Flip the Vote wants to acknowledge the support, generosity, and hard work of our community during this presidential election cycle. We are taking a break to regroup and will be in touch in early 2025 with our updated strategy. In the meantime, our partners are still hard at work and in need of continued investment. No off years in relational organizing!
Approach
The 2024 federal election is on a razor’s edge, and Flip the Vote is working to win Democratic control of all three branches of the federal government while simultaneously guarding against the worst-case scenario of unified GOP control.
We focus on key battleground states that will likely determine the presidency and that also have crucial upcoming U.S House and U.S Senate races.
Supporting grassroots groups in key states
Within our target states, we recommend investing in carefully selected grassroots groups working year-round in their local communities to engage people who have been neglected by the political process. By building trusting relationships, these groups activate community members to get politically involved on issues they care about and to vote for Democratic candidates. Our partner groups also combat voter suppression by alerting their communities to any changes in registration and voting rules.
Relational organizing
What these groups do is called relational organizing, which studies demonstrate is a highly effective way to turn out reluctant voters while building lasting electoral strength and leadership in communities that have been sidelined for too long. Donating to our recommended partner groups is a strategic investment because they register and inspire millions of voters who tip elections up and down the ballot, from the presidency to local races.
Get involved
With Flip the Vote, donors and volunteers work together to strengthen democracy. Anyone who wants to get involved can join Flip the Vote’s efforts by donating to our recommended partner groups or by attending or hosting a virtual or in-person house party. We provide a simple and enjoyable process to spread the word.
“We want to turn a non voter into a voter, then want that voter to understand the roles and responsibilities of the office they are voting for, and then we talk about our candidate. By structuring conversations in this way, it allows us to not come into the conversation with an agenda and to be there to listen.”
