Swing Left’s mission is simple: we make it easy for people to maximize their impact on the most competitive elections to help Democrats win. Since launching in 2017, Swing Left’s one million members have raised more than $140 million for Democratic candidates, civic organizations, and voter mobilization efforts, and engaged more than 50 million voters door-to-door, by phone, and through handwritten letters.

What makes us different:

• Swing Left is singularly focused on directing grassroots time and money to help Democrats win close races that will determine the balance of power in our government, from the White House to key state houses.
• We use data and technology to increase volunteer and donor impact by driving the right resources to the right campaigns, at the right time.
• We put people first, delivering a member experience focused on strategic action, not noise—no spam emails, texts, or doomsday messaging.

Swing Left’s organizing program supports volunteers to build, lead, and engage events and groups of volunteers in their communities to help elect Democrats in the most competitive races through canvassing and phone banking.

This role is focused on Ground Truth, Swing Left’s people-powered organizing program designed to help Democrats win back power by reimagining how we talk with voters. Traditional voter contact often focuses on likely Democratic voters and starts too late to meaningfully persuade people who are undecided or disengaged. Ground Truth is built to change that.
