Our Story

This story is about a group of regular people with full-time jobs, families, and lives who decided to do everything we could to strengthen democracy by empowering multi-racial working class coalitions across the country.

​

Because we're data nerds, our research took us deep into electoral maps, demographic patterns, and the science behind a range of voter engagement tactics. Some big truths emerged  -- although billions of dollars are spent in US politics, the vast majority goes to high profile campaigns where an individual contribution won't have a significant marginal impact.

​

Based on this, we developed a strategy that we knew would be effective for winning key races and strengthening democracy in both the short and long term.

​

​​​We started giving presentations to anyone who would listen, explaining how this strategy is both the most effective and most ethical way to win. Since then, 10,000+ people from every state in the nation have donated more than $13 million and made a decisive difference in key elections up and down the ballot and across the country. In the process, we've gained a deeper understanding of the impact of structural racism on our democracy, and how each of us, no matter who or where we are, has a role to play in this democracy.
