More Perfect Union Accountability Network - What We Do
WE THE PEOPLE & MPUAN
Letter-writing campaigns have long been one of the most effective tools for We the People to demand accountability and change. Our Right to demand accountability is enshrined in the FIRST AMENDMENT to our constitution.
At More Perfect Union Accountability Network (MPUAN), we empower citizens to use their words — delivered by USPS mail — to hold government actors and agencies accountable. Here’s how we help:
- We remove barriers that prevent people from demanding change. These government actors and agencies are funded by our labor — the sweat on our backs, the blisters on our fingers, and the exhaustion in our bones. For our blood, sweat, and tears, we deserve accountability.
- We provide open, ready-to-use “Demand for Accountability” and reform letter templates. Each is editable so you can make it your own. Writing a grievance from scratch takes time — we make it easier to begin, refine, and act.
- We compile and share contact information for government actors and agencies so you can reach the right people faster.
- We encourage sharing. You can choose to make your letters or contacts public to help others in their pursuit of accountability. Together, we build a stronger, more informed community.
- We mail your letters for you. If it’s a burden to print, stamp, and mail, MPUAN will do it for you — for less than the cost of filling a tire with air. We’ll make sure your message is signed, sealed, and delivered.
While we champion USPS mail as a powerful, tangible tool of democratic accountability, all pressure is good pressure. That’s why we also share email addresses and social media handles for government officials — so you can take action in whatever way works for you.

Why We Do What We Do - And Why It Will Work
“Secrecy in government is fundamentally anti-democratic, perpetuating bureaucratic errors. Open debate and discussion of public issues are vital to our national health. On public questions there should be ‘uninhibited, robust, and wide-open’ debate.”
Justice William O. DouglassNew NYT v. United States (1971)
