The Record-Breaking Success of ActBlue
Online fundraising website ActBlue had its best day ever yesterday, raising $799,827.60 for progressive House, Senate, and presidential candidates. What's particularly remarkable is ActBlue's growth: its haul yesterday was almost as much money as the site brought in during its entire first year.
