Last week, DSPolitical’s Ben Meers represented us at the Alabama Democratic Party’s Candidate Bootcamp, an event we proudly sponsored to support the next generation of Democratic leaders. He also joined thousands in Selma for the 60th Annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee, commemorating the Alabama Black Belt’s pivotal role in the Voting Rights Movement. Alongside leaders like DNC Vice Chair Ken Martin, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and members of Congress, Ben stood where history was made—because the fight for democracy is never over. We proudly honor those whose courage and leadership expanded voting rights—and remain committed to protecting them today. That’s why we’re committed to equipping Democrats across the country with the digital tools they need to organize, run, and win.?

This Women’s History Month, we honor the resilience and influence of women who have shaped history and remain at the forefront of progress. In 2024, their priorities and media consumption habits revealed insights that campaigns can’t ignore. From abortion rights to alternative news sources, women are making their voices heard in new ways. Campaigns need to meet them where they are—including in gaming spaces, where 36% of women ages 18-44 actively play video games, presenting a major engagement opportunity.
