From the Beltway to Your Backyard: The DNC's New Organizing Vision

DNC Chair Ken Martin released a memorandum laying out his vision for the seven organizing principles of the DNC

Happy Tuesday!

Last week, Kate from the DNC’s Organizing Team shared a special edition of The Blue Print, highlighting the DNC’s plan to get out of the Beltway. Then, DNC Chair Ken Martin released a memorandum laying out his vision for the seven organizing principles of the DNC centered on organizing early, organizing always, organizing everywhere, and winning everywhere. If you’re interested in learning more about Democrats’ plan to organize everywhere to win everywhere, I highly recommend giving it a read!

The DNC’s aggressive investment in organizing shouldn’t come as a surprise. In his first few months as DNC chair, Chair Martin has consistently emphasized the importance of reaching people nationwide 365 days a year, not just in the weeks leading up to an election.

To do that, we need to ensure we’re using the best resources available. That’s why the DNC also recently announced the launch of a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify tools that best align with our needs and goals, including voter and volunteer system databases. Arthur Thompson, the DNC’s Chief Technology Officer, provided more details about this process in the DNC Tech Team’s newsletter.

As we know, there’s no such thing as a non-partisan election. Republicans are running for every office — and often winning — because too many races go uncontested. It’s crucial for Democrats across the country to step up, run, and win!

DNC Hosts Tax Day Press Call on Trump and MAGA GOP’s Tax Scam

We’ve heard from grassroots supporters that the DNC should hold press briefings to draw attention to Donald Trump’s dangerous actions, and we’re doing exactly that!

Last week, the DNC hosted a press call on Tax Day with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, DNC Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta, former Chief Economist of the United States Department of Labor Heidi Shierholz, and Kirsten Grady — an American who’s been impacted by Trump’s harmful policies.

On the call, participants discussed the impact of Trump’s economic agenda and how Trump promised to lower costs on day one but is instead setting Americans’ dollars on fire, skyrocketing costs, and putting the economy on the verge of a “Trump recession.” It’s essential that Democratic leaders and community members speak out about the harm the Trump administration is doing. We cannot let their lies go unchecked.

Initiatives like these are only possible with your feedback and support. We’re always reading comments and ideas from grassroots supporters, whose constructive input helps guide the Party’s efforts and ensures we’re addressing the issues that matter most.
