ACTIVISM IS CAFFEINE FOR THE SOUL

A code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

Nationally guaranteed abortion rights.

LGBTQ+ rights. Civil rights. Workers’ rights.

More affordable health care access.

More affordable college.

Climate rescue measures.

Continued support for Ukraine as it defends the frontlines of democracy.

Game-changing voting rights legislation, including online voter registration in every state, anti-gerrymandering protections, and mandatory mail-in voting and early voting options.

A stable democracy that can defend itself against fascism.

A government that looks like us, listens to us, and works for us.


These are just a few of the good things we get if we can register enough new Democrats to win elections this year and in 2024. 


It'll probably happen, so let's take off the rest of the year and really hit it hard in January. Just kidding! There's so much to do right now! We have young people to register, partnerships to build, and vital 2023 elections to swing – knowing wink to Justice Janet Protasiewicz (WI), Mayor Brandon Johnson (IL) and Mayor Donna Deegan (FL)! And the only way we restore the Democratic trifecta in November '24 is to register Democrats now.


So fire up the coffee pot and let's get to registering! We've got lots of Volunteer Opportunities to help win the crucial special August election in Ohio, where the registration deadline hits in 18 days, on July 10. And we're raising money to buy records for more unregistered folks in Ohio, so we'll put any dollar you have to maximum use. Of course, we also need your help in every other target state, so pick the one that floats your boat. Your volunteering and donating is making the difference every single day.


Elections have consequences. And activism wins elections. So let’s activate!

BIG BREAKING NEWS

ADOPT-A-STATE – CHOOSE YOUR OWN BATTLEGROUND!


Adopting a state is a great way to go deep with your donations and make a huge difference.


That's why we've drawn up field plans for our 12 target states in 2024 – and now for our 5 target states in 2023 as well! (Our 2024 targets are AZ, CA, GA, MI, MT, NC, NV, NY, OH, PA, WI, WV. Our 2023 targets are KY, LA, MS, NJ, VA.)


Each state's field plan tells you 1) how much we need to raise in order to do the most good we can, and 2) how many new Democratic voters we expect to register with that budget. If you, your friends & family, or your organization adopts a state, you can help win that state up and down the ballot!


This process works. In '22, Angel Treinen and Onward Toward Progress adopted Nevada and raised $55k for Field Team 6. That allowed us to conduct the most comprehensive outreach we've ever done. And it succeeded wildly, winning 3 swing House seats and 1 swing Senate seat, among other historic results. With your help, we can duplicate this success everywhere.


Thanks to your Adopt-a-State donor efforts, Field Team 6 raised enough money to buy data on 30,000 unregistered likely Democrats in Montana and another 30,000 in Ohio! And we're hoping to raise enough at this coming weekend's Activist Boogie to be able to buy another 30,000 in Ohio!

 

So check out our field plans HERE, adopt a state, and thank you for saving democracy! (Want to adopt a district instead, with a lower budget? Let us know HERE and we'll draw up a field plan!)

SUNDAY, JUNE 25 @ 7P-12A

GET YOUR SWEET BOOGIE ON AND PARTY FOR OHIO!

It is the month of Juneteenth, Pride and Finding Out (in the form of Trump’s first federal indictment—FAFO, Donnie!).


And as this most fabulous of months draws to a close we’re raising the roof and raising money for a fabulous cause: the August special election in Ohio. We’re registering new Ohio Democrats so we can beat back a GOP sponsored amendment to Ohio’s constitution that would raise the threshold for approving future amendments to 60%—something the villains want to get done before a possible November ballot measure to codify abortion rights. Shady as hell!


So this weekend—Sunday June 25 from 7p to midnight—if you're in Los Angeles or able to get here, come sing, dance, and party the night away at Molly Malone’s pub with all your favorite activists! We’ll have live bands, dancing, and karaoke—including a special performance by Democratic activist, Substacker, and political social media influencer Jess Craven. Sure, you’ve seen her VIDEOS, but our girl can also sing! RSVP HERE to grab your ticket and join the fun! Can't make it? There's an option to sponsor a song!

HOST A ZOOM PARTY WITH FOUNDER JASON BERLIN!

Do you have one or two or 10 friends interested in helping save the world with the original pirates of partisan voter registration? Let’s set up a 30 minute Zoom fundraiser!


In 15 minutes, Founder Jason Berlin will share Field Team 6’s inspiring results, big plans, and how donations can help win it all in 2024. Then he'll answer all your questions – and you're done!


And chances are, one of the people in your group may know some other interested people, and do their own Zoom! It’s Obama’s snowflake model of organizing, applied to fundraising.


Bring together your friends, family, neighbors, alums, book club, you name it... Contact us HERE, and we’ll do the rest!

EVENTS

THURSDAY, JUNE 22 & ON:

OHIO... COME ON DOWN!

Ohio’s first voter registration deadline is fast approaching (July 10… yikes!) and there’s so much going on there. It’s a critical state this year AND next! First, there’s an August special election where Republicans are pushing a referendum to make it harder to pass future popular referendums. (It’s a naked power grab by one of the most corrupt GOP cabals in the nation.) We need to register enough Democrats right now to VOTE THIS DOWN.


Then by the November 2023 general election, we need to register enough Democrats to pass an amendment cementing abortion rights in the state constitution. And keep that momentum rolling into 2024 so we can re-elect Sherrod Brown, one of our most vulnerable (and best) senators, in order to keep our all-important Senate majority.


So sign up for our upcoming events, and help register hordes of new Buckeye Democrats to vote those GOP weasels out!


Thursday, June 22 from 4-5p PT –– BYOP Texting. Sign up HERE and get trained in how to send free texts, using a Google Voice account or your phone plan! Or if you're already trained, dive in HERE!

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, June 25 from 10a-12p PT. Click HERE for more info and to RSVP.

SUNDAY, JUNE 25:

NEW CA-27 PHONE BANK!

California has so many swing districts that flipping just some could allow us to take back the House in '24!


One of those districts is California's 27th, the only remaining Republican district in LA County. It's represented by traitorous MAGA-bot Mike Garcia, who campaigned as a moderate, then promptly joined the Insurrection Caucus in voting to overturn Biden's victory. Let's retire him.


Join Field Team 6 for the first installment of this new weekly phone bank on Sunday, June 25 from 2:30-4:30p PT and call unregistered likely Democrats to get them registered.


In 2024, we can take back this seat! All training is provided. RSVP HERE.

TUESDAY, JUNE 27:

TEXT ARCADES ARE FUN!

Text Arcades are a-rockin! They're a super-fast text bank where 100% of your ticket funds the text bank. Amazing donors are helping defray costs, so you only have to pay 25 buckeroos. Plus, we cap attendance to guarantee you’ll get to send 1400 texts.


Our latest Text Arcade target is Ohio. In the crucial November election, voters will have the chance to firmly cement abortion access as an amendment to the state constitution.


So sign up HERE for any or all of the below Arcades: 


OH: Tuesday June 27 @ 3p PT

MT: Tuesday July 11 @ 3p PT

NY: Tuesday July 18 @ 3p PT

AZ: Tuesday July 25 @ 3p PT

GA: Tuesday August 1 @ 3p PT

OH: Tuesday August 8 3p PT


One more thing: since Ohio is a new target for us this cycle, we’re trying to raise more cashola to buy even more data on unregistered likely Dem voters, so please donate HERE to help us crush the GOP.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

"THE WORLD IS WHAT YOU BAKE OF IT" - ANONYMOUS

Great news for lovers of democracy and cupcakes!


Our partner Bake Back Better is holding a fundraiser for Field Team 6 partner, NEAZ (Northeast Arizona Native Democrats). We are very excited to be doing partisan voter registration on sovereign lands, and hope to build on this to work with other Native American organizations, too. 


Bake Back Better is looking for Los Angeles-based bakers and drivers to fulfill cupcake orders in the LA area for the NEAZ fundraiser. Donations means FT6 gets to do even more voter registration with NEAZ!


Cupcake bake: July 28-30

Cupcake delivery: July 30-Aug 2


Are you able to help bake? Drive? Both? Please get in touch with NEAZ's CCO (Chief Cupcake Officer) Jennifer Eis at her email right HERE.

PRIDE MONTH IS HERE... AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT!

Pride Month may be winding down, but Pride events continue all year—which is fantastic because Pride events are the number one places to register eager new Democrats in person!  


Field Team 6 has partnered with The Union and Crimson Goes Blue at pride events this month and beyond. We'd love small or large groups of our awesome volunteers to celebrate by registering voters at fun parades and gatherings wherever you find them! Even better if you can get to a Pride Event in our 12 target states: AZ, CA, GA, MI, MT, NC, NV, NY, OH, PA, WI and WV!


Fired up and ready to go? Check out existing Pride Registration Events at Volunteer Ops on our site. Find all you need to set up your own voter drive in Voter Drive in a Box. Email Voter Drive Coach Jo Ann at helpmydrive@fieldteam6.org to connect volunteers to your event, connect you to existing events, and answer any questions!


Want something even easier? Go HERE and print out QR codes that people can scan with their phone cameras and register themselves… Or download a screen to your phone, and do the same thing digitally.


For dates and times, check out this Pride Event Calendar, one of many you can find online. And prepare to have a blast: in our experience, people at Pride events are not only very progressive, but delighted to meet you. And the voters we register could decide who wins multiple elections, as well as the fate of democracy itself.


This is how we build the America we dream of, conversation by conversation. An America we can take Pride in!

POSTCARDS & SNAZZY TEES, & SIGNS IN STORE!

We also have a full range of Jamie Rodgers, Shepard Fairey and James McMullan postcards and QR t-shirts linking to Voterizer.org, making it a snap for anyone to register as a Democrat!

Click HERE to order a whole bunch of all of 'em!
