Dear ,
A few weeks ago, at a Center for Popular Democracy (CPD) event, I listened to community organizers from Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania talk about their work building relationships and winning local and state-level campaigns with CPD’s sister organization, CPD Action (CPDA). As they spoke about what it took to register hundreds of thousands of voters in 2018, by organizing their collective communities to knock on more than five million doors, for the first time in a long time, I started to feel hopeful. CPD's national network of organizers have a simple plan for moving the country forward: knock on doors regularly, build deep relationships and trust, and prove to people that through direct action and voting they have the power to shape their future and ensure marginalized voices continue to rise in our country’s elections.

The Center for Popular Democracy’s network of community organizations fight and win battles every day that change lives directly––not just during get-out-the-vote drives. And, heading into 2020, the network is expanding its efforts to register and empower voters in the most vulnerable parts of the country. This non-partisan work will support efforts to get out the vote and will strengthen the communities that have taken the hardest hits under the current administration–to secure progressive policies on issues like living wages, housing rights and challenging cruel family separation at the border. I hope you will join me in supporting CPD and its affiliates this year. Here's a sense of what we can do in key states and districts across the country, from the very modest to more ambitious: |
