The Strategy
Multi-Level Coordination
Elections don't happen in isolation. Congressional, state house, state senate, and local races all overlap—and so should our organizing.
Federal
Congressional Races
Open seats and competitive primaries where progressive candidates can win with targeted investment.
State
State Legislature
State house and senate races that determine redistricting, voting rights, and policy.
Local
County & City
Commissioner, city council, and school board races that build the bench and local power.
The Relational Organizing Multiplier
Relational organizing delivers 12x the contact impact, 5x the value per volunteer hour, and 3x bang for your buck compared to traditional canvassing. When volunteers reach their own networks, the trusted messenger effect transforms every conversation.
Proven in Georgia 2021 (160K voter network in 1 month), Texas 2022 (1.8M relational IDs), nationwide 2024, and Zohran Mamdani's historic NYC victory with 104K volunteers. Low-propensity voters see +9.5-11.1% turnout effect; young voters 18-29 see +7-9%.
Smart Coordination, Not Duplication
We assess existing organizations in each region. Where they're competent, we coordinate. Where they're not, we build.
Strong orgs have it covered
Work together, don't duplicate
Fill specific gaps
Create our own infrastructure
The Foundation
Strategic Voter File Infrastructure
The single greatest asset for the progressive movement: a unified, modeled voter file with advertising IDs—shared across allied organizations.
Why We Need Our Own Data Modeling
The DNC and traditional party infrastructure control voter data—and they don't share it with progressive challengers. Every cycle, our candidates start from scratch while establishment incumbents have decades of voter contact history.
We build our own models. We match our own advertising IDs. We share with our allies.
Proprietary Data Modeling
Build predictive models for progressive turnout, persuasion, and issue alignment—independent of party infrastructure.
- Progressive propensity scores
- Issue-based voter clusters
- Turnout likelihood models
- Persuasion universe targeting
Advertising ID Matching
Link voter file records to mobile advertising IDs (MAIDs) for precise digital targeting across platforms.
- MAID-to-voter matching
- Cross-device identification
- Connected TV targeting
- Programmatic ad deployment
Allied Organization Sharing
Create a shared data commons where progressive organizations can pool resources and insights.
- Standardized data formats
- API access for partners
- Shared voter contact history
- Coordinated outreach calendars
The Data Pipeline
From raw voter files to actionable intelligence—fully independent of party control.

501(c)(4) Data Hub
Housed within a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization for maximum legal flexibility. Can engage in voter contact, issue advocacy, and share data with aligned groups.
- Master data sharing agreements
- Role-based access controls
- Audit trails & compliance
Model Outputs
Proprietary scores built on progressive values, not establishment priorities. Updated monthly with new voter contact data from all partner organizations.
- Progressive ID score (0-100)
- Issue cluster assignments
- Turnout propensity by election type
The Network Effect
Every organization that joins makes the data more valuable. Voter contacts from DSA feed insights for Justice Democrats. Working Families Party canvass data improves models for Sunrise endorsees. We all win together.

Why Multi-Channel Matters
AIPAC spent $100+ million in 2024 to defeat progressive candidates. They use every channel available. We need to match their intensity—but smarter. Our coordinated approach means a voter in IL-03 might see a digital ad, receive a text, get a mailer, and then have a neighbor knock on their door. That's how you win.

Delegate Strategy
The Path to Influencing the Democratic Platform
DNC delegates write the party platform, elect party leadership, and shape Democratic priorities for years. By organizing supporters to become delegates, we can influence policy from within—on healthcare, climate, foreign policy, and more.
Why Delegate Strategy Matters
Delegates vote on the official party platform at the national convention. This document shapes Democratic messaging and priorities for the next four years.
DNC delegates elect the party chair, vice chairs, and other leadership. These leaders control party resources, strategy, and endorsement processes.
Delegates set the rules for future primaries, including debate criteria, superdelegate influence, and the primary calendar—affecting who can win.
