[please read] Here’s a five step plan:
John – fter all the exciting victories for Democrats this week, you might be wondering how we can start preparing for 2026. Here’s our five step plan:
Step 1: Rest
Whether you knocked doors, made calls, chipped in a few bucks, or just paid attention + spread the word, your energy helped elect the Democratic leaders who will fight back against Donald Trump + the GOP. Use the days + weeks following this election to rest, recover, reflect, and recharge for the fight ahead.
Step 2: Re-engage
Once you’re all rested up, it’s time to re-engage. Find a new candidate (or two… or three…) or an issue to support ahead of the 2026 midterms. Do some research about who and what is on your ballot, then decide how you want to take action.
Step 3: Invest
There are two main ways you can invest in a candidate or cause you care about: Time and money. If you can, chip in $5 to your favorite candidate, campaign, or grassroots movement like ours, which supports Democrats running in some of the most competitive races across the country. If you would prefer to volunteer your time, connect directly with the campaign you’re eager to support to learn about ways to get involved.
Step 4: Organize
Simply having conversations with your friends, family, and neighbors about the candidates and issues you choose to support is one of the most powerful tools to organize before an election. Start talking, get curious, and stay productive!
Step 5: Win
Focusing our energy, investing our resources, and organizing our communities are our best chance to WIN the 2026 midterms – and that work has to start TODAY.
So please, if you’re ready to help us elect the next generation of Democrats across the country next year and beyond, consider rushing a donation of $5 or more today.
