Skip ahead to the next chapter
in American history and work backwards.
Civic Doers Club is open to all voters and leaders who want to save the republic. Be a part of a strategic and disciplined civic uprising.
Based on historic victories, political science, hardball strategy, and today’s real-world zeitgeist, the people —not politicians— will bring about a new day in America. No more complaining over five bottles of wine at the Michelin-star restaurant or the hate posting on social media. Let’s get to work.
As a solo consultant, I help clients —and the issues they care about— find a voice and influence to change minds.
For nearly two decades, I’ve led or supported high-impact public policy, litigation, and issue education efforts. My issue portfolio includes healthcare policy, public health, marriage equality, military policy, and democracy.
I’m Kevin Nix.
What this is
A sandbox for civic-minded Americans who want this nightmare over and want to accelerate the next calm but strong chapter full of possibility. Interactivity, relationship building, strategy-driven action —way outside of the ivory-tower and D.C. Beltway—is what we’re going for.
Live meetings and networking
Twice a month I hold live, guided meetings for Civic Doer Club members. Get best practices for political advocacy and impact in nonpartisan ways. Hear from civic leaders on what they’re doing on the ground. Explore and map the projects that make sense for you. Let’s build what David Brooks calls a “civic uprising” — an unstoppable movement that flexes its power.
Knowledge: Short Books and Briefs
One a month, I publish short books or strategy memos on civic leadership and public engagement. What works and doesn’t work? What can civic society— science, journalism, nonprofits, universities, both political parties, and everyday voters— be doing as part of a national movement?

1:1 Coaching
Knowing an audience like your family and anticipating political and P.R. risks separate the good from the great. Working in collaboration with clients, I provide message and narrative strategy, based on deep research and the zeitgeist; AI messaging testing; and media coaching. This work shapes attitudes of the public and decision-makers.
