Sustainer Campaign
As we begin to plan our next steps for action and to work with municipal candidates to offer support, it is vitally important that we have enough funding to do all the work that needs to be done! Please dig deep if you can, even a $10 monthly donation helps us fund the work we do together. If you can afford more – $25, $50 or even $100 – we can think about bigger action: billboards, print, digital and radio ads! Any donation amount is welcome and appreciated and if monthly is not feasible right now – a one time donation goes a long way too. So far we have $430 in monthly donations with less than a dozen donors – I KNOW we can build on that! – Susan. (To donate, click here)

Y’all, we’ve seen some bleak days recently. Today we want to pause and celebrate something big.
Across North Carolina, our local Democratic communities are more energized, more connected, and more organized than they’ve been in years.
This time last year, 1,479 training shifts had been completed. This year? 2,158. That’s triple the engagement from 2024. Volunteers are stepping up, learning new skills, and getting ready to win.
It’s only April and Democrats across North Carolina have already knocked over 120,000 doors – that’s 3 times more than at this point in 2024! Through our novel “Anytime Canvassing” program, volunteers are building grassroots power by having meaningful conversations with their neighbors about the issues that matter most.
That’s the heart and soul of this work, folks: people showing up for each other, across small towns and big cities. Precinct organizing won’t make headlines. You don’t get extra credit for completing a training shift. But we do it all because we believe in something better for all of us.
If you’ve knocked doors and made calls, organized your precinct, attended a training, or just talked to your friends and neighbors: thank you. This is what it looks like when a movement grows.
Let’s keep it going. From Anderson Clayton, NC Democratic Party Chair
