Former Civil Servants Speak: How to Achieve Real Government Reform in a Post-DOGE World

Read the Report

We are building a civil servant-informed, non-partisan movement to deliver the government the American people deserve.

Because government of the people, by the people, for the people cannot long endure–unless it delivers.

How We're Different

We’re former federal officials who’ve been in the trenches.

We succeeded at improving effectiveness and efficiency in our agencies long before DOGE showed up with its chain saws — and despite obstacles, large and small, we have the track record to prove it.

But our ability to deliver was limited by our roles, political leadership, a risk-averse government culture, and an ever-growing tangle of federal regulations, Congressional directives, and executive orders that led to a culture of checking boxes at the expense of driving results.

Now that we are no longer federal officials, we're free to speak truth to power and advocate for change that cuts across agencies.

What We Do

Translate citizen input into actionable, lasting change.

Define What Americans Want and Need From Government

And educate the public about why the federal government is broken.

Through intentional public conversations, we seek to understand Americans’ pain points in accessing federal services and educate the public about the barriers we have encountered as civil servants in addressing these pain points. We also seek to redefine how civil servants hear and respond to those pain points, and integrate the insights we glean from these conversations into the solutions we propose.

Deliver Short-Term Fixes to Agency Leaders

And provide enough implementation tools to make those plans work.

Through case studies, templates, and recommendations about how to replicate, scale, and incentivize best practices that we've already implemented in individual agencies or programs, we offer solutions that civil servants still in government can immediately adopt to drive results.

Deliver Medium-Term Fixes to Executive Branch

And provide clear expectations about the results this kind of action should produce.

Through suggested rewrites of bloated and outdated regulations, we offer the opportunity to revamp federal regulations in a thoughtful, nonpartisan manner for lasting and effective reform.

Deliver Long-Term Fixes to Congress

And give elected leaders the confidence to take transformative action.

Through repealing or amending unhelpful laws about how agencies must operate -- and writing new laws to push them to operate more effectively -- we offer Congress expert guidance on how to make the next 250 years of American government run more smoothly.
