Bake Back Better: How Cupcakes Are Powering Native Voters in Arizona [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

When democracy’s on the line, some people knock doors. Some people phonebank.

And some people bake cupcakes.

Meet Bake Back Better — a team of grassroots bakers proving that to make a real difference. All you need is heart, community…and a whole lot of cinnamon cream cheese frosting.

For three election cycles in a row, these incredible bakers have fueled the work of Arizona Native Democrats, helping us reach voters in some of the most remote, overlooked communities in the state.

And this month? We’ve teamed up again. Because nothing beats the power of grassroots people lifting each other up — especially when it’s covered in honey caramel.

The Recipe: Sugar, Solidarity, and a Whole Lot of Heart

Bake Back Better isn’t your average bake sale.

Founded in 2020, this entirely crowdfunded, volunteer-run powerhouse has one mission:

Make the world better, one sweet treat at a time.

They’ve turned kitchen tables into campaign HQs, mixing up hope and frosting in equal measure. And the results speak for themselves:

💙 Nearly $400,000 raised for progressive campaigns and causes

🧁 25,000 cupcakes delivered to thank donors and fuel the fight

🌎 New regional hubs growing across the country

They support efforts to register voters, protect voting rights, and elect down-ballot Democrats who will actually serve our communities — not corporate interests.

They are living proof that small acts can spark big change.

Yes please!

This Month’s Special: Apple Cupcakes for Arizona

Right now, Bake Back Better is baking for democracy in Arizona once again — and it’s never been sweeter.

Donate by September 23rd to support Arizona Native Democrats and you’ll get:

🍎 Four luscious apple cupcakes

🍯 Cinnamon cream cheese frosting and a honey caramel drizzle

❤️ The knowledge you’re powering Native-led organizing in Arizona

Even better? If you live outside the delivery area, you can donate your cupcakes to local first responders — spreading joy while you help save democracy.

Join the Movement

Arizona Native Democrats are the only Democratic Party team consistently on the ground in Arizona’s sovereign tribal lands — registering voters, building local leadership, and raising turnout where elections are won or lost.

Your sweet tooth can help us keep going.
