One PA is working to persuade and turn out Black voters in a must-win state. Here's a closer look at its work—and why donors should support this grassroots group with last-minute donations.

To carry this year’s most important swing state, Kamala Harris needs to catalyze high Black voter turnout and win these voters overwhelmingly. She has a powerful ally in this grassroots group.

For anyone still not tapped out: some last-minute donation options, with a focus on bolstering Harris with key constituencies.

Harris has a clear path to victory by improving her vote share with different groups of the electorate. Here’s how donors can target their last-minute contributions for maximum impact.

If Harris doesn't improve her standing among working-class voters, she's likely to lose the election. I spotlight an org...

If Harris doesn't improve her standing among working-class voters, she's likely to lose the election. I spotlight an organizing group working on this challenge that donors can still support with last-minute funding.

To win key battleground states, Harris needs to increase her support among working-class voters—at least matching Biden's 2020 performance. A top voter engagement group is on the case.

No Democratic presidential candidate has won white women since 1964. But Biden came close in 2020, and if Harris improves on that performance, she'll win the election. Galvanize Action is working to make that happen.

Harris is not where she needs to be with white women, who are the single largest slice of the electorate and make up close to half of all voters in the Blue Wall states. This group is working to close the gap.

Small donors have more power in politics than ever before. The reasons include very close elections, where money can make a bigger difference, and better options for donors to have an impact.

Polls show that Harris is still lagging with 18-29-year-olds, who Biden won by 25 points in 2020. Donors can help here by supporting a key hub for youth organizing.

Harris will struggle to win without strong youth turnout and a high vote share among this group. But that's not a given. Backing a crucial national hub for youth electoral work is one way that donors can help.

Polls show that Harris is struggling to match Biden's 2020 margins in rural and working-class areas and also lock down key Democratic constituencies, including Blacks and Latinos. I look at voting groups focusing on these challenges.

Polls show that Harris is still struggling to compete in rural and working-class areas, and also lock down key Democratic constituencies, including Blacks and Latinos. Here's where donors can give.

Democrats urgently need to flip the House and have a good chance to do so. But it's not a given, which is why donors should support GOTV work in key districts. Here's how to do that.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson could take a number of steps to sabotage certification of a Harris victory on January 6. That's why donors should prioritze supporting groups working to flip the House.

Young voters helped Biden win Georgia in 2020. To make that happen again, Blue Tent recommends donating to the Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, the top youth electoral group in the state.

Voter turnout will likely decide the outcome in Georgia and, more specifically, whether low-propensity Democratic voters cast ballots. No group may matter more in this regard than young people.

Even as the Harris-Walz Campaign raises record sums of money, critical pieces of the Democratic ground game remain dangerously underfunded, according to a Blue Tent analysis.
