What is MVP doing about the Democratic Party?
MVP is investing in grantee partners working to embolden Democrats to fight for bold, popular agendas that can win back voters we’ve lost.
We are specifically prioritizing investment in year-round organizing and movement-building groups working to:
- Expand the Base: Organize large, engaged voting constituencies who can push state and local Democratic parties and candidates to champion bold and broadly popular policy agendas.
- Shape the Narrative: Shift public opinion toward pragmatic progressive views and policies.
- Build the Bench: Recruit, train, and support bold candidates who fight for voters that Democrats need to win back.
- Deliver the Votes: Run robust electoral programs (coordinating with the party as allowed) that definitively tip the scales for state and local Democratic candidates and governing majorities.
- Co-Create the Agenda: Build close co-governance relationships with party leaders and elected leaders, starting at the local and state levels, and align on a unified vision and policy agenda.
- Strengthen Local Parties: Recruit organizers to run as party leaders and delegates, while also directly funding local parties to expand year-round organizing.
