Community Accolades

See what our members are saying and learn how to take action today!

"I feel like you guys have tapped into what we are all feeling, we want to help but don't really know where to start. I particularly like that everyone seems comfortable asking questions and it is reassuring to find that our questions are so similar. The fact that it isn't super "polished" and you all are very honest about what you know and don't know makes it less intimidating. I also like that you have actionable things like the letter writing and phone banking."

"First of all, congratulations!!!! Second, thank you for organizing all of those wonderful and informative programs. Your work helped inspire me to volunteer for the Democratic Party Voter Assistance Hotline for the past two months, to canvass in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, and to be a poll worker."
