Lots of folks new to politics are engaging in this election -- YAY, WELCOME! :-) But you might realize that your ability to donate smoothly, volunteer effectively, or even run for office depends on YEARS of infrastructure investment. https://twitter.com/newmediaventure/status/1321879492013355008">https://twitter.com/newmediav...
That& #39;s why I& #39;m so proud to work at @newmediaventure -- we fund early-stage progressive innovation that goes on to scale to MASSIVE impact. And we do it year in and year out. The groups we funded 2-4 years ago are engaging literally hundreds of millions of voters this year.
We summarized the awe-inspiring work 9 of those groups are doing this year: @BallotReady, @wearepushblack, @SpreadTheVoteUS, @swingleft, @Sister_District, @runforsomething, @OutreachCircle, @HelloCTCL, @movementcoop. I& #39;m proud to be in community w/ them. https://www.newmediaventures.org/tools_for_change/details/leaving-it-all-on-the-field-the-nmv-portfolio-and-the-2020-elections">https://www.newmediaventures.org/tools_for...
Let& #39;s leave it all on the field in the next 5 days, and then after the BIG Biden victory I see coming, let& #39;s all get some rest. But defeating Trump isn& #39;t the end of the road, it& #39;s the beginning: Rebuilding our democracy is going to take years.
Beating Trump this year isn& #39;t enough. We need to make sure that another Trump isn& #39;t possible. And for that, we need to invest in innovation year-in and year-out -- as these examples from our portfolio show, investment in progressive entrepreneurs really pays off 2-4 years later.
If you want to have maximum impact on the 2024 cycle, you should be throwing your chips down in 2021 -- not in the fall of 2024. And @newmediaventure will be leading the way. So after we& #39;ve all had a post-election break, will you join us in investing the future of the movement?
