NationBuilder levels the playing field for those who are called to lead by making powerful organizing tools available to all. We want to help more leaders—and better leaders—find, engage, and serve their communities around the world.
Though our customers and their successes span the political spectrum, we’d like to spotlight recent stories of American politicians who’ve had big wins, and surprising wins, under Democrat and progressive banners.

We hope you find their stories as inspiring as we do.
