What Democratic Organization to give Donations To?

[bdamomma]

Geez just a quick question there are so many Democratic organizations to give to, I open up my e mail and they are all asking for donations.

DCCC, Democratic Training Committee and the list goes on and on.

Who would you suggest to give too?

1. I suggest start with local and regional groups. the DNC is a swamp, ignore it. and direct giving to

candidates is better than giving to organizations IMO

3. Start with your local party

Or your state party. It is still very early and while the DCCC does have an initial list of targeted districts, it is still early and no candidate has emerged.

If you want to make an impact THIS YEAR, there are only two states with statewide races this year and 1.5 legislative bodies up for election (NJ and VA. State House and State Senate in NJ, State House in VA). There's also a few legislative special elections coming up in DE and MN.

If you want to help build a bench, Emily's List is training a record number of pro-choice Democratic women to run for office at all levels.

5. It Starts Today

While I'm waiting for the best organizations to bubble up, I'm encouraging everyone to give just a little to this organization. They're dividing their money equally among all 468 Democratic candidates. This is attractive because it can provide the impetus for critical masses to develop in red areas. Who knows where that will be??? I did a tiny bit of research and it looks legit. Legit enough for me to donate, anyway.
