Hey team —

We’re hit every day with news of yet another attack on our democracy. Whether it’s a redistricting plan to dilute Black voting power, injecting religion into our kids’ public schools, or combating misinformation, it’s clear we’ve got our work cut out for us.

Hope’s not lost. Folks are working every day to save our democracy, though they might not be in the places you’d suspect.

I recently joined my friend, Marc Elias, on his podcast ‘Defending Democracy’ to chat about just that — organizing and empowering communities in overlooked, hard-to-reach states.

Groundwork Project aims to do just that. From the Deep South, to the Plains, and Appalachia, we’re supporting local changemakers who are organizing in the toughest places — taking on our country’s biggest issue at its source.

Real political change doesn’t come from Washington; it comes from building people power in local communities. Can you chip in to support local organizers and keep pushing our work forward?

We have to keep organizing like our democracy depends on it — because it does.

Thank you.
