JOIN FACEBOOK BASECAMP!

Since 2019, when we started doing trainings on how to register voters in person, we’ve faced a problem. So many volunteers are hesitant to lead their first voter drive, but would be more than happy to co-lead one.

The problem: how do they find fellow activists to partner with them in target states?

Finally, we have a solution… a new Facebook Group called Field Team 6: Basecamp!

It’s the perfect place to:

– find co-leaders & volunteers for in-person voter drives, whatever your target state

– find co-leaders & volunteers for new phone banks, text banks, postcarding campaigns 

– trade state-specific tips & general best practices for all types of voter registration

So sign up now! And let’s triple our in-person and digital voter drives this year!

BYOP IS BOPPING:

EXPANDING TO FIVE STATES!

You know BYOP, the groundbreaking type of free text bank where we avoid expensive texting software by training you to text from your computer using your own Google Voice number or data plan?

BYOP has been hard at work in Wisconsin, but we want to do more. Five states more!

Yes, BYOP is now available (for those already trained) to help turn the tide in more critical 2023 races. And more trainings are on the way! So if you want to help flip the WI Supreme Court in that crucial April election, or fight for abortion rights under threat in Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia, and (coming soon) Mississippi and New Jersey, then you're in luck!

If you are already trained up, click HERE to get some of that textual healing!

TODAY, FEBRUARY 9: LAST DAY FOR BAKE BACK BETTER;

ORDER UP CUPCAKES NOW!

Want to make your Valentine happy, devour delicious cupcakes, and save the world, all at the same time? Bake Back Better with Field Team 6!

The task is simple and mouth-watering: Act now to make the deadline of 6p today, donate at least $35 to Field Team 6, and by Tuesday, February 14, our partner Bake Back Better will deliver four delectable chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting to your door (or to a door of your choosing)! The sweets can be delivered within the Seattle city limits, within the greater Los Angeles metro area, and in the San Francisco Bay Area (where if you donate at least $100, you’ll also get a super-yummy limited-edition Bake Back Better 3-Cookie Valentine’s Set)!

Here's one more reason to make this Valentine's Day extra sweet: Competition! At the moment this fundraiser is almost as successful as the cupcake campaign for Senator Raphael Warnock’s runoff, but do we settle for almost? Heck no! So click HERE to order your Bake Back Better cupcakes today, because democracy is delicious... especially when it comes with the sweet, sweet aftertaste of victory.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10 & ON: WISCONSIN SUPREME BLITZ

Everett Mitchell and Janet Protasiewicz. Two names we need to start pronouncing correctly and loudly! (Say pro-tuh-SAY-witz.) Why? Because one of them could tip the balance on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and restore sanity (and democracy!) to the Badger State.

A bit of backstory: in 2011, the Wisconsin GOP gerrymandered control of the state legislature with the most corrupt maps ever seen and the Republican-majority state Supreme Court let them. That led to results like this, from 2018: Republicans won 46 percent of the statewide vote but 64 percent of the seats in the state Assembly. That is some gerrymandering! But now one of those Trumpy justices is retiring. She tried to ban absentee ballot drop boxes in 2021, so good riddance!

That one seat — if we can elect Judge Everett or Judge Janet — will flip the majority to progressive. Then we can fix those maps. And ditch the crazy 1849 abortion ban (that took effect thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court gutting Roe). And beat back the ongoing attacks on voting rights. Yep. This election's stakes are incredibly high.

That's why, in the run-up to this key April 4th election, we're partnering with our friends at The Union 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! Next up: Friday, February 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, February 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.

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!

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8:

PARTY LEADERS PARTY!

Calling all State and County Democratic Party Leaders! This one's for you — and only for you:

Our mission is simple: “Register Democrats. Save the World.”

To bring this mission to the widest audience ever, Field Team 6 is hosting the first-of-its-kind Register Democrats Summit on March 16, 2023.
