(22,513 posts)47. We're not actually plugged into ActBlue
OmahaSteve set up the ActBlue pages for Democratic candidates, and uses the Democratic Underground name on them with our permission. But contributions made via ActBlue go directly through their system, to the candidates. That money never goes through DU, and we do not have any kind of financial connection to Act Blue. Steve has put a lot of work into his fundraising efforts and raises a ton of money through that page because if you type "donate to joe biden" into google, it's the third result that comes up!

I want one where we give flags. 🇺🇸 Because the RW tries to hijack the flag.

For those who don't want to use PayPal: is ActBlue a possibility? We're already plugged in there.

That is such a good idea! DU was responsible for over $1 million in donations in 2020.

A couple of us would like to see the fund drive a regular feature, especially since the code is already in place.

I only wish I could do more, Earl. But I love DU and will gladly make a yearly donation to your worthy work.

Cheers! A number of us have indicated we could deal with a quarterly fund drive, especially if we could give away treats

When my annual membership is up in May, I will switch to monthly donations.
