We know 2021 has been a rollercoaster of a year for many of us.

From the January 6th insurrection & the Biden-Harris inauguration at the beginning of the year to the signing of the historic infrastructure bill, you all have stood by our side through thick and thin.

The year began with our efforts in Georgia. Our ‘Grinches of Georgia’ ads played during the primetime Senate debate and received mainstream buzz from local media in Georgia as well as national media like MSNBC and CNN.

We blanketed the state in matching billboards and sent mailers to registered voters. We worked with a veteran and small business owner in Georgia to drive a tour bus around the state promoting positive Democratic messaging.

Then, we mobilized canvassers on the ground to knock on doors in more rural areas of the state typically left ignored. We knew every vote would matter. And it did. Turnout increased from the general election in every county we canvassed by 2-3%.

We were humbled to complement the efforts of the incredible Black and Brown organizers on the ground who led the way. And in the face of adversity–we won. We took the Senate.

But we were barely given a moment to celebrate.

The following day, we witnessed one of the most horrific attacks ever to take place on American soil. An attack on the American experiment itself. An attack that came from within. The Jan 6 insurrection.

No longer was our mission simply about defeating Republicans. Our job was to protect American democracy itself.

We sent billboards to the Capitol. Put pressure on until Trump was impeached for the 2nd time. And then, after weeks of uncertainty, President Biden was inaugurated.

For a short moment, we could celebrate. We took to the streets like never before. But our mission was far from over.

When Trump started his rallies back up, we proudly humiliated him, flying a plane over his Sarasota event that read ‘LoserPalooza.’

The plane made national news, rally-goers left, and the Secret Service called us to let us know that Trump was enraged. Good.thewrap.com/loser-palooza-…

We sent @waltermasterson to Trump’s rally in Ohio, who captured bored MAGAs leaving in droves. The clips were played on MSNBC by Brian Williams and others. Once again, Trump was humiliated.

We made viral videos with @BetteMidler to hold insurrectionists accountable. We made viral videos highlighting Ted Cruz’s trip to Cancún. We made a video targeting the law firm Jones Day for representing the GOP in their attempts to overturn the election.

And after it went viral, Jones Day and other law firms dropped their lawsuits. Big Law became too afraid to take on these anti-American cases. The only lawyers left were incompetent embarrassments like Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani.

Our next major challenge came in California. We took on the GOP establishment, launched a massive text message campaign, did incredible oppo-research against Larry Elder with the help of @patriottakes and @RzstProgramming and soundly defeated the GOP.

And through this all, we launched our media company @MeidasNetwork. Our podcasts became top shows in the country, knocking the right wing media off the charts: The MeidasTouch Podcast, Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen, Legal AF, The PoliticsGirl Podcast, Kremlin File and Zoomed In.

We released our first feature film, a satire called The Supporters created by the brilliant @TheGoodLiars. We made Meidas Merch into a movement, launching the first true pro-democracy apparel company. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
