A DNC Democracy Bond is a monthly financial commitment to the Democratic National Committee. The smallest increment for a bond is $10/month.
The Democracy Bonds community is the flip-side of the 50-state strategy; in order to put organizers on the ground in every state and build a permanent party infrastructure where there hasn't been one for decades, it takes sound financial planning and a sustained commitment of resources. We can't afford to have a boom-and-bust operation that pops
up every two or four years in a few key states. We have to build a permanent presence everywhere, and Democracy Bonds make that possible.
What's more, by funding this unprecedented organizing strategy with small monthly donations from ordinary Americans, the Democracy Bonds community provides a sharp contrast to the the insidious Republican culture of corruption that has recently begun to unravel. We saw in court filings this week how Republican leaders raise money: in exchange for putting statements in the Congressional Record, or granting federal contracts, or expensive golf trips to Scotland.
