| Scoop: DNC ramps up crackdown on alleged "scam PACs" The DNC is taking action against bad actors who are trying to exploit grassroots donors. Emily, If you're anything like us, your inbox and text messages are filled with campaigns and organizations asking for donations. We wish that all of these groups were spending your hard-earned money to help elect Democrats. But the sad reality is that some of them tell you your donation is going to help elect Democrats, when really they're just keeping the money for themselves. So the DNC is taking action. Earlier this week, we sent a cease-and-desist letter and worked with ActBlue to de-platform a PAC that is claiming to "help brave Democrats and fuel the fight nationwide." The PAC has raised over half a million dollars in the last year — solicited primarily through misleading text messages — but has spent less than $10,000 in support of or opposition to any political candidate. That's less than 2% of their total raise. It's completely unethical, Emily. And we're going to keep working to root out bad actors like these. When you choose to chip in your hard-earned money to an organization or campaign, we know that's a decision you don't make lightly. You deserve to know that your contribution is actually going toward electing Democrats. You're not an ATM, and you don't deserve to be treated like one. Here at the DNC, we will keep working to hold bad actors in this space accountable, and we will continue to be upfront with you about where your contributions go. Today, a donation will go towards funding our on-the-ground organizing work to win upcoming elections in states like Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:
