our “why?”

We know that our partner states are traditionally under-resourced, excluded, and ignored by the national political establishment. But we also know that long-term investment in these communities is the best way to fight for justice and turn the tides on anti-democracy laws and policies. Community organizers, advocates, and activists are working year-round and showing their resilience, passion, and energy – they are changing the political trajectory of their states and in turn their states are changing the political trajectory of our nation. [Groundwork Project] Groundwork Project’s end of year deadline is on Saturday and I’m tracking our budget carefully. Our team has already pledged over $2 million to hyper-local organizations in our partner states and have plans to deliver on even more in 2023. But after an intense year on the ground we are facing a gap in our budget, and I'm concerned we will need to remove some line items before the new year. That’s why I’m reaching out to you, {NAME}, as a trusted, committed supporter of Groundwork Project. We have to raise another $21,542 by Saturday at midnight. [If a majority of you gave even $25 we would have the steady momentum to close the budget gap. Can Joe and I count on you?]( [DONATE TODAY]( We know that our partner states are traditionally under-resourced, excluded, and ignored by the national political establishment.

Help Groundwork Project close our budget gap and keep every program funded in 2023.
