Rust Belt Rising

    • About Us

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

    We work with Democratic candidates in the six states bordering the Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) to transform their values into persuasive economic messages. Through down-ballot work in these six states, we build a pipeline of qualified candidates and strengthen Democratic infrastructure in the Rust Belt.

    We are committed to advancing a Democratic Party whose leadership reflects our diverse coalition and are proud to offer all of our services free of charge.

    More than 1,200 Midwest leaders have taken part in courses and we have helped win 123 campaigns. Additionally, our virtual voter registration programs have helped thousands of voters register.
