Who we are

Blue Revolution is a national, online community of Nearly 200,000 progressives fostering camaraderie, good cheer, and action in these tough times. In 2020, members made over 8.7 million voter contacts to swing states through our partners. In 2024, they made 5.8 million.

Our members have supported dozens of local, House, and senate campaigns over the years. Our activism is done through our incredible partners like Swing Left, Field Team 6, Progressive Turnout Project, and more. We also create captivating (sometimes viral!) content to motivate our members for action.

Founder Dan McCool is a published author who taught political science for many years in NYC. He has been interviewed by NPR, the NYTimes, and various podcasts over the years about American politics in the Trump era, and the role of activists.

While most political spaces on the internet are drowning in negativity and cynicism, we seek to advance an uplifting, positive message to our members about the responsibility and the dignity of political activism. We help get out the vote through our partners with activities like letter and postcard-writing, phone banking, text banking, and donations to campaigns in critical races. And we provide spaces for folks to vent and feel welcomed by fellow progressives.

To receive updates on actions through our partners, please leave us your information here and we’ll be in touch!

Also, please follow us on whichever social media platforms you’re on, here.

Blue Revolution works to foster and organize the nearly 200,000-member volunteer community to engage in activities to support Democratic candidates around the country. Payments made to Blue Revolution here help support the services.

“Blue Rev gave me a positive outlet for some the darkest days, when I lost hope and everything looked so bleak, Blue Rev was there to get me going again. Write a post card, text a voter, text my Congress people, find a progressive running in a local election and donate to their campaign. Blue Rev kept hope alive! 🇺🇸💙”
