The New York Times just picked up “The Bat Signal memo,” MVP’s urgent call to action to invest in 2023 to win big in 2024.

Michelle Goldberg’s op-ed gives a clear-eyed look at the problem, then our memo gives the solution.

  1. Read the New York Times op-ed, then
  2. Read, share, and take action on our Bat Signal memo.

Key quotes + notes

  • “… organizations that should be building up their turnout operations for next year are instead having to downsize.” ⬅️ This is what we mean when we talk about the importance of early investment. 
  • “… if liberal lassitude is understandable, it’s also alarming, because we’re going to have to fend off Trump once again.” ⬅️ Yep. And we ignore Trump at our peril.
  • “… this is just a symptom of a bigger problem, which is that, right now, progressive politics are necessarily organized around preventing imminent catastrophe rather than offering up a vision of a transformed world.” ⬅️ This is where MVP comes in. Read the Bat Signal »
