Building the progressive force to win elections and restore trust in democracy
We refuse to be to be silenced. That’s why we’re teaming up to elect more pro-science candidates and flip the Georgia State House.
A winning campaign requires strong teams, and too often, staffers are underpaid, undervalued, and undertrained, leaving even the best candidates at a disadvantage.
Trump’s assault on federal workers has displaced thousands of skilled professionals. Now they’re fighting back.
Through Public Service to Public Power, these experts are completing specialized training in campaign strategy, fundraising, communications, and field organizing.
Once trained, they become members of the Public Power Corps — a statewide network ready to work on the front lines of Georgia’s elections.
This initiative more than just training. It is building a long-term bench of campaign leaders who will power progressive victories, rebuild trust in government, and help reclaim our state from extremism.
Last cycle, UFGW raised over $500,000 to directly support our Georgia state house candidates. This year, we’re aiming to double that amount so we can pay competitive staff salaries and give our candidates the professional support they need to win.
More than just fueling campaigns—your donation invests in the people who power them.
