Things WE can do to WIN.

Given that DNC actually has an organization and ground troops, donating is probably the most effective way to come out ahead in 2022, but there's always more to do. Here is a short list of what I've found. Adding to it as I find actionable items.

If you haven't attended any DNC organizing or training sessions, you're missing out!!!
And we need EVERYBODY. I just got done with a Social Media Ambassador training. They have AWESOME tools to use on social media.
Thank you, CousinIT!

Want to end the filibuster? Then help this fantastic Senate candidate beat the GOP
Progressives have two goals when it comes to the Senate this year: preserving our current majority, and making sure our next majority supports reforming the filibuster. Fortunately, this year’s race in North Carolina gives us the chance to do both, which is why Daily Kos is proud to endorse former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley in her bid to flip this open seat from the GOP.

How to win in every corner of the country.

So we came up with a three-pronged strategy:

1) All Politics Are Local: ... it requires local control and a local touch on messaging and campaign infrastructure to truly be successful.

2) Training: We wanted to find grassroots activists and volunteers, to give them as much knowledge and experience as we could.

3) Unconventional campaigning: We knew we couldn’t win a toe-to-toe fight, so we had to take every weakness and make it a strength.
