Swing Left is building a lasting culture of grassroots participation in winning elections for the Left by making it as easy as possible for anyone to have maximum impact on the elections that determine the balance of power in our country.
In 2023, the Swing Left community helped flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court to a progressive majority, protect voting power and reproductive freedom in Ohio, hold the Virginia State Senate, and flip the Virginia House of Delegates. Together, we also began to lay the groundwork for winning a federal Democratic trifecta in 2024.
