Strengthening Democracy,
Working for a Better Nation
Every day we are torn apart by the news of another mass shooting, another assault on women’s reproductive rights, disenfranchised voters, another attack on LGBTQ rights, another reason to fear for the health of our citizens and our planet. We are all concerned about these problems and work with organizations to help solve them, but without leadership in Congress and our state legislatures, we won’t make progress. We must elect leaders who will address these problems, advance democracy, and put the nation's welfare before self-interest. This is why Lean Left has chosen to work on elections outside Vermont, where the need for voter protection and legislative change is the greatest. We partner with progressive grassroots organizations in states where we believe we can make a difference.
Building a Team for 2024
For more than a year we have been building a team to work on this election. We have connected volunteers with effective actions and with each other. We’ll be providing information about events, fundraising opportunities, educational resources, and suggestions for gatherings with the focus of winning up and down the ballot in our three target states — Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and New Hampshire. Things are moving fast so grab some friends check out the Take Action page and our calendar.

Fundraising Finale
Our final fundraising effort for this election is going all out on our mission: supporting 3 GOTV groups, one from each of our 3 states. Each state organization is targeting a different group of voters who will be crucial for victory: voters of color in North Carolina, conservation voters in Pennsylvania, and pro-choice voters in New Hampshire. All three groups are experts in getting out the vote and will be sending experienced canvassers to knock on tens of thousands of doors, talking to voters who don’t always show up to the polls, and having those all-important conversations about their shared values.
Thank you to everyone for all the work you’ve put in over the last nine months. The best advice we can give is to ignore the polls: the election is incredibly close but WINNABLE.
