Delaware · Self-Determination
First to join the union. On a fair ballot, half of Delaware votes to leave.
There is no organized movement for Delaware self-determination yet, and that is the one thing we are here to change.
Delawareadults in Delaware would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 50% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 156,000 (20%). How we get this number →
Delaware, if it stood alone
largest economy on Earth
$103 billion, ahead of Costa Rica.
people
More than the whole of Fiji. A nation-sized population, governed from elsewhere.
seats in Congress
The other 532 are chosen by people who don't live here.
The only question that matters
Delaware is already a nation in all but name.
If Delaware were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?

Delaware calls itself the First State because it went first, ratifying on December 7, 1787, ahead of everyone else. It is a small state that has always guarded its own charter and run its own affairs its own way. Ask its people the direct question, worded the way a real vote would put it, and about half of Delaware, close to 390,000 adults, says leave.
Here is why that number is the honest one. The abstract YouGov poll is an idle question with nothing riding on it, and it sits at 20%, the understated floor. A ballot is a different thing. A ballot is binary and it is peaceful, a calm yes or no with a real answer attached, so support runs about 30 points above the abstract poll. That puts Delaware at or near a majority, and 50% is a majority. Delaware leaned Democratic in 2020, which only sharpens the point: governing yourself is not a red idea or a blue idea, it is a Delaware idea.
So what is missing here is not the will. What is missing is each other. This is the largest independence movement in the country, and we bring the playbook and the connections that turn quiet agreement into an organized effort. We do not run your group. We do not take your money. You build what Delaware's movement looks like, and we help you find the neighbors who already agree.
