Lots of politically progressive groups – Planned Parenthood, League of Conservation Voters, PETA. Environmental groups such and Oceana, and cultural organizations we love, like Sesame Workshop.
Day-to-day, we’re raising revenue, acquiring new donors and supporters, winning campaigns and elections, and improving brand and issue recognition.
