🌟 3 Reasons We’re Grateful

As we reflect on 2025 and prepare to welcome the new year, we’re taking a moment to recognize what keeps our democracy resilient. We are endlessly grateful for the values and the people who continue to push our mission forward.

People-power: Democracy thrives when we show up, speak out, and step up for our communities. Members like you, in every state and every congressional district, drive the meaningful change nationwide. We’re thankful for your support, whether you donate, volunteer, or share our work on social media.

Freedom to vote: The freedom to vote is the cornerstone of a representative democracy and the key that unlocks all other rights. Every ballot cast reflects our collective power — and our responsibility to one another. Affirming that freedom is why we do this work, from passing state voting rights acts to running our election protection program, so every eligible voter can be heard. Thank you to everyone who voted and everyone who helped protect the vote in 2025!

Those who still believe in No Kings: Checks and balances mean fairness, transparency, and accountability in our government. While some elected officials surrender the authority voters entrusted to them, we’re thankful for those who still say, “No Kings in America!” Whether you marched at a No Kings rally or stood up in your state legislature to reject the President’s partisan push for mid-decade redistricting — thank you for defending our democracy.

Join us in pushing our mission forward and continuing this work together in 2026.
