    2020[edit]

    On April 2, 2020, The Hill reported that the organization planned to spend $2.9 million on a phonebanking campaign targeting an estimated 12 million swing-state voters. The group’s executive director stated, "With COVID-19, activists are looking for ways to engage with voters while practicing safe distancing and Turnout 2020 helps with that."[4]

    In December 2019, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the organization announced a $45 million plan to increase Democratic turnout by training 1,100 field staff with a goal of knocking on 7 million doors in 16 battleground states.[5] The group subsequently increased that goal to 10.1 million doors in 17 states.[6]
