7 DAYS TO THE *REGISTER DEMOCRATS SUMMIT*

Here is a huge story that is almost never reported: across the country, the overwhelming majority of organizers, activists, volunteers, and Democratic voters are women.


So this Women’s Day, we celebrate women being the biggest single driving force behind positive change in society. Women make up a vast majority of the progressive movement, and of Field Team 6. Yet despite also being a majority of the American population, women are dramatically underrepresented in government. Changing this is part of our mission at Field Team 6 – where most of the new Democrats we register are women, young people, and people of color.


Next Thursday, 3/16, we take a huge step forward in this mission as we host the first-of-its-kind Register Democrats SummitIt’s a free, all-day, all-Zoom event that’s bursting with goodness. That’s why we have almost 900 signups!


The talent lineup is staggering, from electeds like Rep. Katie Porter (CA) to visionaries like WisDems Chair Ben Wikler, to messaging gurus Jen Ancona (Way to Win), Tom Bonier (TargetSmart), Terrance Woodbury (HIT Strategies), and Simon Rosenberg (formerly NDN).


Learn to fundraise for grassroots from the luminaries at ActBlue and Grassroots Analytics, as well as our own star fundraiser Angel Treinen of Onward Toward Progress!


Pick up secrets on the youth vote that is already swinging federal elections.


See demos of game-changing software – and in some cases get a chance to win free access or grants – from Mobilize, NGP VAN, Civitech, Catalist, TargetSmart, Warchest, Impactive, SpeechifAI and more. Get updates on the always-free Blue Voter Guide, soon available in all 50 states. There’s just too much to list here – for more details, SIGN UP HERE!


And let’s spark enough voter drives that we can make every day Women’s Day!

YO! FT6 RAPS: MUSIC VIDEO WORLD PREMIERE

ROSIE THE RIVETER SAYS: "HELP BUILD OUR FT6 TEAM!"

EVENTS

FRIDAY, MARCH 10 & ON: WISCONSIN SUPREME BLITZ

It could not be more important to elect Judge Janet Protasiewicz to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on 4/4! (Say pro-tuh-SAY-witz, then say hoo-RAY!)


That one seat will flip the majority to progressive, allowing us to fix the massively gerrymandered congressional maps. And ditch the crazy 1849 abortion ban. And restore voting rights.


That's why we're partnering with our friends at The Union and Progress North on a massive voter registration and GOTV effort. We need all hands on deck, so please help out with as many of these events as you can:


Friday Phone Banks – every Friday till the election we're calling likely Democratic voters in WI. We'll train you! And we'll introduce you to our nifty—and very futuristic—new auto-dialer. Next up: Friday, March 10 from 12-2p CT. RSVP HERE.


Tuesday Text Arcades – It's just $25 a ticket and 100% of that funds the text bank. Short on cash but want to text? Email us HERE and we'll help. The next Arcade is Tuesday, March 14 at 3p PT / 5p CT. Sign up HERE!


WI Postcarding – go HERE to get everything you need to start postcarding to the Badger State.


Social Storming – go HERE to find a whole bunch of Wisconsin assets (hiding in the Wisconsin category) to push out immediately on your favorite platform. And follow judge Janet Protasiewicz on Twitter and amplify her Tweets!


And if you can't join us for any of those events, you can always donate to help meet our all-important data needs for Wisconsin HERE, so we can contact all the kids who have just turned 18, and so many more! That helps immensely. So let's gooooooo!

SUNDAY, MARCH 12:

SAVE DEMOCRACY WITH FRIENDS!

Are you vaxxed, maxxed (on your love of democracy) and ready to roll? Then Field Team 6 and Civic Sundays have just the thing for you: fun, in-person events to save our nation!


Civic Sundays LA is now meeting in person on Sunday mornings at private locations in the Silverlake/Los Feliz/Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles. There are always multiple ways you can get involved in supporting progressive candidates up and down the ballot, locally and nationwide. Phonebanking, textbanking, postcarding and digital letter writing will be among the offerings—and you get to do it in person with your new friends!


Next up is Sunday, March 12 from 10a-12p PT. Click HERE for more info and to RSVP.

TUESDAY, MARCH 14:

WISCONSIN TEXT BANK!

Because Wisconsin's Supreme Court election is so critically important we're adding opportunities to make a difference as fast as we can!


Like this Wisconsin Text Bank with two of our awesome partners: The Union and Progress North!


It's a superfast textbank using the Spoke Rewired platform and it's going down on Tuesday, March 14 at 3-5p PT / 5-7p CT. You can RSVP HERE.


Help us make sure people are registered to vote, that they can safely vote from home, and that they'll be voting for Judge Janet Protasiewicz on April 4.
