This is our pledge to you:
Team,
The NewDem Action Fund is focused on building power and moving the country forward by getting pragmatic Democrats across the country elected to the House of Representatives. And we know the only way Democratic organizations like us make progress is through a grassroots network that’s up for the fight.
You’re a part of that network, and we’re grateful for your support. But too often, grassroots supporters (like YOU) are treated like ATMs – machines that organizations (like ours) keep coming back to again and again, doing or saying anything to get a contribution.
We think that’s wrong. You’re not an ATM. You’re an integral part of our movement. And we’re committed to treating you that way.
So here’s our promise:
*
HONEST
DEADLINES:
We
will
never
ask
you
for
money
to
support
a
deadline
that
isn’t
real
or
a
goal
that
has
no
meaning.
Any
deadlines
or
goals
we
mention
will
be
real
ones
that
our
team
is
working
toward,
and
we’ll
give
you
real
updates
on
our
progress.
*
NO
FALSE
EMERGENCIES:
We
need
your
support,
but
we
will
never
manufacture
a
crisis
to
get
it.
We
are
not
“crushed”
or
“devastated,”
nor
are
we
“defeated”
by
the
challenge
ahead.
In
fact…our
NewDem
Members
and
candidates
will
win
and
we’ll
keep
the
House
blue!
*
NO
HIDDEN
SPLITS:
We
will
never
ask
you
to
support
one
of
our
Members
or
candidates
and
then
keep
half
for
ourselves
without
being
clear
that
we’re
asking
for
you
to
split
your
contribution
(and
you
will
ALWAYS
have
the
option
not
to).
*
NO
MATCHING
GIMMICKS:
We
will
never
claim
a
contribution
is
“double
or
triple
matched”
unless
there’s
a
real
person
matching
your
contribution.
*
MEANINGFUL
MEMBERSHIP:
We
will
never
imply
a
“membership”
that
doesn’t
exist.
(We
DO
have
a
program
for
grassroots
supporters
who
make
a
monthly
recurring
donation.
We
call
it
“Majority
Defenders.”
It’s
real,
we
promise,
and
it
comes
with
periodic
early
and
exclusive
updates
from
us
about
how
we
are
protecting
the
Democratic
Majority
in
the
House.

*
NO
HIDDEN
RECURRING
CONTRIBUTIONS:
We
would
love
for
you
to
become
a
Majority
Defender
with
a
recurring
contribution.
From
time
to
time
we
will
ask
for
that.
But
we
will
never
ask
for
a
one-time
contribution
with
a
link
that
hides
the
fact
that
it's
set
to
capture
recurring
contributions.
Team, you are not an ATM. You are an individual who puts time, effort, and – yes – money behind candidates and causes that move this country forward.
Games and gimmicks won’t help organizations like ours make progress on the big issues that matter. And they don’t treat your support with the respect it deserves.
They turn supporters into skeptics and undermine the very movement we are all part of, one focused on moving America forward.
Organizations like ours need to do better, and we will. That’s our pledge to you.
