Progressive Turnout Project is a 100% grassroots-funded organization with a single mission: rallying Democrats to exercise their right to vote to and win competitive elections.
** THIS IS YOUR FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO HELP DEMOCRATS WIN THE ELECTION IN JANUARY**
Ignoring this email is simply not an option. Not if you want to flip the House Blue, wipe Donald Trump off the map, and end Mike Johnson's Majority. But if Good Democrats don't donate -- and we miss another goal -- we simply won't survive.
Remember: Mike Johnson and his SuperPAC allies will never run out of money. In the past few weeks alone, we learned they dropped another $136 million into Johnson's SuperPAC. They're going to pound Democrats around the clock with lies every day until the election. So we either have to dig deep and outpace them… or lose everything we've worked so hard for. That would be heartbreaking.
Faith Dillard Azzolina Donated to Progressive Turnout Project in 2026? ** NO DONATION **
(^^why have you not donated??)
We're counting on you to give everything you can to help us win the House Majority. Make a generous donation now -- this Opportunity won't be active for long.
We hate to keep asking for money. We know you're pouring your heart and soul into this election too. But if you don't give now, the consequences will be dire. Look:
Reaching 981 more donations today will put us in the strongest position possible for the final months of this election. It will restore our momentum! It will enable us to shock the political establishment and elect Democrats from Alaska all the way up to Maine! It will help combat Mike Johnson's lies… and save our hope of winning a Democratic House.
Everyone at Progressive Turnout Project is working to the bone to flip the House blue. We're doing everything in our power to push Democrats over the finish line. Long nights. Weekends. You name it. We're even moving to the furthest corners of the country ourselves to talk to voters! But turnout campaigns are expensive -- and it would be such a shame to re-elect Mike Johnson's Majority and lose our chance to check Trump because we didn't have enough money.
Make a generous donation today to help us crack Mike Johnson's Majority and Turn the House Blue. Remember that if everyone reading this email donates, there's no limit to what we can accomplish together. Will you do your part?
We're so close to winning it hurts -- but we're going to have to dig deeper than ever to combat the Republican SuperPACs, send Mike Johnson packing, and win the House Majority.
Thank you for supporting the Progressive Turnout Project. We’re a 100% grassroots-funded organization with a single mission: rallying Democrats to exercise their right to vote.
The best way to turn out voters is with one-on-one conversations.
Progressive Turnout Project is built around this truth, proven time and time again by researchers — including us. On average, our field work boosts voter turnout by more than 10 percent.
How are we different from everyone else sending you emails?
Our Turnout Teams talk to inconsistent voters who are likely Democrats, so they don’t need persuading on who to vote for. They just need a nudge, some information, and to hear from a real person. That means every eligible non-voter we’re able to reach brings Democrats closer to success on Election Day.
Compared to expensive TV ads, research has proven we have a much larger impact for our investment. Faith, that's why we send you so many emails. The success of our work can make or break an election. And we're entirely funded by grassroots donors.

This month, we're spotlighting a selection of standout media stories about Narrative 4 from PBS, NBC, New York Magazine and the BBC, shining a light on the extraordinary work of our facilitators and schools. From exchanges that bring together people with opposing views on immigration and gun control, to stories that bridge divides between youth and adults, these moments show how storytelling helps people recognize our shared humanity.
You'll also find community updates from across the USA, Africa and Ireland—a reminder that this movement is truly global. In fact, this year we aim to train thousands more facilitators across the globe and hope you'll join the effort.
Thank you for being part of our story. We're so glad you're here.
The Power of Stories Helps Young People Overcome Differences.

Can a Life-Swap Exercise Stop a Community from Tearing Itself in Two?
In Moorhead, Minnesota residents and refugees came together for a powerful adult Story Exchange, swapping personal stories and retelling them in the first person.

Celebrating Cross-Border Creativity
📍 Narrative 4 Ireland
Last week, we published an anthology of writing, artwork and photography created by 23 young people from Belfast and Limerick. The book celebrates a cross-border youth exchange. The Belfast participants joined their peers in Limerick for a book launch, attended by program partners, community members and the Mayor of Limerick!
In the anthology's foreword, N4 co-founder and author Colum McCann reminded us that "vision can always defeat division."
The project is part of the Shared Island Initiative, which aims to harness the full potential of the Good Friday Agreement to enhance cooperation, connection and mutual understanding across the island of Ireland.

At its core, writing is a practice of compassion. Great novels ask us to imagine boldly and listen closely, while entering minds and worlds vastly different from our own.

Experience the Narrative 4 Story Exchange. This free virtual workshop is open to everyone who is curious about how storytelling can foster compassion, build connection and create real-world impact.
