Our Issues:

We seek out candidates and leaders who share a compelling vision for America with strong progressive issues in mind such as:

• Universal healthcare coverage, most especially for our children
• Fair taxes and social responsibility
• Corporate accountability
• A quality public education for all children
• Good jobs, living wages, and secure pensions
• Civil and human rights
• A clean and sustainable environment with conservation of our natural resources
• Clean and fair election laws enabling maximum voter participation

Our Methods:

Founded to give progressive and populist candidates the support they need to win elections, 21st Century Democrats has grown to become one of the largest grassroots-oriented political action committees in the nation. We combine a commitment to progressive values with extensive field organizing experience, bringing together two critical components of Democratic success.

21st Century Democrats is one of the few political action committees in the nation that contributes highly trained grassroots organizers to progressive candidates and campaigns. Our training program is one of the most effective in the nation, and we continue to develop programs for all levels of involvement. Our trained organizers run sophisticated field plans that rely on targeted voter contact, making the difference in tough races. The results are clear: we win the majority of our campaigns.

We choose tough races—races that other political action committees shy away from because they’re hard to win. We are guided by the core Democratic values that put people first.
