Along with our sister committees and state parties, we were able to have Voter Protection Directors in 25 states and more than 100 total voter protection staff on the ground ahead of Election Day.

Excited to announce we’re making the largest investment in Democratic state parties in history.

At a minimum, we’re investing $23 million in state parties to build the critical infrastructure we need to win in 2022 and beyond. We’re not just focusing our investments in states where Democrats typically win. We're launching the Red State Fund, a $2 million investment in largely Republican-led states to bring the fight to the GOP while they’re fighting amongst themselves.

There is no doubt that big tech companies like @Google, @Twitter, and @facebook need to take significant steps to regulate political advertising, which has gone completely unchecked in recent years, enabling the spread of disinformation. However, a blanket ban on all political advertising is a cop-out that fails to combat disinformation and harms voters’ ability to participate in our democracy, affecting voters of color in particular.
