EXPLODE THROUGH THE RIBBON | |
When does our work stop? The runner never stops at the finish line – she explodes through the ribbon. So that’s exactly what we’re doing! Our work for this cycle stops when Election Day is over, and not a moment before.
Many people ask: When do you switch from voter registration to Get Out The Vote?
The answer is: We get out the vote every time we register Democrats!
That’s the beauty and power of partisan voter registration. We never just register Democrats – we share the names of candidates, what Democrats stand for, and when to vote. Canvassing is built into our registration process.
And that’s why we don't stop!
Though deadlines have hit in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, we are still registering new Democrats at top speed in Pennsylvania and California swing districts until 10/24. And that’s not all!
We are also registering Democrats
• in North Carolina during Early Voting
• in Nevada during Early Voting AND on Election Day
• in Wisconsin during Early Voting AND on Election Day
• in California swing districts during Early Voting AND on Election Day
And that’s still not all! Recent donations are allowing us to expand the map into swing districts in Kansas (Rep. Sharice Davids!) and Michigan (Rep. Elissa Slotkin!), and we have contingency plans in place for digital voter drives in 7 more swing districts in Michigan, Iowa, and Colorado if donations allow. (Help with that HERE!)
Regardless of donations, we will keep phone banking, social media storming, and doing free BYOP textbanking until November 8th at 8p Pacific, when the last polls close in California, our last target state in our last time zone!
Unlike Liz Truss and Sarah Palin, we do not quit.
We have so many events in the next 19 days! Sign up below – donate above – and let’s win this for everyone we love!

SWIPE BLUE... AND WIPE OUT MAGA WITH A HANDY APP!
How does an app like Tinder but for Democratic voting sound? Pretty darn good! SwipeBlue is the first app designed to defeat MAGA Republicans and elect Democrats.
How? It matches your phone contacts to find all your Democratic friends, then helps you send a personalized text to encourage them to vote. ‘Cause messages from friends are 29 times more effective than from strangers.
Field Team 6 has partnered with SwipeBlue because It could be a game-changer for the November election (and because we have secret plans to turn SwipeBlue into a registration tool for next cycle). And best of all, it's free. Download the app HERE.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24:
GEORGIA PHONE BANK!
Want to help keep Georgia blue in November? Then join our phone bank – we’re contacting eligible voters (aka likely Democrats) in The Peach State. While the voter registration deadline has passed for the 11/8 election, a runoff election on December 6 is highly likely. And that could decide the Senate majority! The deadline to register for the runoff is 11/7, so we’re gonna keep registering Democrats in GA. Join us Mondays, 3-5p PT. We’re happy to train ya, too! Sign up HERE.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27:
BYOP TEXTBANKS ARE BACK!
Free texting continues this week, to states like Pennsylvania and California whose deadlines have not yet hit, and now with updated scripts for Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, where there is some combination of registration during early voting and/or at the polls on Election Day! This is our No Voter Left Behind strategy.
BYOP stands for "Bring Your Own Phone," but most people use a free Google Voice number. Don't know what that means? That's ok! We're bootcamping this very afternoon… Thursday, October 27 at 4p PT. We’ll answer all your questions, and train you how to text from your computer!
(If you already know how, you're way ahead of the game!) And then you can do it on your own time, whenever you like!
We're texting swing states and districts all across the nation… all home to vital contests in the battle to save democracy. Let's register Democratic voters who can elect Democrats up and down the ballot!
We've upgraded the tech with some sassy Chrome extensions that turn this into a two-click operation! If you have an ActionID, Chrome browser, and software to text from your computer, you're ready. RSVP right HERE.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8:
ELECTION SLACK WATCH PARTY!
It all comes down to this. In just over two weeks the country votes, and we find out if Congress remains in the hands of Democrats who will stand up for our rights and back the Jan 6th Committee’s efforts to defend our democracy… or falls to a Republican majority that will shut down the Committee entirely, and continue the assault on our freedoms that began with overturning Roe.
It'll be a nailbiter, and way too stressful to face alone. So as the results roll in, join us on Tuesday, November 8 from 4-11p PT—after you vote, of course!*— and we'll ride this wave together. Hopefully, a big, overpowering blue wave!
We've been working hard to register progressive voters and fight for bold Democratic candidates up and down ballot in states all across our great land. Now it all pays off. Sign up HERE and be a part of it through our Zoom and Slack virtual hangout.
*We highly suggest voting early—like weeks early—for this and many, many reasons.
