Where will the next Democratic critical mass erupt from a red area?

I've been spreading the word about It Starts Today because it is a nice add on to whatever more focussed group(s) we want to support. They divide their money equally among the 438 (?? I might have that number wrong) Democratic candidates. It's appealing to me because who knows where a critical mass of Democrats might erupt in a red area if given enough financial support AND just plain attention?

Here's an e-mail I got from them today.

It’s been a month since It Starts Today launched, and what an incredible month it’s been. Because you're one of the donors at the forefront of our movement to take Congress away from Trump and his Republican enablers, I wanted to share some of our most exciting developments with you:

•NBC News highlighted It Starts Today as one of the leading ways to resist Trump through tech.


•Business Insider hailed our grassroots movement to help Democrats win back seats in Congress.


•WIRED Magazine talked up how It Starts Today can help save the Democratic Party.


•Bustle pegged us as one of the ways to fight Trump in his first hundred days.


But the fact we’re proudest is that, thanks to you—and more than a thousand donors like you—It Starts Today has already raised almost $300,000 for Democratic candidates in 2018. We’re thrilled that our movement is getting such positive attention from the press, but that means nothing without your support. We’re so, so honored that you believe if what we’re trying to accomplish.

If all of this is as exciting to you as it is to us, will you share It Starts Today on Facebook or Twitter?

Word of mouth makes a huge difference—we need every day between now and 2018 to empower our nominees to fight back.

Thanks again. You’re making big things happen.
