I’m really excited to connect with you today. I spent this morning messaging supporters in our FIRST Groundwork Project Partner States and now I’m ready to share with you the states we will be focusing on in the coming months...
With that, I introduce you to the first slate of Groundwork Project Partner States: Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia!
Donate now to help with Groundwork's efforts in these states.
My team spent the first half of 2021 conducting a thorough landscape survey. The results were clear: the majority of organization-based, national, and high-dollar resources in play today are, understandably, being directed towards immediate battlegrounds, the states deemed essential for Democratic success in the 2022 midterms and 2024 presidential contest.
This work is critical, but if Democrats are going to fundamentally shift the map over the next decade, we need to expand the number of resources going to states where the path ahead for Democrats is longer and tougher.
This is where Groundwork wants to channel our efforts. Our national footprint will focus on three distinct regions: the Deep South, the Plains and Appalachia, which have most acutely felt a lack of attention and resources from the Democratic Party. Our first set of states are just the start of our work in these regions.
As you know, we believe sustained local investments are the single best way to remedy injustice, build power in disenfranchised communities – and win elections.
We play the long game and we are eager to hit the ground running in our FIRST three Groundwork Partner States. If you are excited to make a long lasting impact for Democrats, donate to our Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia Funds.

I’m excited to share with you even more ways to help in the months ahead. Thank you for your continued support and I hope you are just as eager to make an impact in Alabama, Mississippi, and West Virginia as I am.
More soon!
Joe
