Help Get Voters to the Polls
Getting voters to the polls for this year’s municipal elections is a critical step in building toward the 2026 races for Congress and the Senate and thwarting GOP gerrymandering. Municipal elections are the first step for many voters who go on to become informed, active, and engaged voters.
Join us as we partner with Mecklenburg Dems and Down Home NC to make calls to get out the vote and to encourage residents to join their canvasses in strategic counties.
Sundays 6:00-8:00 pm ET through November 2. Sign Up

📅 Early Intensive Rural Organizing: A Fundraiser
We’re raising funds to build Down Home NC’s capacity to staff up in state legislative swing districts. This comprehensive program involves candidate recruitment, community organizing, new communications strategies, voter registration, and coalition-building. Down Home focuses on multi-racial small town and rural areas, knocking on doors and connecting with voters about critical issues that affect their communities.
Your support for Down Home North Carolina and deep base-building is an investment in a better future for North Carolina — the state with 2026’s marquis US Senate race, and where a crucial state Supreme Court election could set the stage to undo gerrymandering.
Speakers: Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), keynote, and Todd Zimmer and Dream Caldwell, Co-Directors of Down Home NC.
Tuesday, Oct. 21, 7:00 pm ET. Zoom

North Carolina: The Key to Democratic Control—and the Future of Our Democracy
North Carolina is a true swing state—and the most strategic in the nation. In 2024, it was the only state where Democrats gained two statewide offices. Today, we hold the governorship, lieutenant governorship, attorney general, secretary of state, and superintendent of public instruction.
We also won a critical state Supreme Court seat—by just 734 votes—despite GOP attempts to throw out thousands of ballots.
While Trump carried the state, North Carolina shifted Republican by a lower margin than any other swing state. In 2024, gerrymandering gave Republicans 10 congressional seats. Under fairer maps in 2022, Democrats won 7 seats. Those 3 stolen seats cost Hakeem Jeffries the speaker’s chair..
Looking ahead
- Senator Thom Tillis (R) is the most vulnerable GOP incumbent in 2026.
- Senator Ted Budd (R) will be even more vulnerable in 2028.
- Democrats could regain control of the NC Supreme Court in 2028 — if we hold Justice Anita Earls’s seat in 2026.
- North Carolina’s population growth makes gerrymandered legislative seats winnable cycle by cycle.
All In for North Carolina (AINC) helps build power and win elections in this purple state. In the past two years, we’ve
- Raised $4 million
- Made 1.25 million calls, mostly recruiting in-state volunteers
- Sent 202 canvassers to Mecklenburg County
This Cycle, We’re Focused On:
- Building power in five key counties north and east of Raleigh—home to nearly half of NC’s swing legislative seats and the only 2026 swing congressional district (Don Davis, D-1, won by 1.5%; his district heavily overlaps many key legislative seats).
- Boosting turnout in Mecklenburg County, which has the largest pool of under-voting Democrats.
- Supporting new progressive media infrastructure. Helping groups build a new media infrastructure in the state, including
- Developing our side’s ability to recruit, train and amplify the voices of compelling working-class storytellers,
- Providing content for local media, and
- Training groups and candidates to speak more effectively to working-class voters, whom Democrats have too often abandoned.
Post-2030 redistricting could give NC an extra House seat and electoral vote. The stakes keep rising. Please join us.
Invest in Powerful Stories to Win in North Carolina
One key to winning elections in NC is to scale up communications efforts now to allow disaffected voters, moderates, and Republicans to hear hundreds of stories about how extreme Republican policies have harmed their neighbors and their communities.
Donations will go to Progress NC Action, which will hire staff to lead a statewide collaborative effort to expand the number of people who can tell their stories compellingly on social and other media and in their communities. The project will create a video story bank, train organizations in more effective communications, and build a new coalition of groups to compete with the Right-Wing Propaganda Machine locally and statewide.
With your support, North Carolina can fully embrace storytelling as a way to give a voice to those who have been harmed and to defeat far-right candidates in 2026 and beyond. You can donate here.
About All In for North Carolina
All In for North Carolina, affiliated with Swing Blue Alliance, is an all-volunteer, mostly out-of-state organization. We work closely with many North Carolina grassroots community and civic organizations, the state and county Democratic Parties, and key Democratic elected officials and candidates. These North Carolinians know the terrain, have boots on the ground, and help direct our efforts.
Our work includes fundraising for community organizations and Democrats, phonebanking to recruit volunteers for in-state organizations or to get out the vote, postcard writing, organizing out-of-state volunteers to canvass in North Carolina, and educating people about doings, opportunities and activities in NC.
AINC leaders are based primarily in Massachusetts and New England, and across both coasts – even a few in Europe. We have a growing number of North Carolinians working with us. Almost all of our work, programs, and events are virtual. An exception is our canvassing program, for which we recruit volunteers to travel to North Carolina to knock on doors and talk to voters.
We are governed by a Steering Committee. We welcome volunteers from anywhere.
