What We Do
We Build People PowerSeed the Vote recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to door knock and phone bank with local partners in the most critical swing states for the presidential, senate and house races. We know that face-to-face conversations are the most effective way to persuade voters in swing states where the election may be determined by a very small number of voters. We send volunteers at the request of local groups in these states, in order to help them talk to the most people possible.
Our Story
Georgia, 2020
Pennsylvania, 2022
Nevada, 2022
In 2019, Seed the Vote was formed to oust Trump. We partnered with grassroots organizations rooted in working-class communities of color and mobilized over 9,000 volunteers to make calls and doorknock in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Florida. Working with volunteers across the country (and globe!), we supported grassroots efforts in the critical states that would decide the outcome of the election.
In 2022, despite rampant voter suppression and the prediction of a “red wave,” grassroots organizing again made key electoral wins possible. In Nevada alone, Seed the Vote volunteers talked to nearly 7,500 people at their doors during a critical Senate race won by only 7,928 votes. The work of Seed the Vote’s volunteers and partner organizations helped ensure victories the Right was counting on never materialized and sowed seeds for future organizing efforts.
In 2024, Seed the Vote continues our commitment to train and support volunteers to knock doors and make calls with our partner organizations. We know it will take all of us to win again in 2024 – and again in 2026, 2028, and 2030. By winning these critical and strategic races, our movements are paving a path to shift the balance of power in the federal government within the next ten years to make progressive demands a reality.

Who We Work With
We partner with grassroots organizations rooted in working-class communities and communities of color in battleground states, including unions, that have been organizing for years and will continue building political power after the election. We also coordinate with national movement forces to align and collaborate on a shared strategy to defend and expand voting rights and build towards our dream of true multiracial democracy.
