About Us

We’ve Come a Long Way

DoTheMostGood was formed in December 2016 by a group of Hillary for America volunteers. Some of them had attended a ‘Do The Most Good’ meeting organized in Ellicott City one week after the November election. The organizers of that meeting encouraged attendees to mobilize their own communities.

The founding members of DTMG MoCo were seasoned political volunteers with years of experience working on local, state, and national political campaigns. Thus, along with a focus on resisting current attacks on democracy, from Day 1 we were also focused on helping to elect progressive candidates, locally and, to the best of our ability, nationally.

— where care drives change.
