January ’17 Recap featured image placeholder

It was undoubtedly a big month for fundraising at ActBlue, as campaigns and organizations across the country got energized and mobilized to fight back against Trump. Donors are fired up, too — over 100k new users saved their payment information with ActBlue Express this month, and can now give with a single click. We also processed our 1.5-billionth (!!) dollar this month.

A whole new crop of people got involved and are ready to fight back.
