- Identify elected representatives
- Offer unbiased facts about ballot issues
- Facilitating communication channels
- Providing unfiltered feedback from officials
The Logo & Why Purple?
Purple
Represents participation across differences—not the elimination of differences.
People do not need to agree on everything to listen, contribute, collaborate, and work toward responsible progress. By a combination of our country's red and blue sides, Purple symbolizes the space where different perspectives can remain distinct while still finding ways to move forward together.
The Logo
The Eagle: A majestic symbol of America.
The Shield: Represents protection, integrity, and responsible stewardship. The handshake at its center symbolizes respect, cooperation, and the belief that people with different experiences and viewpoints can still work toward useful solutions. Together, they reflect Purple Eagle’s commitment to protecting its nonpartisan mission while creating a constructive environment where people can participate without being pressured to adopt a particular political position.
The Key: Represents access and opportunity. It symbolizes opening the door to civic information, elected representatives, community conversations, practical tools, and meaningful ways to become involved. It also reflects the belief that influence should not be limited to those with wealth, status, or established connections.
Together, the shield and key communicate a central promise: To protect the integrity of participation while opening more pathways for ordinary people to be heard, informed, and involved.
