You don’t hear from me much. I’m Emily and I’ve been with Joe Kennedy for nearly a decade, since he was first elected to Congress. I like to stay behind the scenes!
With Groundwork, I’m leading the team with our strategic planning. So I wanted to take a moment to connect today to reiterate the importance of the Groundwork Grant program for our partner organizations.
Over the past several months, we have been connecting with the most incredible local organizers in Alabama, Mississippi & West Virginia. They’re fighting to expand the Democratic base in tough terrain, to remove confederate monuments, to block voter suppression efforts, to ensure fair and equitable redistricting maps, to recruit new candidates, register new voters, and so much more. They’re fighting for a just and progressive future for every person that calls their state home.
Our grant program is the foundation of our support for these organizers, who are the heart of Groundwork Project. Our team, Joe, and leaders in our partner organizations will be working together to support innovative outreach and organizing strategies that will meet voters where they are and fundamentally shift power dynamics in these states.
However, our assistance can only go so far without the funding in the door early to hit the ground running. That’s where you come in. We’re counting on you to help us make the biggest impact possible. Donate now.
Tonight is our July end-of-month budget deadline, and the money we have in the door will help us determine our partner grants for the next few months. THIS is why your contribution today matters so much.
We’re counting on you, team. Here’s a personalized link to give to this critical budget deadline:
