ALL ON THE LINE
We’re on a mission to end gerrymandering and restore fairness to our elections and democracy. Because every American should have an equal say in our government. One person. One vote. Whether you care about providing access to affordable health care, reducing the gun violence that plagues our schools and communities, protecting voting rights, achieving equal pay, or solving the urgent threat of climate change, there is a fundamental structural barrier that prevents progress: rigged electoral maps drawn with surgical precision by politicians to preserve their party’s political power and silence the will of the people.
https://allontheline.org/

All Voting is Local
The All Voting is Local campaign fights to protect and expand the right to vote for every American. We know systemic barriers stand between eligible voters and the ballot. We know what works. We fight to solve problems and ensure all voters have access to the ballot, no matter who they are, where they live, or the hours they work. We know communities of color and other historically disenfranchised voters have faced needless barriers to the ballot. And that making voting easier for everyone strengthens our democracy. We know together we can expand access to the ballot so that every voter in every community has a voice.

Field Team 6
Register Democrats.
Save the World.
PROBLEM
Against all odds, we won the White House, House, and Senate – saved America’s life – and bought ourselves two years of oxygen. Yet our democracy hangs by a thread. History says we will lose control of Congress in the midterms. So there’s only one thing to do… Defy history.
To do that, we need to save the Senate – save the House – and win down-ballot along the way.
BUT HOW?
SOLUTION
The solution is as simple as it is powerful: talking to strangers. It’s the proven #1 way to win elections. Did you know that 60% of unregistered voters have never been asked to register?
To win in 2022, we register Democrats where they’ll make the most impact – in the most flippable states and districts, where small numbers of Democrats can swing elections up and down the ballot.

Hometown Action
There’s Power in Small Towns
We are drawn to small towns for the strong community they provide. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or new arrival, Alabama’s small communities offer a place to put down deep roots. But increasingly our communities are under attack by corporate interests that run local shops out of business, shutter our hospitals, and pollute our rivers, providing only unstable poverty-wage jobs in return. Politicians in Montgomery have taken away our right to local control, cut funding for our schools, and do nothing to create opportunities for young people who are forced to leave their hometowns to find work. Hometown Action is a power-building collective of small town Alabamians fighting to build inclusive and sustainable communities where all residents can thrive. We know residents offer the best solutions to local problems. Together we can build the multiracial working class power we need to take back our communities. Join the small town movement

JOIN THE UNION
Help Save Our Democracy
Do you want to help Save American Democracy, but don’t know where to start?
Join the Union if you believe:
***It’s time for every American who believes in our democracy to get in the fight to save it.
***Threats to our democracy are growing and becoming more dangerous as we approach the 2022 elections.
***That Donald Trump ordered the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol to overturn a free and fair election…and Republicans are still trying to return him to power, even if they resort to violence.
***That urgent action is needed at the state and local level to overcome Republican plans to destroy voting rights and civil rights.
***That a Republican takeover of the House and Senate is a takeover by people loyal to Trump, not America.
Therefore we resolve to join together regardless of past differences to preserve our Union, our Republic, and our democracy.
“This nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
President Abraham Lincoln – November 19, 1863

Let America Vote
We have a voting problem in America. Voting in our country has never been easy, but there’s a new challenge: Politicians are trying to stop Americans from voting because of who they are likely to vote for in an election. Extreme voter suppression laws that disproportionately impact people based on their race or ethnicity, gender, age, or income have started popping up all over the country. If we don’t fight back, more and more Americans will become disenfranchised. SEE WHAT WE’RE DOING

Some issues are not left versus right, but right versus wrong.
Repairers of the Breach is a nonpartisan 501 (c) 3 tax exempt not-for-profit organization that seeks to build a moral agenda rooted in a framework that uplifts our deepest moral and constitutional values to redeem the heart and soul of our country. We challenge the position that the preeminent moral issues are prayer in public schools, abortion, and property rights. Instead, we declare that the moral public concerns of our faith traditions are how our society treats the poor, women, LGBTQ people, children, workers, immigrants, communities of color, and the sick. Our deepest moral traditions point to equal protection under the law, the desire for peace within and among nations, the dignity of all people, and the responsibility to care for our common home.

#StopTheBans
Across the country, we are seeing a new wave of extreme bans on abortion, stripping away reproductive freedom and representing an all-out assault on abortion access. This is Trump’s anti-choice movement… and it’s terrifying, particularly for women of color and low-income women who are most affected by these bans. We will show up to speak out and fight back against this unconstitutional attempt to gut Roe and punish women. Politicians shouldn’t be making decisions best left to women, their families, and their doctors. Together we say: Stop the bans.

We have traveled across this country and listened to countless Americans who are left out. More often than not these folks live in rural America. We have built a coalition of over 600 county parties in over 40 states, many of which have been overrun by the Republican onslaught. Our vision is to create a united platform that highlights the issues facing rural America. The Democratic Party is the party of prosperity and with leaders from FDR to LBJ, we have made this country work better for all Americans. But we still have a ways to go, as most rural people are left out of the political equation. We will support local candidates and causes to bring about a renewal in rural communities, achieve good representation in state houses, and remind Washington of the America they’ve neglected. It won’t be easy and we won’t win every race. But with hope and a little elbow grease, we will make the Rural America that fuels our country as great a place to grow old as anywhere else.
