WORLDS SAVED: 1
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS REGISTERED BY 11/21: 1,570,600
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS REGISTERED BY 11/22: coming soon
TOTAL VOTER TOUCHES TO DATE: 37,035,334
DAYS UNTIL WI SUPREME COURT ELECTION: 12

|
FULL THROTTLE IN WISCONSIN | |
|
12 days until the all-important Wisconsin Supreme Court Election!! The good news is, everything you do from now through close of polls on 4/4 counts even more. Because despite the millions of dollars of TV ads for the Trump Republican Dan Kelly, more Democratic voters are waking up, tuning in, registering, and early voting every day for Janet Protasiewicz (pro-tuh-SAY-witz)!
If we win, we flip the Supreme Court liberal for the first time since 2008 – winning the chance to fix abortion rights, protect voting rights, and draw up fair congressional maps in the country’s most gerrymandered state. So this improves our chances of winning the House and the White House in 2024.
We can do this, if we all pull together!
If you haven’t yet, sign up for just one thing, whether it’s our new text bank, phone bank, postcard party, text bank, text arcade Tuesday, or live voter drive. Or donate! Every donation allows us to text and email more Wisconsinites, and register them to vote for Democrats!
No time to lose! Here’s where to volunteer, and where to donate. In 2020, Wisconsin saved the Republic, voting for Biden/Harris by about 20,000 votes. Let’s return the favor by helping them flip their Supreme Court!

REGISTER DEMOCRATS SUMMIT: A SMASHING SUCCESS!
Our mission is simple: “Register Democrats. Save the World.” And we've learned so much about executing that mission in the last four years. So hosting a gigantic knowledge-sharing, strategy-honing, partner-spotlighting, morale-boosting summit was the natural culmination of this journey.
Seriously, how could we not? Hence, last week's Register Democrats Summit, featuring 5 sitting members of Congress, 3 Secretaries of State, 1 Attorney General, and a bevy of drag queen activists... as well as galvanizing candidates, super organizers, and thought leaders in everything from messaging to fundraising to emerging tech!
1,081 people attended and enjoyed a pro-democracy booster shot of inspiring panelists and awesome workshops. Hundreds more have started watching the recordings. That's right... we recorded all the sessions and they're up (or going up) on our website and YouTube channel now! And podcast versions are HERE.
So without further ado, here are direct links to all the current goodies as well as some testimonials that give us all the feels:
"It was AMAZING! Kudos to you and your team for getting such an
incredible lineup of Democratic do-gooders." — Jackie F
"Wow - you all really know how to not only save our democracy, you know how to have a really super fun time doing it. I love Field Team 6.
Great presentations from inspirational speakers.
Can't thank you enough for all the real hope you give. Love you all." — Gwen S
"This was even better than I expected.
All the sessions were not just informative, but also inspirational.
I left feeling more encouraged than when I started." — Annette D
"F%$#@g BRILLIANT!!!" — Rebecca N
Thanks all! We're so very glad you enjoyed it live or recorded!

FRIDAY, MARCH 24 & ON: PROTASIEWICZ 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-witz!)
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:
NEW Final Text Bank! – 2 days before the election, help text women who are unregistered, likely Dems, reminding them to register and vote at their poll on Election Day. Training provided! Sunday, April 2 from 12:15-2:15p CT. RSVP HERE.
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 24 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 28 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!

FIELD TEAM 6 WANTS YOU:
TO HAVE A SPRING FLING!
In the Before Times, we had backyard fundraisers of all sorts. Bands and comics, tacos and raffles, wine and beer. In the pandemic's early days we pioneered a cornucopia of Zoom fundraisers: Trivia nights, short film fests, musicals, video clip parties, Flamenco dance-offs, and more.
Now that we've been vaxxed and boosted—and can see each other in-person again—we've had some fantastic in-person fundraisers: Ballots Over Broadway 3 & 4 (on 11/3/21 & 10/1/22) Abortion Rights (7/23/22), Mozart Saves Democracy (9/24/22) and My Friend's in a Band (9/29/22). We'd love to do more.
"Because these shindigs are not only incredibly fun, but also crucial to fundraising?" you ask. Yes, you're exactly right!
You can host a Field Team 6 fundraiser, and we can show you how! You don't have to be a party planning professional or soirée savant to host a backyard BBQ, a movie screening, or a trivia night that can easily raise $2-5k for the cause. Plus we still love Zoom events (see Summit above) so that's an option we're whizzes at as well. If you throw a get-together for your friends/family—and do a little coordinating with us—Jason can absolutely show up and present to your circle of friends in person or via Zoom. He's really good at firing up people to help save democracy!
The money you raise will make a monstrous difference. Field Team 6 is super efficient with contributions: every $1.50 we raise helps register one new Democrat. And since we are the only national organization working every day in the most flippable states and districts, each dollar—and each new voter—has an outsized impact. When you see how Adam Frisch lost by just 546 votes to Lauren BooBert, it's clearer than ever that every vote counts. And Field Team 6 turns dollars into Democrats.
So if you like a little socializing, and living in a democratic country, and you have a few friends who feel the same way... how about hosting a Field Team 6 fundraiser of your own? We promise to handhold you through the process. And then make you proud, adn save democracy!
Please email us at Contributions@FieldTeam6.org for more info...
