America Coming Together

America Coming Together (ACT) (founded in 2003) was a progressive, political action 527 group dedicated to get-out-the-vote activities.

ACT did not specifically endorse any political party but worked almost exclusively on behalf of Democratic candidates.

The group was primarily funded by insurance mogul Peter Lewis, currency trader George Soros, and labor unions, especially the Service Employees International Union, and was led by Steve Rosenthal, a former political director of the AFL–CIO.

Starting in mid-2004, the album Wake Up Everybody was recorded by more than 90 musical acts under the direction of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, for the purpose of getting more young adults to register and vote.

It had 86 offices open every day, with a staff of 4,000 and a goal of reinforcing the army of 45,000 paid canvassers with 25,000 volunteers.
