As Donald Trump tightens his grip on the Republicans' largest partisan majority since 1928, a lot of Democrats are asking: how did this happen? And what can we do now, to fight back against Trump, to protect the progress we’ve made, and to rebuild the party that stands up for every American?

The old guard of Democratic Party insiders are gathering in Washington to try and answer those questions. But we don’t have to wait for them. This is our party, and our democracy. We can get to work right now.

Since the election, hundreds of thousands of Americans are taking steps to get more involved in public service. Many want to know one simple thing: how to run for office. In an era of hyper-information, the basic building blocks of a political campaign somehow remain locked behind closed doors.

We can change that. Running for office isn’t rocket science, but it helps if you know where to start. That’s why we’re collecting and publishing professional campaign tools, trainings, and planning resources: materials that any citizen can use to plan, organize, and win a campaign.
