Crooked Media - 5 years of Vote Save America 🎉

Happy Birthday, Vote Save America! with confetti and a collage of VSA volunteers

Six years ago, Donald Trump decided to ruin everything by winning the White House. So we did what any concerned citizen would do, and tweeted a bunch. Also, we started a podcast.

Five years ago, you helped us turn it into something so much bigger: Vote Save America. We had no idea what to expect. Then the site crashed and we realized: we don’t know how servers worked and there were a LOT of people ready to get to work.

Since that day, Vote Save America has raised more than $55 million dollars and mobilized 500,000 voters and volunteers to support progressive causes and candidates around the country. A few highlights:

17.5 million calls to voters in 2020 battleground states, five of which Biden flipped

$38 million for 2020 Senate candidates, flipping the chamber to Democratic control

1.7 million voter contacts and $5.6 million raised to beat back the “red wave” in 2022

$2 million for our F*ck Bans initiative partners to fight bans against abortion and the LGBTQ+ community

And Vote Save America helps get results! We took the House in 2018, took back the White House in 2020, won the Senate in 2021, and won governorships and state legislatures all across the country. Together, our community helped protect abortion access in states where it’s been under relentless assault. And we continue to build grassroots power that’ll ensure we defeat the legions of creeps and losers working to take away our basic rights.

We're doing the work,

election by election, and that's a big deal.

That’s why we created new ways for you to support Vote Save America this year—so we can stay in this fight for the long haul. The first is our Friends of the Pod subscription community, the ultimate digital community where you’ll get ad-free Pod Save America episodes, fun bonus content from your favorite Crooked hosts, and have the chance to chat directly with the three of us, the amazing team at Crooked, and fellow Crooked listeners on Discord. With a Best Friends subscription, you can make a direct monthly contribution to the Vote Save America PAC— so you can have fun and do good at the same time.

And if you didn’t catch it above, we started a PAC to help Vote Save America grow and make even more of an impact in the future. Donations to the Vote Save America PAC will go toward our efforts to advance progressive causes and elect progressive majorities across the country every year, from the White House all the way down. While we’ll take whatever you’re prepared to give, small, monthly donations go the furthest.

Thank you for being a part of these first five years. Meeting you at tour stops, canvass launches, and virtual events has seriously kept us going this far. The work is daunting, but it’s an honor to do it with this group of hopeful, kind, funny people. Happy birthday to all of us, we don't look a day over four.
