How Do We Build a Durable Progressive Majority?

If we play our cards right, we can create a new normal where we reliably win federal elections by multiple percentage points, enact policies that reflect our values, and rebuild our country with a more sustainable and inclusive vision.

This is not a real electoral college map (yet) – but it could be if we stay in this for the long haul.

Let’s take a step back and look at the much bigger picture. 

Here is the strategic proposition at the heart of MVP’s approach:

  1. To get to a just, sustainable society, we need transformative policy change.
  2. To win this policy change, we need a durable progressive elected majority to enact and protect it, and durable public support to back it up.
  3. To gain this durable elected majority and public support, we need to build lasting progressive political power.
  4. To build lasting power, we need to organize the New American Majority (voters of color and young voters) — as well as native, LGBTQ+, immigrant, working-class, rural, and other marginalized communities — who can swing the closest elections.
  5. To organize this constituency, we need to sustainably scale up the grassroots organizations that comprise the voter engagement field.

This is a project that spans multiple election cycles, and the 2024 election is a pivotal moment in the plan.

If we play our cards right, we can create a new normal where we reliably win federal elections by multiple percentage points, enact policies that reflect our values, and rebuild our country with a more sustainable and inclusive vision.

The best thing each of us can do now? 

Invest in 2023, so we can win big in 2024.

Thank you for your partnership.
