In 2024, Seed the Vote sent over 5,000 volunteers to canvass for federal candidates and issues in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, in partnership with the grassroots organizations that lead the work in those states. In 2025, we will be sending canvassers to Wisconsin for the Supreme Court election on April 1, and exploring a fall program in Virginia, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey. In 2026, we win back the House.
Seed the Vote is a project of Everyday People PAC. Everyday People PAC is a grassroots, social justice political fund mobilizing volunteers to defeat Trumpism. EPP supports the electoral work of grassroots organizations in swing states who are working to build the long term power of working class communities and communities of color. Seed the Vote recruits, trains and mobilizes thousands of volunteers from across the U.S. to help defeat the Right and grow people-powered movements for the long term. We partner with organizations rooted in working-class communities and communities of color in battleground states that are organizing towards key elections and building grassroots political power year-round. Our goal is to contribute to the essential work of building a progressive movement that is capable of transforming U.S. politics in order to make possible much bigger wins—on climate, healthcare, housing, good jobs, immigration, policing, reproductive justice, and more—over the next decade.
