ActBlue

ActBlue is a U.S.-based nonprofit technology organization that provides an online fundraising platform primarily for Democratic candidates, progressive political committees, and allied nonprofit organizations. It allows campaigns and groups to accept small-dollar contributions via the web or mobile, handling payment processing, compliance data, and reporting. When you see text after "ACTBLUE*" (such as a candidate or committee name), that typically indicates which specific campaign, committee, or organization you donated to through the ActBlue platform.

A charge with a descriptor like "ACTBLUE* DENZEL.MCCAMP" on your statement usually represents a political donation you made via ActBlue to a campaign or committee associated with that name (likely a local or regional candidate/committee in Detroit). The amount may be a one-time contribution or part of a recurring monthly donation you set up on an ActBlue donation page. Sometimes you may see multiple small charges if you contributed to several campaigns or split a donation among multiple recipients in a single transaction.

If you do not recognize the charge, first search your email for receipts from "ActBlue" corresponding to the date and amount on your statement, as ActBlue emails an itemized receipt for each donation. You can also log into your ActBlue account (if you created one) to review your contribution history, manage recurring donations, or update payment methods. For unresolved questions, you can contact ActBlue support through their website’s help section, providing the date, amount, and the full descriptor from your card statement so they can identify the exact campaign or committee that received your donation and assist with refunds or canceling recurring contributions where applicable.
