We are Neighbors Organizing for Power and Equality. We direct support to Democratic candidates and to grassroots organizing allies in battleground states. We curate volunteer opportunities, advise donors, reach out on social media, and share opportunities to resist the current regime.
We’re an all-volunteer organization based in Washington, D.C., but our reach is nationwide.
Join us for NOPE Neighbors’ 2026 kick-off meeting featuring Timothy Snyder, who will share his insight on our current political situation and saving our democracy.
Snyder is a celebrated author and historian focusing on Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. On Tyranny, first published in 2017 as a roadmap for resisting authoritarianism, remains at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Snyder also appears frequently as a news commentator and publishes a widely read newsletter.
We will also share our political strategy for winning the midterms – flipping the House and reaching for the Senate. We’ll update you on our new slate of grassroots allies, who are already working to organize essential and underrepresented voters in battleground states. You will have an opportunity to support these allies and our first slate of targeted U.S. House candidates. We’ll also discuss opportunities for political action. Sign up today, bring a friend, and use the Mobilize prompt to share this event with your network.
In 2025 we supported successful Democratic candidates and pivoted to resist the Trump administration. More specifically, we:
Supported state Supreme Court candidates in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and state legislature candidates in Virginia. We had enormous success— every candidate we supported with donations or volunteers hours won. Thanks to all of you who canvassed, called, wrote and donated. Your time and dollars did make a difference.
Responded to alarming threats to democracy by reviewing and publishing weekly advice on resistance options, setting up a Signal chat, and joining marches, vigils and boycotts across the Washington, D.C. area.
In 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.)
Take aim at turning the Senate blue. (Yes, it’s a reach - but our democracy needs it.)
Expand and improve our recommendations for actions you can take to turn out and protect the vote — essential in 2026.
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 slayings of ICE protesters in Minnesota.
Join us! Read our bulletins, attend our meetings, and check out our calendar for specific opportunities to defend democracy. Send a message here if you’d like to join our Signal chat for rapid alerts on opportunities in the D.C. area.
We selected these groups after months of 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.
