Grassroots Campaigns (GCI) is an independent organization that does strategic consulting, fundraising, and field organizing for progressive causes and candidates. We specialize in building and running face-to-face outreach operations in neighborhoods and in high-traffic public venues to build support for groups, issues, and campaigns. GCI was founded in December of 2003, and by April of 2004 had opened offices in 40 cities throughout the country. By July 2004, we had over 2,000 staff knocking on doors and talking to voters on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. With continued work on behalf of MoveOn PAC in October, we added a volunteer force of 50,000 individuals canvassing their neighborhoods in 17 of the most hotly contested swing states of the 2004 Presidential Election. Since 2004, we’ve continued to partner with groups and campaigns to advance progressive issues, raise money for progressive causes, help take back Congress, and build activism at the grassroots level. Some of our past and current clients include: Amnesty International, The League of Conservation Voters, Save the Children, Planned Parenthood, The ACLU, and many more.
