Join me next Thursday for a meet and greet to talk about the future of Square One.

Friends,
It’s only been four days since the presidential inauguration, yet somehow it feels like four months. For you too?
I remember this same disorienting sense of time stretching and compressing in bizarre ways during Trump’s first term in the White House.
It was unnerving.
It was also the catalyst that created Square One.
Since 2017, Square One has been lifting up the most promising Democratic candidates in red districts and states across the country — and helping them shift the political narrative, connect with voters from every walk of life, and flip their seats from red to blue. I know we can continue to shape a brighter future by supporting the next generation of bold new leaders.
Come hear from me and learn about our 2026 strategy at a virtual gathering on Zoom onThursday, January 30 at 12pm ET / 9am PT.
For four election cycles now, Square One has been sending trailblazers to Congress to represent and serve all of us. Like Lauren Underwood, a registered nurse who has made health care more accessible, especially for new moms and veterans. Like Lucy McBath, who’s fighting to keep families and communities safe from gun violence. Like Shomari Figures from Alabama and Ruben Gallego from Arizona, who champion affordable housing, strong schools, and good jobs. And many more.
Square One has been bucking conventional wisdom and national trends ever since Trump rose to power in 2016.
Square One was made for this moment.
With you by our side, we’ll remain resolute and steadfast in our mission to turn the tide and create a better future for our country.
A catalyst precipitates action — and change. Let’s navigate our way through this next chapter together, with focus, determination, and a winning playbook.
See you next week,
Tony Vargas
Executive Director, Square One
