Committed to promoting adherence to objective reality in American public life.
Join us in making a just future by telling the truth about the problems and the opportunities we face now, and the obstacles we’ve struggled with in the past.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
-Arthur Schopenhauer
Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
It’s been said that big things can have small beginnings. One of CT4’s first projects was a a simple poster outlining Washington, DC’s legal protections for placement of such signs on the city’s streetlamps (“Street Posters are Legal in DC”). One such poster, along with another sign unfavorably depicting President Trump, was visible in a rare public appearance by the President on DC’s streets in August 2025.
What will commitment to telling the truth require?
There are no shortcuts to promoting justice using the truth. Lies and omissions are common in society because they often provide a means to gain power, wealth, or even momentary comfort. Committing to tell only the truth about critical issues is fundamental to making better policies and building institutions that work for everybody.
“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
— Oscar Wilde
