The Center for Popular Democracy's 2016 Annual Gala was a rousing success by any measure. On the evening of May 24 in Washington, D.C., we hosted partners, supporters, and our honorees, delivering an energizing evening that included moving speeches--including one by honoree Senator Elizabeth Warren that caused a sensation--and opportunities to see old friends and comrades on frontlines. And most crucially, 2016's fundraiser brought in 62 percent more revenue than in 2015, which will support the incredible growth we've experienced and expect more of in the future.

And Senator Warren's speech? In a fierce rejection of the politics of hate, Warren brought the house down. Video of Warren's speech quickly made headlines and became the topic among morning cable news outlets. In the end, Senator Warren's presence at our event was covered by over 70 media outlets. 

There's no doubt about it: we are stronger together. CPD is grateful for the support from our partners and sponsors this year and in past years, and we look forward to building up our network's capacity to make lasting change for our communities nationwide.
