This year, @OnwardTogether was able to give more than $2.5 million in funding and grants to organizations fighting to make our country a better place.
I'm deeply inspired by what our partners have achieved this year. I think you will be too, so here's a report-back:
-

Three candidates that
@iVoteFund supported for Secretary of State won—all pick-ups, all young women, all Democrats. And they were able to raise and invest $7 million in Secretary of State races, their most ever.Show this thread -
.
@ColorOfChange PAC’s#VotingWhileBlack program reached more than 5 million voters, and now African Americans have a new cohort of officeholders at both the local and state level.Show this thread -
.
@VotoLatino registered thousands of voters through online digital ads and targeting, peer-to-peer outreach through their local chapters, and national partner engagement. In Texas, where Voto Latino has had a program since 2010, early votes surpassed 2014 totals by 149%.Show this thread -
.
@ArenaSummit supported 54 candidates in the 2018 election cycle, and 27 of their candidates on the ballot won their elections. Their 2018 New York candidates went 7 for 9—ensuring Democrats defeated the IDC, took back the N.Y. State Senate, and won a majority in the U.S. House.Show this thread -
In two years,
@RunforSomething has recruited 28,000 young, diverse progressives who want to run for office and elected more than 200 of them to local office in 40 states. In 2018, their candidates were 3 of the 12 Texas House pick-ups and 3 of the 11 Florida House pick-ups.Show this thread -
In 2018,
@LatinoVictoryUS increased their endorsed candidates 500% over the previous year. Of their 58 candidates, 43 candidates won, bringing their 2018 win rate to a whopping 74%. The number of Democratic Latina members of Congress nearly doubled.Show this thread -
For many campaigns,
@SwingLeft was the wave. On average, for their top 15 campaigns, Swing Left drove more than 50% of their canvassing shifts. More than 60,000 volunteers knocked an estimated 5 million doors and made 2.5 million phone calls.Show this thread -
Five
@EmergeAmerica alumni are headed to Congress, and 145 were elected to state legislatures. Emerge alums also helped put an end to the Republican supermajorities in the Michigan and Pennsylvania senates.Show this thread -
There was a 10-point increase in youth turnout from 2014 to 2018, due in part to the hard work done by
@Alliance4Youth. More than 30% of young people voted in 2018! In Chicago, young people outperformed all other generations on Election Day for the first time ever.Show this thread -
As we finalize our plans for 2019 and beyond, I'm feeling grateful and proud to work alongside these smart, passionate partners. As ever, you can learn more about our work and help support it at http://onwardtogether.org . Onward to 2019.
