Common Defense

$106,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Common Defense is uniting veterans from across the political spectrum to support Democratic incumbent Senator Jon Tester in Montana. The program targets persuadable military veterans who are likely voters, using a comprehensive, multi-channel approach. This includes direct mail, peer-to-peer texting, paid relational organizing, earned media, and digital ads featuring authentic, direct-to-camera testimonials from veterans. By leveraging social proof and tailored messaging that speaks directly to veterans, the campaign aims to mobilize these voters and emphasize the importance of supporting the Democratic ticket in a way that resonates with their unique values and experiences.

Empower Project

$685,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Empower has introduced an innovative digital promotion and micro-payment scheme that significantly enhances relational organizing—the gold standard in text communications. This approach enables Empower to achieve remarkable scalability that dramatically surpasses previous organizing efforts in this space. For every $100,000 invested, Empower generates on average 50,000 additional relational conversations in Presidential battlegrounds. This pay for action program recruits individuals to message their friends, family, and colleagues about the importance of voting in this election cycle. With the inundation of TV ads, mailers, texts, digital ads, and more in battleground states ($15B total spend estimated for the 2024 election), this is a tactic that can break through the noise and create a real impact in the presidential race.
