If you appreciate Pennsylvania delivering Trump a historic defeat, please support the people-powered grassroots organizations that made a plan to win and have been working their asses off for four years to bring it home.

Lancaster Stands Up. @lancstandsup
The original Stands Up! We started 10 days after Trump won in 2016, with an emergency community meeting of 300 Lancaster residents. We've been in the streets and on the doors for four solid years.

Reclaim Philadelphia. @reclaimphila
A crew of Bernie 2016 staffers decided to dig in and build big. They've won some incredible uphill races since then, including this year winning it for @NikilSaval and @rick4westphilly

Lehigh Valley Stands Up. @LVStandsUp
When Pastor Greg Edward ran an inspiring insurgent congressional campaign, the Dem establishment spent millions to stop him. But the multiracial base his campaign inspired didn't stop. They launched LVSU.

Chester County Stands Up. @ChescoStandsUp
Oh Chester County is affluent and liberal, you think? What about the predominantly Black and working class city of Coatesville? Who's organizing there? CCSU, that's who. And they're killing it.

Berks Stands Up. @BerksStandsUp
They kicked off as an Indivisible chapter after Trump's election. They resisted his Administration day in and day out and then started doing electoral work too. This year they joined the @PAStandsUp fam.

Capital Region Stands Up. @CRStandsUp
They also kicked off as an Indivisible chapter and joined @PAStandsUp this year. They've been kicking ass and taking names in the greater Harrisburg area. They just had a #CountEveryVote rally today.

York Stands Up. @yorkstandsup
Oh you think it'd be a good idea for progressives to stop abandoning rural working class regions, and maybe organize them instead? YSU's got you covered. They're playing the long game and winning along the way.

PA Stands Up. @PAStandsUp
This is the statewide organization that all the aforementioned regional organizations combined forces to form. Together they've contacted millions of voters this year—instrumental in delivering PA in 2020.

There are others too but I need to go to bed! Check out my friend Arielle's recommendations here—all great organizations, worthy of your support. https://twitter.com/ariellecohen/status/1324561706031468544?s=20
The long and short: TV ads don't cut it. And we can't just knock doors the weekend before an election and then disappear. It's not effective in the long-term or even the short-term.
To transform our country and win a governing majority, we have to build long-term people power: young and old, urban and rural, black, brown, and white.
That takes people-powered organizations. And they need resources. Support them.
