An In-depth Conversation with Brandon Straka: Founder of #WalkAway, Omaha, NE

I’m Brandon Straka, originally from O’Neill, Nebraska. I am the founder of the #WalkAway campaign, a movement I started to encourage people to leave the Democratic Party and explore conservative ideals.

After personally walking away from the left due to what I perceived as increasing radicalization and intolerance, I decided to use my platform to share this journey and help others who might feel marginalized within their political communities.

What inspired you to start the #WalkAway Campaign?

It was a culmination of events and realizations. I felt a growing disconnect with the Democratic Party, especially around issues of free speech and ideological diversity. The final straw came when I saw friends and community members being ostracized for their beliefs. I wanted to create a space where leaving a political party did not mean losing a community, hence #WalkAway.

How do you address critics who say #WalkAway is just driving further polarization?

I understand the concern, but #WalkAway is about breaking down barriers, not building them. It’s a movement geared towards fostering understanding and encouraging people to think independently, rather than blindly following a particular political ideology. We strive to engage in dialogues that many feel they can’t have within their own political circles, which is a step towards depolarization.

What do you consider your biggest success with the #WalkAway campaign so far?

Seeing the real impact on people’s lives. Hearing the stories of those who felt they had no voice and have found not just their voice but also a community that resonates with them is incredibly fulfilling. It’s not just about changing political views; it’s about empowering individuals to speak up and engage critically with civic issues.

Can you share an experience that particularly moved you during your campaign?

There was this young woman who approached me at one of our town hall meetings. She was nearly in tears explaining how much of a relief it was to find a group of people who didn’t demonize her for questioning the mainstream narrative of her former party. Her bravery and relief in finding a like-minded community really touched me—it reminded me why I started #WalkAway in the first place.

What are your future plans for the #WalkAway campaign?

We’re planning to expand our educational outreach. We want to host more events, not just in major cities but in rural areas where political dissent can sometimes feel impossible. Additionally, we’re working on creating more video content that can reach people worldwide, sharing stories that media often doesn’t tell.

What advice would you give to someone considering walking away from their political party?

Do your research, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to listen to differing opinions. The journey is personal and can be challenging, but you’re not alone. There are many out there who have walked this path and found fulfillment in understanding their beliefs more deeply. Ultimately, trust yourself to make the decision that’s right for you.
