Mission: Founded to give progressive and populist candidates the support they need to win elections, Twenty-First Century Democrats has grown to become one of the largest political action committees in the nation. We combine a commitment to progressive values with extensive grassroots organizing experience, bringing together two critical components of Democratic success. Twenty-First Century Democrats is one of the few political action committees in the nation that contributes highly trained grassroots organizers to progressive candidates and campaigns. Our training program is one of the most effective in the nation, and we continue to develop programs for all levels of involvement. Our trained organizers run sophisticated field plans that rely on targeted voter contact, making the difference in tough races. The results are clear: we win the majority of our campaigns. We choose tough races-races that other political action committees shy away from because they're hard to win. We are guided by the core Democratic values that put people first. We seek out candidates and leaders who share a compelling vision for America with strong progressive issues in mind such as: Universal healthcare coverage, most especially for our childrenFair taxes and social responsibilityCorporate accountabilityGood jobs, living wages, and secure pensionsCivil and human rightsA clean and sustainable environment with conservation of our natural resourcesClean and fair election laws enabling maximum voter participation
