Help make key states competitive: Support Hopium's Audacious Expansion Fund

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/hopiumexpansionfund

Invest in building strong party infrastructures in five state Democratic Parties - Alaska, Iowa, Florida, Maine, and Texas - that are expansion opportunities for us next year and into the future.

The goal is $250,000, with more than $87,000 raised to date.

There is also a fantastic interview with Alaska's chair at the link. Simon has other great interviews the "audacious expansion" state chairs, as well as NC's, where the Hopium community has also made substantial investments

It gave me enormous hope that we can effectively engage people the Democratic party has considered out of reach for way too long , as well as people who have just opted out in hopelessness.

And the interviews with all other state party chairs are worth bookmarking -- so many insights, so much inspiring work, and so many reasons to go all in to build powerful state parties.

I am convinced that strong state parties can be the engine that drives victories locally, state-wide, and nationally. We CAN turn so-called "red" states in the south and west around! Serious investments now are where we begin.
