We can't advance our progressive agenda unless we Save the Senate and protect and expand our majority in the House. Winning each of these races will take a significant amount of resources, which is why we’re asking:
Can you make a contribution of $22 or whatever you can afford to help us invest in each of these critical races and build progressive power across the country?

DFA is committed to electing strong progressive leaders up and down the ballot. Your donations fuel our work and make a meaningful impact in critical races throughout the country.
Let’s keep fighting to win,
