Who We Are

No Dem Left Behind is a progressive populist PAC fighting for everyday Americans. We stand up to entrenched establishment interests and corporate power that put profits ahead of people.

We were founded in 2018, during the first Trump presidency, as a direct response to the rise of the alt-right and MAGA extremism. Our democracy is under attack, and we exist to confront that threat head-on by organizing communities and challenging the forces that seek to divide us.

We are building a coalition of like-minded candidates to create a blue wave in the 2026 elections. Together, we can defeat extremism, defend democracy, and build a government that works for everyone.

No Dem Left Behind is opening applications for a remote, paid fellowship for individuals who are passionate about politics and ready to gain real, hands-on experience helping progressive candidates win.

This fellowship is designed for future organizers, fundraisers, researchers, and digital strategists who want meaningful responsibility and direct involvement in building progressive power nationwide. Applicants will select a primary field of interest within a single fellowship program.

There are three fellowship tracks fellows may choose to focus on:

3. General Fellowship

Responsibilities may include:

• Rotating between fundraising, communications, research, and organizing support

• Completing time-sensitive and ad hoc tasks across the organization

• Supporting internal operations and campaign priorities as they arise
