John,
Whether we're fighting to defeat Q'Anon candidates, insurrectionist
Republicans, or Marjorie Taylor Greene, it takes resources -- funding from
real people -- for us to win.
Whether we're fighting to win Medicare for All, Green New Deal, voting
rights or racial justice, it takes resources -- direct funding from you --
to fuel victory.
DFA isn't funded by Wall Street billionaires, corporate checks, or even
institutional foundations. DFA is funded 100% by you. In fact, over 97% of
contributions of the 70 million dollars we've raised for progressive
candidates and causes in our 17 years has been less than $100 each.
Incredible huh?
That's how we've stayed true to our grassroots people powered mission day
after day, year after year, candidate after candidate and issue after
issue. We've stayed true because we're funded by you.
Now, we need you to come through for DFA again and if you do, we want to
give you a cool "Elections Matter" bumper sticker as a free gift to say
thank you. [ [link removed] ]Please contribute $5, $10, or even $100 on a monthly basis
to fund the critical work needed to win big on everything that matters.

Here’s a bunch more reasons why a monthly contributing supporting our work
and becoming a DFA Defender is the best way to make change happen
nationwide:
There is never an off-year for DFA
Whether it's a local school board or the U.S. Congress, elections happen
every month of every year. Since our founding, DFA has elected 1,091
progressives nationwide, trained over 125,000 candidates, campaign staff
and volunteers, and made over 33 million voter contacts. The work of
fighting for change never ends, and we make sure your investment in
progressive movement-building goes the distance.
Power the largest coordinated PAC in America
Every dollar you contribute goes further. Field operations and phone
outreach are coordinated closely with campaigns so we can expand the
footprint of each candidate by covering fresh ground. We don't waste
resources duplicating work that's already been done and all data collected
is shared directly with the campaign, providing them with critical voter
contact information they need to Get Out The Vote by Election Day.
Invest early in progressive visionaries
DFA is the tip of the spear in finding and funding the leaders of
tomorrow. From State Senator Barack Obama in 2004 to Stacey Abrams on day
one of her first campaign for Governor in 2017, DFA has always led the
movement, highlighting the heroes of tomorrow with the early support that
makes a difference TODAY.
Fight everywhere so we can win everywhere
We have always believed in the 50 state strategy. Supporting races in red,
blue and purple states, up and down the ballot from school board to
district attorney, and from Governors to the U.S. Presidency, we know that
if you fight everywhere, you can win anywhere.
Elect the New American Majority
The progressive movement grows stronger every day because we are powered
by the New American Majority; people of color and progressive white
voters. We win when we invest in all our communities, engage year around
in deep organizing, and elect progressive leaders who have the life
experience to build a reflective democracy.
Sustain momentum with multi-cycle organizing
Our work has always focused on long-term organizing, from flipping Georgia
in 2021 with work started in 2017 to turning Virginia from Purple to Blue
over 7 years and dozens of campaigns in 2019, we've proven to make a real,
lasting impact, you must commit to multi-cycle organizing that doesn't
stop at the end of just one campaign.
Fuel battle-ready rapid response and immediate impact
We hit the ground running when a cause, an issue, or a candidate needs our
support no matter when or where it happens. We're ready to make an
immediate impact, because we have you -- and a movement of over 1 million
people nationwide -- backing us up every step of the way.
