The Basic Pitch
Local organizing wins pivotal elections, builds power that lasts, and fuels policy change — and if you want to fund local organizing, MVP makes it easy.
1. Local organizing wins elections.
Organizing groups deploy the local trusted messengers best equipped to mobilize the hardest-to-reach voters who can flip the closest elections.
2. Local organizing builds power that lasts.
Organizing groups work year-round on the ground to grow grassroots leadership and build political influence that grows year after year.
3. Local organizing fuels policy change.
Organizing groups mobilize their constituencies and push decision-makers to advance progressive policy change at every level of government.
4. MVP makes it easy to fund local organizing.
Like a “mutual fund” for voter organizing, MVP constantly monitors close races, vets groups, and calibrates funding for maximum impact.
