Sharra, you've given to candidates and causes you care about through ActBlue, and we can't thank you enough. I hope you take a moment and read some inspiring stories from our paid interns who are shoulder-to-shoulder with you in this movement. We hope it brightens your day the way it brightened ours. You can read their personal stories below, and if you would like, you can make a donation to help scale our tools to support this grassroots movement. "I stumbled upon the ActBlue internship online, and the mission of making sure politics doesn't have to rely on billionaires and corporations made me want to work here! My favorite part of this internship has been helping grassroots campaigns and the donors who support them, as well as the awesome conversations. When you're helping that one individual donor, you're helping the entire grassroots movement." — Daria, Customer Service intern, Georgetown University "I've worked on a few state, local, and federal campaigns in the past, but the ActBlue internship gave me a chance to work on the actual infrastructure of campaigns. Campaigns are often sprints, and one election cycle's lessons can get lost when Election Day is done! I feel with our work at ActBlue, we are able to make that long-term investment in improving the left. We take lessons from past election cycles and create this infrastructure and fundraising tools that any group on the left can use, no matter what level of government." — Hayes, State & Local Outreach intern, Northeastern University "I'm studying computer science, but I've always been super interested in politics. Interning at ActBlue, a technology nonprofit, has shown me that I can combine my love for progressive politics with my background in engineering! I'm really passionate about accessibility to education, so it's cool that even though I'm not a political science major, I can work in politics." — Shalinee, Customer Service intern, University of California, Los Angeles "I knew through the people I talked to and from ActBlue's mission of lifting up small-dollar donors that there was going to be value alignment between the work I was doing, what I really care about, and what I want to have an impact on." — Bennett, Partnerships intern, Tufts University Sharra, passionate people like you and our amazing interns inspire us every day to better serve the left with our nonprofit fundraising tools, so we hope these intern stories brightened your day. Small-dollar donors have built a real, grassroots movement driving Democratic wins in down-ballot races and organizing to kick Trump out of the White House. Thank you for all that you do. We are grateful beyond words to be in this fight to change our country with you! — Hannah |
