We are Neighbors Organizing for Power and Equality. We direct support to Democratic candidates and to grassroots organizing allies in battleground states. We curate volunteer opportunities, advise donors, reach out on social media, and share opportunities to resist the current regime.
We’re an all-volunteer organization based in Washington, D.C., but our reach is nationwide.
NOPE Neighbors’ 2026 kick-off meeting on March 17 featured Timothy Snyder, who will shared his insight on our current political situation and saving our democracy.
Snyder is a celebrated author and historian focusing on Central and Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. On Tyranny, first published in 2017 as a roadmap for resisting authoritarianism, remains at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Snyder also appears frequently as a news commentator and publishes a widely read newsletter.
We shared our political strategy for winning the midterms – flipping the House and reaching for the Senate. We introduced our new slate of grassroots allies, who are already working to organize essential and underrepresented voters in battleground states. We also unveiled our first slate of targeted U.S. House candidates and presented three powerful options for political action.
We need an institutional base of power to rein in Trump and MAGA. The US House is our best shot — we only need to flip three seats to win Democratic control. Today we’re recommending a strong slate of candidates who can win their very close races — and who need early funding.
Our four incumbents face new threats from redistricting in North Carolina, Texas and Ohio. We need to retain these seats. Strong campaigns for these candidates will also bring out voted for crucial Senate races in the same states.
Our four challengers In Pennsylvania, Iowa and Arizona will very likely win their primaries. They will then immediately need to replenish their cash to take on the Republican incumbents they must unseat. Let’s fund them now.
We selected these groups after months of assessment. All four work in battleground states. They have effective leadership, significant records of accomplishment, and strong accountability practices. They work year-round to build trust in underserved communities, and then turn out the vote in election seasons.
Georgia: Fair Fight Action
Michigan: Mi Poder
North Carolina: Carolina Federation
Pennsylvania: Make the Road Action PA
