THE LOS ANGELES GIVING CIRCLE
This year, we’re going to face existential battles on the federal level. But no matter what happens in DC, victories can still be won in the states, and those victories should not be discounted. That is why we at HODG helped form, and continue to support, THE STATES PROJECT through the LA Giving Circle. I encourage you all to join our 2024 Kickoff Zoom. Melissa Walker and Daniel Squadron from The States Project will both be there to fill us in on this year’s strategies and remind us why this is such a powerful place to put your dollars.
Last year the LAGC raised $100,000 for Virginia's off-cycle election, helping Democrats not only maintain their hold on the State Senate, but FLIP the House of Delegates. That win will help preserve reproductive rights in that region.
On the national stage, The States Project was recently acknowledged by the New York Times as a force to be reckoned with. That's because of groups like the LAGC which has raised over $785,000 in the past four years, 100 percent of which went directly to targeted state legislative races in Texas, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, and Virginia, enabling Democrats there to preserve majorities, flip seats, and even flip houses.
Now is time to join the LAGC by making your 2024 contribution. Why donate now? Because a group of generous donors have pledged to match up to $500,000, raised between January 12 and March 4, 2024. Plus, early money is always the most useful to the campaigns as they set their strategies, budgets, and staffing. Also, if you donate early, you can help us select which states we will be supporting this year.
But first, come to the kick off zoom. Get re-engaged, and re-inspired. All the cool kids are doing it.
