In 2023, the DNC instructed state and county Democratic Party officials not to speak publicly about No Labels, according to an email from the Utah Democratic Party.[2]

In advance of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, the DNC proactively reached out to invite over 200 social media content creators to attend in an effort to reach Gen Z voters.[4][5] Among those credentialed creators were Deja Foxx, Jeremy Jacobowitz, Malynda Hale, Ilana Wiles, Jessica Shyba, Vidya Gopalan, Merrick Hana, Nadya Okamoto, and Tori Dunlap on behalf of Her First 100K. They were given access to "an exclusive lounge and creator platform section in the arena where they can record and post online," and the DNC "assigned dedicated staff to help influencers get around, conduct interviews and create online content." Many of the creators receiving funding to attend from sponsors or other organizations. Mia Logan of Precision Strategies co-produced mainstage events featuring the influencers.[5:1]
