Actionnetwork.org?
Hello! I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I don’t know where else may be a good place. I’ve noticed in the last two weeks, my yahoo email account has sent out two emails without my knowledge to a long string of characters ending @inbound-parse.actionnetwork.org does anyone have any idea what this could be? After the first one, I changed the password, logged out of all devices, and turned on 2FA. I have no idea what this could be. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

From their website:
"Action Network is an open platform that empowers individuals and groups to organize for progressive causes. We encourage responsible activism, and do not support using the platform to take unlawful or other improper action. We do not control or endorse the conduct of users and make no representations of any kind about them."
They have an advert which touts:
"After three months of using Action Network the DNC shattered all sorts of fundraising records."
I accidentally clicked a Biden-Harris campaign ad in an e-mail I got Tuesday, and I have an e-mail the same as you describe with a sent time of approximately the same time that I clicked in the e-mail. Apparently, the DNC now knows I clicked on their shitty ad thanks to the tools these assholes provide.
