Community activists Peggy, Allen and Dylan reported in their Day of Action numbers from the weekend. They signed up 31 supporters Saturday in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak.
With their 31 pledges, we just went over our goal of 20,000. Their pledges put us at 20,003. After more faxes from across the country, our final pledge count was 21,788!
We did it.
With small groups of people like Peggy, Allen and Dylan on a busy street corner in Royal Oak, Michigan, we can change the largest company in the world.
With community leaders like Theondra — who organized a local group of Democracy for America volunteers in Clarksburg, West Virginia who signed up 225 supporters — we will be successful.
