John,

When you feel like you’re the only Democrat in the community, it can be tough to get involved in politics.

But the truth is, there are millions of Democrats in rural America. We just don’t see each other in our communities.

That’s why we are sending yard signs to rural volunteers organizing on tough turf in critical battleground states, and we need your help.

Right now, we have hundreds of volunteers in over 140 small towns and rural communities across Wisconsin and Pennsylvania who have signed up to distribute yard signs to their families, friends, and neighbors in support of democratic values and Democratic candidates.

We have already delivered thousands of signs to volunteers in Montana, Michigan, and Ohio. Now, we need to raise $15,000 to ensure every rural volunteer in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania gets the yard signs they need by the end of this month.

This election cycle, political campaigns plan to spend millions of dollars on TV ads. But we know that what a community says about a candidate is more important than what a candidate says to a community–especially on television.

Rural voters who support Democratic candidates need to know they’re not alone so they feel comfortable talking to their friends, family, and neighbors about the November election.

We know that yard signs create conversations, and conversations can cut Republican margins.

Over the last few months, we have conducted field experiments and found that each sign in a yard generates 4 to 6 conversations. These organic conversations between friends, family, and neighbors are the foundation for our strategy to turn out rural voters who support democratic values and Democratic candidates in November.

During the next 160 days, we will engage over 170,000 rural Democratic-leaning voters across the five battleground states of Ohio, Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. We’re specifically targeting communities with fewer than 45,000 people, the places most often ignored by Democratic campaigns.

In just a few weeks, we have recruited over 700 volunteers across 384 communities in Ohio, Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. These volunteers have already placed thousands of yard signs—and we’re just getting started. But we're already running out of signs.

Thanks so much for your support!

Matt

We have built our campaign in two phases. The first phase will end in July 2024. During this phase, we will place signs with pro-democratic values. The second phase, beginning in August 2024, will place signs supporting Democratic candidates.
