Location: New York, NY

Stand Up America is a political advocacy organization focused on digital mobilization to resist Trump’s corrupt agenda, advance progressive values, and strengthen our democracy. Founded after the 2016 election, our community has quickly grown to over two million progressives, across all 50 states, who are taking action and making their voices heard daily.
Our cutting-edge digital organizing program has driven over one million constituent calls to lawmakers, mobilized more than 75,000 activists to rally in the streets, and sent over a million peer-to-peer text messages to help get out the vote in key Congressional and state legislative districts.
