Zo Tobi is the communications director at the Movement Voter Project, which is like a mutual fund that invests in trusted organizers building progressive power, especially in swing states. The group recently sent a Bat Signal warning that the local ground game is badly underfunded.
You probably have the same thought many people did when I shared this: HOW THE HELL CONSIDERING HOW MUCH HARRIS IS RAISING?
I asked Zo that. He has a great answer.
And Movement Voter Project has an excellent answer for how we stop having to save democracy every four years. The answer is that we save it every year, all the time. The Movement Voter Project makes that easy and smart, and it's a sin not to do it because it’s so easy and smart.
That’s why I’m launching the last earlyworm fundraiser of the year. We will try to raise $20,024 for the Movement Voter Project, which they will send out to these local organizers who are the best hope not only to win in November but to keep democracy alive for the rest of this century. I’m setting up a monthly donation right after this podcast, and my homework is all done, and my daughter is off to ballet. And I hope you’ll do the same.
Catch up on all the episodes of “How are you feeling about democracy?” here.
