John,

This is a long-term game.

In red districts, purple districts, rural, exurb, battleground state or not, we're giving Democratic activists what they desperately need: time, money, and infrastructure.

We refuse to settle for "the way things are," so we're helping to support and fund 300 county parties for locals to reach out to other locals in sustained long-term organizing.

Democrats are in a rough patch, and the only thing that can dig us out of it is supporting real people organizing in their own communities and talking to their own neighbors about what worries them.

So, we put our money where our mouth is to support local Democratic parties so they can train volunteers, host events, open offices, advocate, and support the local candidates and causes most important to them.

We're thrilled to be an organization of action.

We award grants of $2,000 annually to county parties who are doing the hard work and developing face-to-face relationships with voters over the long haul.

We can reshape our country county by county, and we can build – and ultimately, pass – a progressive agenda, but it starts with supporting the scrappy, hungry, passionate Dems on the ground right now.
