they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle
may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be
both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without
a demand; it never has and it never will."
-Frederick Douglass

The National Civic League established the New Politics Program
(NPP) to recognize and promote innovative political reforms implemented
across the country at the state and local level. The New Politics
Program connects with the National Civic League philosophy that
all major political reform begins at the local level, eventually
building irresistible momentum for national reform.
