We’re an all-volunteer organization based in Washington, D.C., but our reach is nationwide. Find out more on our About and Leadership pages.
The 2024 White House results were a devastating loss — but our focus on down-ballot races did yield some encouraging results. Democrats, for example, won Senate seats in 4 out of the 5 battleground states with 2024 races. There were noteworthy Democratic victories at the state level. And President-Elect Trump’s “mandate” is underwhelming — as of November 29, the Cook Political Report shows Trump winning only 49.83% of the popular vote, with a margin of only1.55% over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Thank you, NOPE volunteers and donors. You showed up in record numbers. We know your work produced victories in Senate races and at the state and local levels. It also helped contain the “red wave” at the national level. We’re proud of what you have done.
Looking forward, we’ll rest, recuperate, and reflect on what’s worked for us – and what hasn’t. It’s too soon to know for sure, but we are pretty certain that action at the state level will continue to be critical and wins in the near-term may be incremental.
While we are reflecting, our Weekly Update and NOPE Events notices will take an end-of-year pause. We’ll resume regular publication in 2025.
Above all, we won’t give in to despair or defeatism. We will weather this storm, cultivating hope and continuing to say NOPE to those who threaten our democracy. Your courage, energy, and belief in a better future remind us all why this work is worth doing. Together, we’ve built a strong foundation for our joint work in 2025.

We focus our resources — and your time and money — on states where there are Senate or House seats to defend or flip to blue and where there are electoral college votes critical to holding the Presidency in 2024.
We are also active in selected State elections — for example, we are canvassing for state house candidates in PA now.
Our carefully vetted partners work in communities of color with under-represented voters, immigrants, and youth, empowering them to fully participate in their communities and helping them register and turn out to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. Supporting these groups promotes racial justice, fights voter suppression, and wins elections. Our partners for 2024 are: Somos Votantes (Arizona), Black Voters Matter (Georgia), Michigan People’s Campaign (Michigan), Make the Road Action (Nevada), Carolina Federation (North Carolina), One Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania), and Voces de la Frontera Action (Wisconsin).
We do the research so you don’t have to.
Give to carefully vetted candidates: Fourout of five Senate candidates in the battlegrounds won!
Give to our grassroots organizing partners: Democratic candidates consistently outraise their GOP opponents, so targeting the grassroots is strategic. Building their capacities - especially with recurring donations - yields dividends that last beyond a single election cycle. Donate to our partners here. Meet them here.
“I think of NOPE as a political investment advisor. It helps me get the best return on my money — when the return I’m looking for is democracy, progress, and justice.” - Alice Winkler, NOPE donor
