 Long before I managed John Kerry's campaign for president or served as Senator Ted Kennedy's chief of staff, I worked as a field organizer. Organizing was my very first campaign job, and the skills I learned organizing on the ground were lessons I've carried with me through my entire career in Democratic politics. That's just one of the reasons I am asking you to support the DNC's groundbreaking new organizing strategy: Organizing Corps 2020. Organizing Corps 2020 is a first-of-its-kind program designed to recruit, train, and pay young people to work on the 2020 election, starting this summer. With a special focus on mentoring students from communities of color, this program will help provide our eventual Democratic nominee with as many as 1,000 homegrown field organizers -- a must if we hope to stand a chance against Trump and the RNC's organizing machine -- while providing Corps members an opportunity to build a strong foundation to kickstart their careers in politics. This program could mean the difference between victory and defeat in key battleground states, so your support will have a measurable impact in determining whether we can elect a Democrat to the White House and win seats nationwide next year -- or whether Trump will occupy the Oval Office for another four years. It costs around $10,000 to put a single organizer through this program, which is a significant investment, but it couldn't be more necessary for our eventual Democratic nominee to be able to win in 2020. That's why I'm asking you directly: Can you make a $3 donation today to help fund a young person through Organizing Corps 2020 and elect Democrats up and down the ballot next year? Your early support for critical DNC programs like Organizing Corps 2020 will make a tremendous difference. As a committed member of this grassroots team, you're an important part of the Democratic Party. That's why I want to share a few nitty-gritty details of our strategy for Organizing Corps 2020: Building our team early: Through Organizing Corps 2020, the national Democratic Party is investing in organizing earlier in a presidential cycle than ever before. We know that scaling up our eventual Democratic nominee's field operation needs to happen early, which is why the DNC and our partners are investing now so we can build a well-trained, talented, and diverse team of homegrown organizers who are eager to hit the ground running the moment the general election begins. Organizing in key states: This groundbreaking new program will be run in key states that Democrats need to compete in next year for an achievable path to 270. Organizing Corps 2020 was designed to give our eventual nominee a big organizing boost in critically important battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, just to name a few. If we organize in these states like we did in 2018, I believe we can win up and down the ballot next year. Developing future leaders: In addition to the many incredible ways Organizing Corps 2020 will help lift our eventual Democratic nominee to victory, this program will leave a lasting impact on the future of our politics in our country. Congressman John Lewis started his career as an organizer. Barack Obama started his career as an organizer. Building a diverse bench of young, Democratic talent starts now with Organizing Corps 2020 and it will pay dividends in the years to come. Thank you for taking the time to read more about why DNC programs like Organizing Corps 2020 are so important to our path to victory in the months and years ahead. With enough support, Democrats can organize earlier, harder, and smarter than ever before -- but this program can't exist without the support of this grassroots team. Organizing Corps 2020 still isn't fully funded, and it costs about $10,000 to put a young person through the program. Now that you've read about our strategy to defeat Trump and Republicans next year, I hope you'll make a contribution to support DNC programs like this one. Donate $3 to the DNC to help fund essential programs like Organizing Corps 2020. This program is only possible thanks to the incredible support of grassroots Democrats like you. Thank you for being a part of this. Mary Beth Mary Beth Cahill Senior Advisor Democratic National Committee P.S.
