EVERY WEEK IS INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK |
|
In the Great Depression, FDR used the power of the federal government to launch the Works Progress Administration, which put 8.5 million Americans to work building roads, bridges, parks, schools, hospitals, and airfields.
In 2021, the Biden/Harris administration inherited a raging pandemic and a cratering economy. So they passed the wildly successful $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, and now they're ready to take the next step. The American Jobs Plan will renew the country’s aging infrastructure, modernize roads, bridges, and airports, deliver broadband to rural areas, update our electric grid, and address inequality by targeting 40% of clean infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities.
None of this could have happened without record Democratic turnout in the 2020 election and Georgia Senate runoffs. And none of that could have happened without the passion, inspiration, and hard work of one person.
YOU.
It took every single Field Team 6 volunteer, organizer, and donor to help register nearly 3 million swing state Democrats last year. And now, as we face off against a Republican Party hell-bent on passing anti-voter bills, our mission is clear: we need to invest in the infrastructure of democracy itself.
That's what we do every day, registering swing state Democrats. But just like roads, bridges and a successful vaccination distribution plan, it takes real investment in hours and dollars to make it happen. Every time you go on a voter drive, send a postcard, or make a donation, you are helping renew the infrastructure of democracy!
So keep volunteering – keep organizing – keep donating! Because you are how we build our democracy back better!

EXCITING NEW PARTNERSHIP:
THEY SEE BLUE!
We are pleased to announce our partnership with They See Blue, an inspiring group of grassroots activists started by technologists in Silicon Valley with the mission to register South Asian progressives and get them out to vote. They have over 4,000 members in 23 chapters across the US, overlapping many of our battleground target states. During the 2020 election cycle, They See Blue made a total of 1.3 million contacts to South Asian voters using text- and phone-banking, postcards and literature drops, as well as South Asian-focused radio and social media ad campaigns. Over the course of the past year, Field Team 6 and They See Blue have established a deep, robust working relationship and achieved significant milestones in voter registration and outreach. We are excited to take this partnership to the next level of engagement, leveraging the Field Team 6 dataset and They See Blue’s relational outreach methods and peer-to-peer language abilities to reach out to South Asian voters in our target battleground states.

¡¡OUR INAUGURAL 2021
IN-PERSON VOTER DRIVE!!
LET'S RIDE! Are you vaxxed up, fired up, and ready to go? Grab a mask and join us in Orange County, CA next Wednesday for our inaugural 2021 in-person voter drive!
We’ll be trying out lots of new things, including digital registration using Voterizer – so bring your smartphone or tablet if you have one! But don’t worry, we’ll also have paper forms, and start with a training for any newbies or anyone who’s a little rusty after a global pandemic.
We’ll show up for Orange County, where we need to protect our hero Katie Porter in CA-45, and re-flip CA-48 to the beautiful blue we turned it in 2018. (And we’ll be coming for you soon, CA-39!) See you there – can’t wait!
NOTE: For this special drive, we’ll be joined by at least one of the women from the original Seal Team 6, the legendary voter registration crew who are Founding Members of Field Team 6, and were instrumental in flipping Orange County!
OTHER NOTE: Because this is our opening foray, we’re limiting capacity. But if you can’t come to this one, don’t worry – more are on the way!

147 Republicans voted to overturn an American election. We’ve found 3 million unregistered Democrats in their districts. Let’s register every single one we can – and make sure these traitors lose their seats in a landslide.
We want to release our registration Kraken on two traitor targets: Richard Hudson of North Carolina and Carlos Gimenez of Florida. Can you chip in and help us unleash the full force of our digital organizing on every single unregistered likely Democrat in their districts? And remember – by adopting Richard or Carlos, you're helping defeat bonus traitors too! In 2022, every single Democrat we register in North Carolina will help us take the Senate seat Richard Burr is leaving open. And every Dem in Florida will help us beat Governor Ron DeSantis as well as Senator Marco Rubio!
Not sure who to choose? Check out the adoption videos below!

Traitor Richard Hudson (NC-08)
Goal: $7,548; Progress: $3,305

Traitor Carlos Gimenez (FL-26)
Goal: $5,106; Progress: $3,231
