Join Us for Our 2024 Speaker Series
Our monthly meetings bring together Airlift’s Partner Groups, special guests, and Airlift leaders to discuss the Airlift mission and explore how we can take action to ensure that democracy works for all of us. You will meet special guests who have devoted their lives and careers to progressive political action. And you will meet the leaders of Airlift’s Partner Groups who work on the front lines year-round in battleground states to engage their communities about issues that are critical to their lives. Our meetings are lively, informative and inspiring. We hope you will join us!

Come catch her enthusiasm about why North Carolina is poised to turn from purple to Blue in 2024.

Would You Like to Host an Airlift Fundraiser?
In-person or virtual house parties have proven to be our most effective way of helping people understand why it’s so important to encourage political giving towards community-based grassroots groups. In this new pandemic environment, we shifted our format so we can still effectively expand and educate our network of supporters through virtual house parties.
