Samuel --

Ten years ago, I was working in Iowa for a guy named Barack Obama who had a pretty novel idea about how you win elections: neighbor by neighbor, block by block.

I learned just how true it is that one voice can change a room, that one room can change a city, and that one city can change the world. Creating change has always started at the local level -- and that's why it's been so encouraging to see the Democratic Party launch their Every ZIP Code Counts strategy.

When Democrats compete and organize everywhere, we win.

That's how we took back Congress from the GOP in 2006, that's how we elected Barack Obama as our President in 2008, and that's how we got Doug Jones elected in one of the reddest states in the country this past year. If we keep it up, it's also how Democrats will take back control of Congress in November.

There's no doubt in my mind that the DNC is on the right track -- the only question is whether or not enough people will step up to help Democrats win. Contribute $3 today to support the DNC's organizing work as we kick off 2018.

Or donate another amount.
Back in January 2008, when President Obama won an upset victory in the Iowa caucus, it happened for two reasons:

1. There was a powerful movement of people who believed that we could bring about positive change in our country -- but only if we worked together.


2. We got more people involved in the political process. First-time caucus goers, young people, and independents turned out in large numbers and it made all the difference.

Here's the deal, Samuel: What happened back then is actually not that different from what's happening today. People are ready for change and they are prepared to be the ones who create that change.

That work starts now -- and with your help, we can take our fight to all 50 states.

Make a $3 contribution today to support the DNC's 2018 organizing work. We're counting on your support to elect Democrats nationwide this November.

I'm excited to see what this year brings. Thanks for being a part of it.
