When someone who has attained the highest office in the country willingly gives it up for the sake of the republic, the epic generosity of that act echoes down the centuries.
Because Washington did it, we have a democracy.
Because Biden’s doing it, we have a shot at keeping it.
What leadership in his stepping down. And what leadership in her stepping up!
And you know who I mean by “her!” Vice President Kamala Harris has generated a tidal wave of hope with serious 2008 vibes. It started Sunday, the moment Biden announced… and minutes later, endorsed his Vice President. Then Pelosi endorsed. More huge endorsements kept coming in a steady stream. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Clintons, more, more, more. Mere hours later, all 50 Democratic state party chairs declared their unified support. Then that turned into the biggest day of fundraising in presidential history.
Then there was her first speech as presidential candidate, given from Biden HQ in Delaware, where President Biden, on speakerphone, said, “I’m watching you, kid. I love you.” Tears. Then her triumphant rally the next day in Wisconsin. Today, her first TV ad, which I set to loop so I could keep watching while I danced around the room and yelled and sang and made my dogs bark. (I had to pause it so I could write this.)
Joe Biden was the perfect man for the moment. And Kamala Harris is now the perfect woman for the moment. What masterful timing, too. During the four days of the Republican’s Nazi Rally, Biden took all the poison, barbs, and flames they could throw at him. And then when the smoke cleared, Biden revealed he… wasn’t the candidate! And VP Harris could emerge onto the stage unscathed. Beautiful!
We are living through history. And because we are activists, we make history.
To be clear: Kamala Harris is the underdog in this race. But every single thing we (and that "we" includes all of you!) have done at Field Team 6 has prepared us for this moment. The Democrats we have registered – and are registering right now, with your help! – are the voters who will win this.
We have 103 days until the election – and 74 days until voter registration deadlines hit. We need to raise $700,000 and contact over 10 million unregistered, likely Democrats before then.
To that point, our outreach is FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS! We are texting over 1,000,000 people a week! We just bought 2,900,000 new records for unregistered, likely Democrats in our 12 target states! Over 700 volunteers have signed up for today’s free BYOP texting training! Our printer is fulfilling postcard orders at an unheard-of rate! We’re setting up new in-person drives and more phonebanks! And our website traffic is at record highs.
This joy, this energy, this hope we all feel right now? Let it fuel our joyful work, let it fuel a blue tidal wave that saves our democracy!! Volunteer – Donate – Win!

"WE GOT THIS" BRIEFING - WATCH THE VIDEO RECAP!
We've all got whiplash from Joe's out/Kamala's in, so it’s good to realize that our mission remains the same. Not to mention, Harris is off to an incredible start! In just one day, she got the backing of enough delegates to secure the nomination, trended big-time on social with Charli XCX calling her a "brat" (that's a good thing, if you don't speak Gen Z), raised a ton of cashola, and pretty much reinvigorated the entire Democratic party.
Watch the recording of our "We Got This – An up-to-the-minute Field Team 6 Briefing" where we breathe through the whole range what we are feeling plus lay out the current state of play. Our founder Jason Berlin tees things up, plus we hear from FT6 Jedi and Analytics Team Lead Patti Crane, and from original FT6 organizer and BlueVoterGuide.org creator Wayne Liebman, who shares a special heartfelt letter to Joe Biden (see below), followed by some insightful Q-and-A about our path to winning the White House, the Senate and the House...in just over 100 days. So get amped, get pumped, get psyched, and watch HERE.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 27: VOLUNTEER FAIR WITH SEN. SHERROD BROWN + MORE!
Come be inspired by Senator Sherrod Brown – a Democrat who wins in Ohio, a true champion for working and middle class people, and a critical seat for Democrats to maintain control of the Senate. You’ll also hear from Dawn Le – National Political and Government Affairs Director for the United Auto Workers and former national field director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. During 2020, she pivoted field organizing due to the pandemic and was critical to Dems winning back the Senate.
After the speakers speak, choose from a menu of breakout rooms to find volunteer opportunities galore! Field Team 6 will be co-hosting the partisan voter registration room, of course, with our partners Voters of Tomorrow! We have the power to win these races if we put in the work together! Co-hosted by Volunteer Blue and Field Team 6. Join us Wednesday, July 27 at 3p PT/6p ET. RSVP HERE.

PRE-PRINTED POSTCARDS MAKE IT EASIER THAN EVER!
Writing postcards can be a pain in the...wrist! So we've created a kit that'll give your wrists a break while still providing the joy of sending a home-crafted postcard to an unregistered likely Democrat.
Yep, we're talkin' about postcards with a pre-printed address and message! Plus, you can still give the cards a nice personal touch with highlighters, stickers and colored pens. Each kit contains: 100 postcards with a pre-printed message (you’ll write the recipient's name, your name, and just one line of text), the pre-printed address, and an instruction sheet. Plus, you have the option of purchasing stamps. Our first go at this is the Sunshine State of Florida. Purchase your kits HERE!

THE SWEET, DARK CHOCOLATE TASTE OF DEMOCRACY...YUM!!
Forget about boring candy bars with lame square pieces. Try America's favorite (and only!) gerrymandered chocolate bar! It fractures into the same absurd shapes as real gerrymandered congressional districts found in Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana, and North Carolina. Each delicious bar is 52% dark chocolate, vegan, non-GMO, allergen free, and produced in a facility that’s kosher, peanut-free, and gluten- free. And here's the best part – all profits from each bar sold through the link below benefit Field Team 6! So grab a few to gobble, and a few more to share with friends and family. Order yours today at The Chocolate Dispensary by clicking HERE.

A HEARTFELT LETTER TO PRESIDENT BIDEN
Our very own Wayne Liebman wrote an open letter to President Biden upon hearing that he had ended his re-election campaign. Wayne read it live during our “We Got This!” event (above), and you can read it HERE.
This portrait was created by artist and friend of Field Team 6, James McMullan.
