The Democratic Party claims to fight for working people. But corporate PACs and billionaire donors are writing the checks — and setting the agenda. We're done pretending that's okay.

Why It Matters

This isn't cynicism. It's arithmetic.

We vote for candidates who promise healthcare, climate action, and worker protections. Then those candidates take office — and the bills that actually pass are the ones their donors can live with. That's not a conspiracy. That's cause and effect.

The Democratic Party has the potential to be the vehicle for a genuine progressive majority. But that majority will never materialize as long as the donor class holds a veto over the platform. You can't serve two masters.

We're not asking the party to be perfect. We're asking it to choose people over PACs. That's what TakingOurPartyBack.org is here to do.

Our Platform

Three demands. Zero wiggle room.

Why People Are Joining

Real progressives. Real frustration. Real hope.

I've knocked doors for Democrats for 15 years. But I'm done being taken for granted while the party courts Goldman Sachs. TakingOurPartyBack.org gave me a reason to stay and fight.

Mariana, 41 — Detroit, MI

The climate crisis is existential. But fossil fuel money flowing through Democratic committees buys delay. My generation can't afford the current arrangement.

DeShawn, 24 — Atlanta, GA

I'm a union steward. When our elected Democrats won't pass card check, the reason isn't complicated — look up their donor list. This has to change now.
