I’m so proud that half of our grads who entered politics after Arena Academy are people of color and two-thirds are women.

Arena Community,

While we watch Super Tuesday results come in, we can’t forget that campaign staff, not just candidates, shape campaign messages and policies.

In order to better support the next generation of campaign staff, earlier this year we launched a new quarterly survey to keep up with Arena grads and learn how we can assist them as they take the next steps in their careers.

We learned that 75 of our alumni went on to work for Presidential campaigns.

Arena grads also include 34 Congressional campaign staffers and 20 alums working for Democratic parties and committees at state and federal levels.

We already knew that 57% of our grads are people of color and 62% are women. Our survey findings confirm that this trend extends to the 21% of graduates who landed jobs with no political experience before Arena.

This is proof that your gifts are changing who gets hired and how long it takes them to find a job. 119 Arena scholarship recipients had never worked in politics before. Most of them come from the backgrounds (like low-income families) that Democratic campaigns must better represent if we’re going to win.

Help us build a more diverse, more strategic Democratic talent pipeline. Give $15 today to fund scholarships for our next round of Academies in battleground states where adding trained staff as diverse as their voters is likely to flip control of the statehouses. ([link removed])

Onward,
Ravi
