The Democratic National Committee (DNC) works to elect Democratic candidates throughout the United States. It mobilizes voters and organizes efforts in every ZIP code, focusing on empowering grassroots activists to create an inclusive political movement. The DNC raises funds through donations, merchandise sales, and fundraising events, which are then used to support campaign efforts and community organizing. Unlike other political organizations, the DNC emphasizes building strong connections with state parties and local candidates, ensuring that resources are available for Democratic victories at all levels of government. A key goal of the DNC is to address barriers faced by historically marginalized communities, making sure their voices are represented in the political process.
