Arena Community,

2020 is finally (almost) over.

Amidst a year of a global pandemic and major presidential election, we came together as a community and pushed forward to pave a path of hope and resistance for all people in this country.

For the last four years, Arena has fought for better leadership on the local, state, and national levels. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and we’re not slowing down. Over the next two years we have ambitious goals that are possible to achieve with your support.

This community has built the most robust and diverse talent pipeline the Democratic Party has ever seen -- and now the next chapter of our work begins. Our work moving forward will look a lot like our work to-date. To build a robust and diverse talent pipeline we need to invest in training and changing who has access to politics early and often. That's why we’ve compiled the Arena 2020 Report so you can take an in-depth look at what we’ve accomplished together and what we’ve got planned for the future. 

Donate today to power our movement forward and secure a pipeline of leaders in this country who stand for progressive values.

Check out a few key highlights from our report:

• We trained more than 5,277 campaign staffers and volunteers.
• We trained 411 organizers to join the Biden campaign and others up-and-down the ballot in partnership with Organizing Together 2020.
• We graduated 1,102 people from Arena Academy -- 60% of whom are women and 53% of whom are people of color.
• We hosted a volunteer training event in conjunction with the Democratic National Convention that received over 30,000 live streams.
• We co-produced a documentary, Dress Rehearsal, to elevate lessons learned from Democrats’ successful judicial election in Wisconsin, which took place in the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• We helped raise nearly $6 million for 84 candidates in five states in partnership with Future Now Fund.
• We matched training graduates with 485 jobs on campaigns and progressive organizations around the country.

Thank you for believing in our values and leadership, and for being a part of this vital work. We look forward to coming together in 2021 and diving back in. For now, have a happy and healthy start to the new year.

Thanks,

Team Arena
