For decades, the Democratic Party has under-resourced, under-valued, and under-recognized the importance of local political infrastructure and year-round grassroots organizing. 2020 put into sharp focus the limits of boom-or-bust campaigning, where massive amounts of money, attention, and volunteers parachute into certain states a few weeks before Election Day -- only to dry up the day after.

Luckily 2020 also showed us a better way.

• In Georgia, it was a decades-long effort by local organizers to register new voters that delivered Democrats the Senate.
• In Arizona and Wisconsin, the long-term commitment of native organizers to turn out votes on tribal land gave Joe Biden the edge he needed.
• It was grassroots organizers in red states like Missouri that delivered Medicaid expansion and in essential battlegrounds like Florida that finally raised the minimum wage.

We need to invest -- often and early -- in the people doing the work on the ground in their community to build support for Democratic values, issues, and candidates 365 days a year.

That’s why Joe created Groundwork Project. Donate to be a Founding Donor and join this movement.

We wanted to share our mission statement with you right away, so you can see what we are all about. Groundwork Project will:

• Support community organizers, advocates, and activists in Massachusetts and across the country who are working year-round to build a just, free, and equitable future for all.
   
• Invest in hyperlocal efforts that build sustainable political infrastructure, engage and educate voters, and build power for the underrepresented and disenfranchised.
   
• Advocate for a more connected, responsive, and representative Democratic Party that can win elections and deliver the progress that American families need.

DONATE NOW

How we will do this work:

• We listen first. We act on what we hear and learn -- not what we assume.
   
• We amplify voices, direct spotlight, and offer support with no expectation of transaction.
   
• We play the long game and understand the benefit of investing in pipelines on the ground to create change “up-ballot”.
   
• We know the “redder” the community, often the more critical the work and often the deeper the need.

Lastly, we believe that you cannot win a fight you don’t show up for. You can start by becoming a Founding Donor to Groundwork Project.

As a Founding Donor, you will be the first to hear about our virtual launch events coming soon! You will also be on the ground floor as we fight for a wholesale redirection of Democratic dollars, time, energy, and resources, towards grassroots groups doing essential community organizing with little spotlight or support.
