As we look to the future — especially toward the critical elections of 2025 and beyond — it’s clear that the need for quality and local leadership has never been more urgent. The heart of our work lies with engaging overlooked communities, listening to their concerns, and meeting them with action. From now until 2028 and beyond, we are building something that will endure for decades: a nationwide pro-democracy infrastructure that brings together local leadership, year-round voter contact, and a commitment to long-term change.
We cannot afford to sit back and wait for change to come from the top down. As we celebrate President’s Day, we must remember that true leadership comes from the ground up — from the communities we serve, from the volunteers who tirelessly advocate for democracy, and from the countless individuals who choose to act, even in the face of adversity. We will continue to strengthen our grassroots efforts, engage in strategic messaging, and build the infrastructure that will drive change.
But we can’t do it alone. Today, we’re asking you to take one small step:
✔️ Invite three friends to join The Union
✔️ Host a community meet-and-greet
✔️ Share our message
✔️ Donate to help build our 50-state infrastructure
Tell us what you did! Reply to this email or tag us online @jointheunionus — we want to celebrate and amplify your work.
Let’s keep pushing forward — our future depends on it.
In solidarity,
Reed Galen
