Behind the Scenes of the Progressive Voters Guide
Since our founding in 2007, Fuse’s main goals have been giving ordinary people a stronger voice in politics and helping progressives win more often. Our organization has grown and adapted a lot over the last 11 years, but our Progressive Voters Guide remains our most popular and powerful tool to achieve both of these goals.
