Hilarious that they choose a “woman of color” to lead the charge. And they pretend that the success of republicans stands solely on “hyper partisan voter registration MACHINE”.
My name is Lorenza Ramirez, and I’m the National Organizing Director at the DNC. And today, I’m going to be very direct with you: Democrats have lost major ground to MAGA with young people. Unless we act now, we’ll be at a disadvantage for decades.
It’s my job to make sure that Democrats are reaching as many voters as we can, in communities all over the country.
I’m the first in my family to go to college, and it shaped how I see this work: Access matters. Winning back young voters won’t happen by accident. It will require intentional investment and a willingness to build new organizing programs that make getting involved in politics more accessible for young people who have felt left out.
So the DNC is taking charge. Through a first-of-its-kind partisan registration push, which we’re calling When We Count, we’ll register hundreds of thousands of new Democrats this year and train the next generation of organizers to do it. Take a look:

In a second, I’m going to ask you to make your first contribution of 2026 to help fund this work, but first let me explain why this is so important:
Democrats have lost ground because in the last few years, we’ve largely approached voter registration as a nonpartisan initiative. All the while, MAGA has built a hyper-partisan voter registration machine.
That ends now. The DNC is taking the lead in solving this problem and doing what it takes to reverse these registration trends in flippable congressional districts across the country.
If we’re successful, this might just help us flip Congress in November, Steven. We could win critical races, from your local school board all the way up to the Senate. The electoral consequences could be massive, but this program won’t be cheap. And the scale of our investment depends directly on grassroots support.
That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $7 today.
$7 to help us register thousands of new voters.
$7 to ensure Democrats make inroads in every community this year.
$7 to support work like this election cycle after election cycle — so we can take back Congress, and ultimately, the White House.
