No Labels is an American political organization based in the United States, composed of Republicans, Democrats, and independents, whose mission is to "usher in a new era of focused problem solving in American politics."
No Labels aims to create a movement—in Congress, among the public and presidential candidates and with influential business, labor and advocacy groups—in support of a National Strategic Agenda based on the following four goals:
