Look, John, we’ve known all along that Democrats have a pretty good shot at flipping the Senate in 2020.
But let’s be honest with ourselves, it’s never just any Democrat -- it’s about progressive Democrats. It’s about the Democrats who will fight for Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. It’s about Democrats who will protect a woman’s right to choose from the right-wing, children in our schools from the NRA, and families at the border from Donald Trump.
It’s about Democrats who fight for multiracial inclusive populism.
It’s NOT about the Democrats beholden to Wall Street, corporate banks, and insurance companies, deciding the fate of policies based on the amount of money they’ll get for it. It’s not about the Democrats who refuse to fight the NRA or drugs companies because they are afraid of attack ads funded by dark money.
It’s not about Democrats who think by running on Republican-Lite policy they can flip Trump-supporting Republicans to support the Democrat.
But the truth is, when the establishment puts its thumb on the scale, it takes a heck of a lot of resources -- time, people, and money -- to beat them.
Our team is fighting hard to fill Congress with progressive Democrats. We’re laying down the critical groundwork to win in 2020, building campaign infrastructure, organizing volunteers, and training candidates and campaign staff on everything from voter targeting to volunteer recruitment.
That’s why we need your support in these early stages. Will you make a donation of $5 or more to help us reach our mid-month goal tonight and successfully take on the establishment?

The American people are tired of the same old politicians. We’re tired of nothing getting done. America wants a wave of fresh, new leaders ready to challenge old ideas and bring about sweeping change for our communities. That’s why we won in 2018 and, with your help, that’s why we’ll win again in 2020.
The candidates DFA supports will move our country forward, but we have to make sure they get to the halls of power first.
And here’s the thing -- our strategy works.
We have over one million members, have trained over 125,000 candidates, staff, and volunteers, have made over 25 million voter contact calls, and have raised over $64,121,685 to elect 1,015 progressive candidates nationwide. People believe in our movement, but we can’t slow down or let up now:
November 2020 may seem far away, but campaigns have already started and the investments we make today can decide the outcomes of these races right now -- not a year from now. Make no mistake: races can be won and lost in these early months. That’s why we’re asking you to make a $5 donation now to fuel our work electing progessive leaders in all 50 states. Donate to our mid-month goal now:
