Center for Popular Democracy Action, People’s Action, and Working Families Party are mobilizing their volunteers to knock on 5+ million doors in key swing states

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, three of the country’s leading progressive organizations, Center for Popular Democracy Action (CPD), People’s Action, and Working Families Party (WFP) announced their endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. 

These organizations represent a coalition of hundreds of thousands of members and volunteers, working families, and people of color that are ready to rally behind Kamala Harris to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA movement and elect the first Asian-American and Black woman President. 

The groups have pledged to mobilize their national member bases to knock on over 5 million doors in key battleground states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona. They plan to work with Vice President Harris to deliver on President Biden’s housing agenda, take on the climate crisis, and protect abortion rights. 

“Vice President Kamala Harris is a strong candidate who will beat Donald Trump, preserve our democracy, and drive our country forward. The Biden Administration put our country back on track, canceling student debt for close to a million Americans, rebuilding our economy post-Covid, and investing in our infrastructure. Now is the time to rally behind Vice President Harris to build upon those achievements and take on the immense challenges ahead,” said DaMareo Cooper and Analilia Mejia, Co-Executive Directors of Center for Popular Democracy Action. 

“We see an unprecedented surge of enthusiasm on the doors and from our members about Vice President Kamala Harris. The Biden/Harris administration created real momentum toward an economy that puts working people before billionaires and a democracy that protects hard-won freedoms for everyone. We need to build on that momentum. That’s why we are mobilizing tens of thousands of volunteers to have deep conversations about why voting for Harris is a vote for a future in which our families and communities will thrive,” said People’s Action Movement Governing Director Marta Popadiak.

“Our coalition was critical to defeating Trump in 2020. We’re ready to do it again in 2024,” said Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party. “This election is bigger than any one person. It’s about the kind of country we want to be and whether we will let the rights and freedoms our ancestors spent generations fighting for—the right to participate equally in our democracy, to organize our workplaces, and to control our own bodies—be taken away from us. Over the next four months, we’ll be mobilizing voters in key states to elect Kamala Harris and build our ranks of WFP champions up and down the ballot.”

Vice President Harris has played a decisive role in President Biden’s signature victories, casting the tie-breaking vote to pass the landmark Inflation Reduction Act and presiding over the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson.
