Making sure you saw this ➡️FW: building something transformative

Did you see the email from Doug Jones earlier this week? As a former Senator from Alabama, Doug has seen exactly what is at stake, which is why I’m so proud to have his voice on our side. We have some big plans for this summer, but we need to hit this goal before we can finalize our plans. We need to raise $44,323 more before Friday at midnight. [Can I ask you to give $50 (our average contribution) today?]( More from Doug Jones below! Thank you, Joe -- Joe Kennedy (he/him) Founder Groundwork Project ----------forwarded message---------- Dear Groundwork Project Supporters, I’m Doug Jones — former Senator for Alabama, most recently the White House Nomination Advisor for the Supreme Court, and a big fan of Groundwork Project. Joe called me about a year ago with his idea: An organization that could help funnel some of the millions upon millions upon millions that Democrats spend every election cycle into the places that our Party likes to overlook. And he didn't want to spend that money on candidates or campaigns, but on the folks working year-round in these communities to build something sustainable, not flash-in-the-pan. I was excited because it was the perfect compliment to my own project, EveryVoice, which will focus on voter engagement in the South. Joe understands what anyone from a state like Alabama knows far too well: Democrats' failure to build durable, long-term political infrastructure in so-called red states is downright dangerous, allowing the GOP to take over courts, school committees, election offices, and state legislatures across the country. Joe and Groundwork Project are building something transformative. [I’m asking you to donate and be a part of it with us.]( You know about the first partner states — Mississippi, West Virginia, Oklahoma, and my home state of Alabama. You know about the grantees — United Women of Color, Black Voter Impact Initiative, the Mississippi Workers’ Center, and many others. What you probably don’t know is that in addition to all of that, Joe and the Groundwork Project team are putting countless hours of behind-the-scenes work to meet people where they are, earn trust and help build lasting organizing and donor infrastructure. He and I had dinner in Birmingham while he was in town recently and talked about all of the incredible organizers, activists, and local leaders he was meeting all across the state – trying to connect resources, spotlight great work, and offer any support he can. The South has not had an easy road, politically. But with folks like Groundwork Project in the room, I think we have a bright future ahead of us. GWP’s next fundraising deadline is Friday at midnight.
