YOU X ME = DEMOCRACY
OUR VISION
A federal government aligned with democratic values + committed to building a JUST + SUSTAINABLE + INCLUSIVE SOCIETY.
OUR MISSION
Force Multiplier EMPOWERS PEOPLE + MULTIPLIES THEIR IMPACT by raising funds for Democratic candidates for federal office + for groups that ensure that people CAN + DO VOTE.
OUR STRATEGY
We use DATA-DRIVEN ANALYTICS + the power of RELATIONAL NETWORKING to raise funds for HOUSE + SENATE RACES that can tip the balance of power in Washington. We also raise funds for voter empowerment groups working to ensure that PEOPLE CAN + DO VOTE.
We do our work with a sense of urgency + an eye to the future of
OUR FAMILIES + OUR COUNTRY + OUR PLANET.
Force Multiplier is an all volunteer political fundraising group founded in 2017.
We began as a group of a dozen people in the Boston area who were alarmed by the national backlash that led to the election of Donald Trump. We wanted to find a way for Blue states voters like ourselves to have an impact on the national balance of power. We chose the path of raising funds for Democratic candidates who were in frontline races challenging vulnerable Republican incumbents for the House.
We're committed to supporting Democrats because the Republican party has been captured by the extreme MAGA faction that embraces authoritarianism + represents a threat to our democracy.
Force Multiplier believes that only a Democratic President + Democratic majorities in the House + Senate will protect our rights, freedoms + democracy.
Our approach is to empower donors by providing them with research based recommendations on which races are most likely to affect the balance of power in the House + Senate. Our group is one of several independent groups that provide candidates + groups with a stream of revenue independent of PACS, wealthy donors + the party.
Our recommendations are driven by research not ideology.
We support Democratic candidates in critical races regardless of their positions on individual issues. We look for candidates who are in competitive races that are strategically important to achieving Democratic majorities + who need further financial support to win. We measure our success by the amount of money we’re able to direct into races that are truly competitive.
Force Multiplier is committed to fundraising practices that respect our donors + that will sustain the work of our candidates + groups over the long haul.
