For over a decade, MFStrategies has connected Democratic candidates and causes with like-minded supporters across the country, helping people make a positive impact in their communities. We’ve raised tens of millions of dollars, powered over one hundred campaigns, and built a reputation for marrying precision strategy with deeply held values.

We’ve always worked to make our mission as accessible as possible. Today, modern AI tools make it possible in ways we could only dream about when we started.

The Impact is your weekly rundown of AI, political, and public policy news, curated for clarity, grounded in context, and focused on what’s possible.

Every Wednesday morning, we break down the stories shaping the future of campaigns and advocacy, give you the tools to stay ahead of the curve, and explore where technology and strategy meet to make real change happen.
