2025-2026 STRATEGY

Win the midterms, seize the long term.

We can win 2026, pull back from authoritarianism, and build toward a Progressive Era — but only if we fund a movement powerful, popular, and compelling enough to win hearts, minds, and majorities.

Problem: The right has funded and built a stronger movement.

Right-wing funders have steadily set the stage to win governing power and policy change by building:

Grassroots power through groups like Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute.
Cultural power through groups like PragerU, Teneo, and a sprawling online media ecosystem.
Institutional power via Heritage, The Federalist Society, ALEC, CPI, and a Trump-ified GOP.

Solution: Fund a bold, big-tent progressive movement that can win.

To stop authoritarianism, win majorities, and deliver progress long-term, we must invest now to:

Build state-level power through year-round organizing in every key state around the country.
Scale up new media organizing to shape worldviews and win hearts and minds en masse.
Embolden Democrats to fight for bold, popular agendas that can win back voters we’ve lost.
