Jacqueline Salit

Jacqueline Salit is a leader of the Independent voting movement in the United States and president of IndependentVoting.org and the Committee for a Unified Independent Party (CUIP).

As head of the Independent voting movement, Salit has asserted that Independents should not attach themselves to any other political party, but should remain 'anti-party', "whose ascension will be the death of established parties". Furthermore, she has highlighted the importance of remaining ideologically-neutral, or all-inclusive, maintaining that the goal is to wrest control of the electorate from established mainstream parties, and promoting "cross-ideological" democracy.[1]

Salit published a book titled Independents Rising in 2012.[2]

She previously served as campaign manager for Lenora Fulani's bid for the presidency.[3]
