… by winning elections. We protect voting rights and support Democratic candidates and grassroots groups in battleground states. We say NOPE to those who threaten our democracy.
We’re an all-volunteer organization based in Washington, D.C., but our reach is nationwide.
We are not giving in to despair or defeatism. Together, we will cultivate hope and continue to say NOPE to those who threaten our democracy. Our courage, energy, and belief in a better future will help us keep fighting.
"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."
— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
