Protect Your Campaign.
Take Action This Day.
Why We Exist
In some of the darkest days of the Second World War, Alan Turing and his team of codebreakers were desperate for the resources they needed to successfully break German codes and save millions of lives. When Turing’s superiors refused to provide the necessary resources, Turing wrote a letter directly to Prime Minister Winston Churchill pleading for assistance.
Churchill, who instantly recognized the importance of Turing’s work to the war effort, immediately authored an urgent memo to Turing’s superiors insisting that every one of Turing’s requests be granted. Churchill considered the matter so urgent that at the top of the memo, written in red letters, “Action This Day.”
Over the last several election cycles, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in attempts by right-wing extremists to infiltrate progressive and Democratic operations and campaigns to sabotage, undermine, or otherwise discredit them.
As the GOP has come to realize that their grip on power faces more and more challenging paths to victory due to changing demographics and electoral math, so too has their use of these subversive tactics increased. Your campaign has invested so much because there’s so much at stake. Don’t allow subversive threats to jeopardize your mission. Take “Action This Day!”
Our Mission
Action This Day (ATD) brings together operatives with extensive experience in security/intelligence, campaign field operations, and data integrity to offer its clients comprehensive solutions to minimize the risks posed by an array of subversive activities.
Our services aren’t designed or intended to create gotcha moments or make people look bad. Instead, our goal is to stress-test the operation you’ve invested heavily in to prevent external, oppositional forces from creating gotcha moments or, even worse, undermining the results of your program to such an extent that a positive outcome is jeopardized. Our mission is to provide you with an objective assessment of your campaign’s security posture and recommendations to ensure its integrity in the face of growing threats.
