Swing Blue Alliance is the largest all-volunteer, Democratic grassroots organization headquartered in Massachusetts. In partnership with organizations in swing states, we develop evidence-based programs to protect our democracy, work on competitive local and national elections, and strengthen the Democratic Party at the grassroots level
We’re presently working on five strategic initiatives for 2025 and beyond.
The five working groups are:
2025/2026 Elections: Mobilize resources to win races in WI, VA and key 2026 districts.
Countering Right Wing Media: Combat disinformation and amplify progressive voices.
Oppose the Trump Agenda: Push back against extremist policies. Defend democracy.
Reform the Democratic Party
Strengthen Grassroots Networks
In addition to running our own voter registration trips, we help Democratic committees and other grassroots group identify the most promising precincts for hotspot and door-to-door voter registration. We acquire lists of unregistered people and check them against other databases, including the registered voter file. We use this information to create walk lists.
Swing Blue Alliance is the largest organization of its kind headquartered in Massachusetts. We are the only organization that has a research department that runs randomized control trials.

We focus on executing statewide strategies to inform Pennsylvanians about safe, secure, and convenient ways to vote. We will run a layered vote-by-mail recruitment and education program that includes mail, phones, texts, digital, and possibly radio and streaming or TV ads. Our universe consists of low-propensity and historically disenfranchised Pennsylvanians.
The Voter Project and The Voter Project Fund’s goal is to ensure that every Pennsylvania voter, especially those who have been historically disenfranchised, is able to cast a ballot in a safe, secure, and convenient way. We lead Pennsylvania’s voting rights community in implementing changes to election law, fighting back against attempts to make voting more difficult, and informing Pennsylvanians about the ways they can cast a ballot and make their voices heard.

UNITE HERE Action Fund will promote and increase the electoral participation of low propensity voters – primarily working class and people of color – in Virginia and New Jersey by having UNITE HERE union members canvass them to identify issues and key challenges facing them, draw out what messages are most motivating, and educate them on how to vote.
The hospitality workers union, UNITE HERE Action Fund, is launching an ambitious field program in 2024 in Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. UNITE HERE operates the nation’s largest labor-led canvassing program, with canvassers who are union members—workers talking to working-class voters about their fight to protect their livelihoods and their country.
The purpose of the UNITE HERE Action Fund is to assist hospitality workers, other working people and their families to achieve economic, social, and racial justice through education and advocacy, leadership development, and full participation in civic life. UNITE HERE Action Fund and Workers Vote are closely aligned with UNITE HERE, a hospitality workers union.
We are continuing to capitalize on turning out the youth vote, especially on College Campuses throughout our battleground districts. VA-2, VA-5, and VA-7 are home to the majority of VA's campuses and we want to make sure that we are registering those students to vote and to vote at their address at their colleges. We will be focusing on canvassing, phone banking, relational organizing, and targeting all of these battelground areas with digitals with the specific goal of reaching voters ages 18-35.
To further the ideals and principles of the Democratic Party, improve our society through peaceful reform and effective government, grow the voice of young people in our political processes, and serve those in need in our community.

We are targeting Catholics in MI, PA, WI with trainings, in-person & digital outreach and relational doors, calls, texts as well as digital ads and billboards. In these three states, Clinton lost the Catholic vote by 65-35. Biden made it closer to 50-50 which was the difference in the election.
To activate multi-issue Catholic voters and provide them—as well as candidates who are committed to the common good of lifting up the quality of life of all Americans—with the tools they need to be informed and to engage Catholic voters who are concerned about issues of social justice, immigration, climate change, and the scourge of White Christian Nationalism.
