Taking Back America Requires ... Bucks
Specifically, a $150M effort from a coalition of progressive groups dedicated to electing the next Dem president.
"The conditions are present for not just simply a change election, but a sea change election, but that’s only possible if progressives organize and continue to struggle," said Toby Chaudhuri, communications director of the Campaign for America’s Future. The players involved are noting today that this is the largest collective voter mobilization effort ever. Usually, of course, these groups work in a related but not interactive way. This year, they're banding together. Critical for the Dems, especially if the nom fight goes to Denver.
The commitments from participating organizations, who have banded together to "Take Back America" --
AFL-CIO – $50M program, targeting labor households, of course
Women’s Voices Women’s Vote Action Fund – $30M, targeting single women
National Council of La Raza – Democracia USA -- $4M – $6M
ACORN – $35M, targeting households in communities of color
Rock the Vote – $10M
Move On – $30M
The groups' effort will be supplemented by related PAC activity -- to the tune of $200M
And Change To Win – $100M
