HOW WE WIN
Proven programs
Our mission is to rally Democrats to vote — but that’s about more than just winning each election.
All our work at Progressive Turnout Project is to build power for the long term. We’re here to share resources, implement strategy and offer our expertise for the advancement of Democrats (and democracy itself), cycle after cycle.
We focus on:
- Talent: Hiring, training, and fairly paying organizers who can run voter contact programs and help voters fight against suppression
- Data: Giving Democrats an edge in field with data, rigorously collected in the field and interpreted by experts
- Training: Not letting that knowledge evaporate after Election Day, sharing best practices with campaigns, and make the case for direct voter contact
- Innovation: Trying new tactics and messages to keep us on the frontier of field organizing, measuring what works, and making our programs as effective as possible per grassroots dollar
Beyond Field
Traditional door-to-door canvassing remains our bread and butter — because it works. Our field programs have increased voter turnout by up to 10.4%.
We’re also dedicated to innovation and finding new ways to reach new voters. We’re excited to build on recent successes in direct voter contact with these expanded programs:
- Turnout Fellows, powering federal and — for the first time — state legislative campaigns
- Postcards to Swing States, which empowered volunteers to send 21 million postcards directly to voters in 2020, and millions more to key 2022 Senate states
- New! A Community Mobilizer program, paying part-time mobilizers to reach out to their own personal networks
- New! Grassroots Grants of up to $250,000 each to support grassroots groups across the country with early funding for innovative voter outreach work
Our 2022 Roadmap
In addition to newly expanded Turnout Fellows and Postcards to Swing States programs, we’re already working on our time-tested field programs for key 2022 states.
Our target states include key Senate races in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania:
