Tonight proved that #TeamPete had a grassroots infrastructure that was strong, organized, & ready.

The Marathon States program @PeteForAmerica didn’t just organize. We built community through belonging. Our volunteers built real connections.

Here’s what we accomplished:
We IDed, trained, and worked with 848 volunteer leaders in non-early states, some who are campaign veterans and many that were finding their voice in this space for the first time.
Those volunteer leaders led more than 50,000 active volunteers nationwide in weekly organizing activities not just in support of Pete, but in service to their community through monthly service projects with local organizations creating the world we want to live in.
Together, our volunteers hosted nearly 6,000 events in Marathon States over the last few months. Events that lived our values, the rules of the road, and ultimately built a community that's bigger than one election or one candidate.
Our grassroots strength was on full display through our ballot access program that ultimately collected 70,000 signatures to get Pete on the ballot nationwide. In many of the states our volunteers collected in, we were the first to file.
We set up our organizing infrastructure to be ready for the delegates race. 100% of congressional districts (senate districts for TX) have volunteer teams mobilized in Super Tuesday and March 10 states.

92% of congressional districts nationwide have volunteer teams mobilized.
Whether you are #PeteToBiden, #ForeverTeamPete, a mix, or somewhere in between, you have so much to be proud of.

Keep organizing and I promise we will #WinTheEra
