We are back — stronger than ever.

We are redirecting our energy and commitment to connect and reconnect with people who share our values -- who want a decent society, who reject bigotry, who treat people equally and respectfully, who seek social justice, and who believe in the common good.

To put leaders in power who share these values will require bold actions and a creative strategy over the next two years. We have the tools. We have the experience and the strength to stay focused on what we know makes a difference.

There are two things that came out of 2024: First, local organizing makes a difference, and second, the Democrats have a messaging problem. Given this, we will

• continue to leverage the collective power of grassroots organizations to elect progressive candidates running for local, state, and federal offices in our chosen states;

• reach out to voters with fact-based information about the effects of policies coming out of Washington, especially those related to vital bread-and-butter issues;

• and push the National Democratic Party to build upon the proven successes of local, on-the-ground groups that are directly in touch with both urban and rural voters.
