This is hard to do but it’s not rocket science: The next DNC chair needs to invest in year-round local organizing in all 50 states (& in both urban/rural areas) & set a tone for working w/ grassroots groups. Donors need to fund it in Jan 2021 (or now), not in Sept 2022.
That organizing should be both IRL (when safe) & online. The tech should be stable & accessible. Messaging & outreach should be driven by locals who know their communities. The DNC & state parties should exist to make Democrstic electeds, candidates, & vols’ lives easier.
The DNC has come a longggg way since 2016 (and 2014, and way before that.) The team there has rebuilt an A+ foundation. Now that they’re no longer starting from scratch, they can reorient with a longterm focus on organizing & infrastructure. Can’t wait to see it happen.
If you’d like to hear more about where I think the Democratic Party needs to go next tactically, we talked thru 11 principles we’d suggest for what’s next on last week’s podcast episode. (Spoiler: “local, diverse, fearless, & sustained” is the gist.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/run…
One final thought: Everything I've said in this thread is baked into how @runforsomething operates. (Build the thing you wish to see, so they say.) If you like this, you'd love being a @runforsomething recurring donor. secure.actblue.com/donate/rfs?ref…
