Stay Ahead. Make an Impact.

The Impact is a weekly briefing on where AI meets power: the news reshaping campaigns, advocacy, and public policy, cut down to what actually matters and what to do next.

Built on a decade of winning campaigns
For more than ten years, MFStrategies has connected Democratic candidates and causes with the supporters who share their values, helping people make a real difference in their communities. We've raised tens of millions of dollars, powered over a hundred campaigns, and built a reputation for pairing precision strategy with deeply held values.

Strategy shouldn't be a luxury
We've always worked to make that kind of strategy accessible, not reserved for the biggest budgets. Modern AI tools finally make it possible in ways we could only dream about when we started. The Impact is how we pass what we're learning on to you.

What lands in your inbox
Every Wednesday morning, we track where AI, politics, and public policy collide, then send you the version that respects your time:

  • The Topline: the throughline tying the week together.

  • The Brief: the two stories that matter most, and why they matter for the work you do.

  • Worth Knowing: everything else worth a click, curated and quick.

No hype, no doom. Just clear-eyed context and the next move.

Stay ahead of the curve
The tools shaping campaigns and advocacy are changing faster than anyone can follow alone. We do the tracking, so you can spend your time winning.
