The Democratic National Committee’s Local Listeners program is built around a simple idea: Democrats are stronger when they listen first. The program trains volunteers and organizers to have real, relationship-based conversations—especially in communities that often feel ignored—so local concerns, not assumptions, shape messaging and outreach. Instead of leading with talking points, Local Listeners creates a feedback loop that helps campaigns stay grounded in what voters actually care about.

Recent policy changes could allow private equity firms greater access to retirement accounts, raising concerns about higher fees, increased risk, and reduced transparency for everyday savers. Retirement funds are meant to provide long-term security — not expose workers to complex, high-risk investments they may not fully understand. This petition urges federal regulators and lawmakers to protect retirement accounts by limiting private equity involvement and ensuring strong safeguards for workers’ savings.
