Neighbors Organizing for Power and Equality

Defending Democracy. Winning Elections.

We are neighbors organizing for progress and equality. We protect voting rights and support Democratic candidates and grassroots organizing groups in battleground states.

We’re an all-volunteer organization based in Washington, D.C., but our reach is nationwide.

Transitioning from 2025 to 2026

In 2025 we worked to:

  • Help elect progressive candidate Judge Susan Crawford to the WI Supreme Court. (She won!)

  • Defeat the Big Brutal Budget bill. (It broke our hearts to lose this one.)

  • Elect Democrats to the Virginia House of Delegates and elect Abigail Spanberger to be the next Governor of VA. (Success! Governor-elect Spanberger and all seven of the VA House candidates we supported won their races.)

  • Retain a liberal majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. (Another victory! All three of the Democratically-endorsed justices that we supported retained their seats.)

    Thanks to all of you who canvassed, called, wrote and donated. Your time and dollars did make a difference.

    And here’s a preview of our strategy for 2026:

  • We will pull out all the stops to win the US House in 2026. (You can start now by supporting our new slate of grassroots allies in battleground states. Learn more about them and donate here.)

  • We’ll also take aim at turning the Senate blue. (Yes, it’s a reach - but our democracy needs it.)

  • We’ll expand and improve our recommendations for actions you can take to protect the vote — essential in 2026.

  • We will continue to flag opportunities to oppose the Trump administration’s never-ending stream of outrageous and undemocratic actions. This currently includes protests and vigils marking the horrific slaying of ICE protester Renee Good. (Our weekly bulletins will resume in mid-February; meanwhile send us a message here if you’d like to join our Signal chat for rapid alerts on opportunities in the D.C. area.)

Join us! Read our bulletins, attend our meetings, and check out our calendar for specific opportunities to defend democracy.

Meet Our 2026 Grassroots Allies

We selected these groups after a months-long assessment. All four work in battleground states. They have effective leadership, significant records of accomplishment, and strong accountability practices. They work year-round to build trust in underserved communities, and then turn out the vote in election seasons.

  • Georgia: Fair Fight Action

  • Michigan: Mi Poder

  • North Carolina: Carolina Federation

  • Pennsylvania: Make the Road Action PA

We Have a Winning Strategy

 
 

We help you get the biggest return on your investment of volunteer time and money. 

  • We focus on battleground states with close and pivotal races (President, Senate, House, and statehouse). 

  • We research to identify grassroots organizers in battleground states and Democratic candidates who deserve your time and financial support. 

We provide an on-ramp to activism.

  • We offer a wide variety of well-researched volunteer opportunities for you to get involved and have an impact. See our Bulletins and Calendar.

  • We recommend donations to help grassroots organizers and candidates win elections. See our Donations page.

In 2025 we are also curating and publicizing non-violent opportunities to oppose the Trump-MAGA Republican agenda. See our Bulletins.
