We conduct thorough electoral research and engage voters of all perspectives to help increase turnout.
Taking Action
-
WelcomeFest
July 2024
WelcomeFest convened hundreds of self-identified members of the Center-Left faction of the Democratic Party. This inaugural event highlighted our faction's winning energy, talent, data, and messaging from the prominent moderate leaders we champion.
-
WelcomePAC
Launched August 2021
In 2022, we supported leaders who reached out to independents and moderate Republicans to put undervalued red districts into play in Ohio, California, and Colorado. In 2024, we’re taking the fight for our democracy to more battlegrounds nationwide.

Win the Middle
Launched January 2023
We’re compiling an online resource with analysis on what it takes for Democrats to win swing voters, flip red districts, and compete everywhere to secure a sustainable governing majority and save our democracy.

Welcome Ohio
July & August 2021
We launched a nonpartisan GOTV initiative to rally and engage young voters ahead of the special election primary in Ohio’s 11th Congressional district on August 3rd, 2021.
-
Clyburn Day
April 2021
We celebrated the anniversary of Whip Jim Clyburn’s tide-shifting endorsement of Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 South Carolina Democratic presidential primary as a pragmatic model for the future of our party.
-
Independent Voter Engagement
December 2019 - March 2020
By talking with independent voters and not just about them, we worked to drive increased turnout in the 2020 New Hampshire and South Carolina Democratic primaries and, in doing so, make our democracy more representative.
We support a big-tent Democratic Party that is strong and focused on solving problems.
Research and Analysis

Democracy Conceded
January 2023
During the 2022 cycle, our quarterly “Conceding Democracy” reports highlighted 21 flippable red districts where Democrats were at risk of conceding to Republicans by not fielding a credible challenge. We revisited these districts in the aftermath of the midterms to see how Democrats fared.
