American
National Security
is in CRISIS
Situation
Report
Leaked war plans.
National security purges.
Allies insulted and enemies emboldened.
While the Right weaponizes fear
and prioritizes fealty over civic duty,
the Left lacks a unified strategy to
defend our democracy.
UNTIL NOW
ALIAS
WE ARE
Alliance for Leadership in Intelligence & American Security
ALIAS
ALIAS
ALIAS is a think-and-do tank transforming national security into a Democratic advantage by recruiting and uniting leaders with intelligence and national security expertise.
We’re here to help rethink how America defines national security, who shapes it, and how we talk about it as citizens in order to restore public trust in leadership–and help Americans remember what real security looks like:
-
Free and fair elections
-
A livable planet
-
Resilient infrastructure
-
Strong alliances, a thriving economy,
and a country that takes care of its own.
ALIAS
WHY NOW?
For decades, Republicans used fear
to dominate the national security narrative.
Democrats mostly stayed silent—or lamented without offering a clear alternative.
Now those cracks have become crises:
disinformation, extremism, insider threats, willful negligence.
Under this administration, loyalty to the loudest liar has replaced duty to country.
We're not
just losing
the message...
We're losing
the nation.
THE STRATEGY
We operate from one unifying premise: National security is the foundation of a healthy democracy.
And democracy only works when people trust in it. When they believe the systems that protect their rights, health, and futures will hold.
ALIAS focuses on three strategic priorities that move the Democratic party—and our country—toward a smarter, more stable, and more holistic approach to national security.
A New Coalition
We back real security leaders—and help them rise.
-
Identifying and supporting talent in defense, diplomacy, climate, cyber, and civic resilience
-
Acting as a hub for recruitment, messaging, and campaign support
-
Building a credible bench ready to lead with clarity and conviction
A New Vision
Reframe security around what we defend for: Dignity, trust, accountability, and a future every American can believe and invest in.
-
Reclaiming national security as a civic responsibility
-
Elevating values like public trust and shared responsibility
-
Defining security through what we protect—not just what we defend against
A New Conversation
Equip Democratic leaders to speak with clarity, credibility, and heart.
-
Training leaders to speak credibly—on air, on stage, on policy
-
Developing message frameworks that outlast the news cycle
-
Bringing the public into the conversation—so they feel seen, not sold to
Call to Action

Our Keystone Project
While Project 2025 outlines a roadmap to authoritarian control,
ALIAS will define and champion Vision 2029—a bold, actionable counter-framework that reclaims security as a tool for stability, democracy, and shared responsibility.
Liberty and
Justice for all.
We the People...
Freedom
