Open Primaries Inc., a new national 501(c)(4) nonprofit political reform organization.
The organization is being led by a very good friend, independent activist John Opdycke and was launched with support from philanthropists Laura and John Arnold.
The mission of Open Primaries is to advocate for open and nonpartisan primary systems, educate the public about the benefits of open primaries, train and support spokespeople, and participate in the building of local, state, and national open primaries coalitions.

From their website:
Open Primaries believes that no American should be required to join a political party to exercise his or her right to vote. Closed primaries also make it more difficult for new coalitions to form and for Americans--both voters and elected officials--to come together across ideological lines.
Open Primaries' commitment is to public education and to leading legal, legislative and direct ballot initiative campaigns to enact and protect open primaries.
CLICK HERE for more information about their projects, and if ready, to join their efforts to give all registered voters the ability to select their candidates in the primary process, instead of, allowing parties to select their voters.
