Donate to Rust Belt Rising

Rust Belt Rising helps Democrats be the party of working people by training candidates on connecting effectively with Midwestern families, winning seats, and delivering change.

We provide research, learning sessions, and individual coaching to a network of more than 1,400 leaders across Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois.

We have helped win 176 elections. Our 2024 voter registration program organized 1,083 volunteers to make 1,010,089 phone calls, which helped 43,207 battleground residents register to vote.

Help us continue to make Democratic candidates more effective so we can keep the Blue Wall strong and win all the way up the ballot in the vital Midterms in our region.
