REGISTER
DONATE

GO! GO! GO!

5 DAYS OUT. Steady as she goes.

Polls don’t matter, pundits don’t matter.

The work is all that matters now.

 

So try this. 

Think about one person who is precious to you. 

Think about why you love them… and how far your love goes beyond why.

(This person can be yourself.)

Think about how much better their life will be in the new, loving world we are working to create. Deep breath.

Now you’re ready to do the work.

 

Vote. Volunteer. Donate.

Register one more swing state Democrat.

Let one more voter know where to vote.

Text all your friends to make sure they’re voting.

Share BlueVoterGuide.org with everyone you know, for help voting in swing states.

Make one more call, send one more text, post one more tweet.

Do not stop until close of polls on November 8. 

 

And then? Step back.

The results will be complex, and take days or weeks to fully sort out. But whatever those results, celebrate what you have done.

 

Because you are doing so much more than dreaming of a beautiful world. You’re doing the work to create that world: putting on your thickest skin to protect that giant heart, armed only with your smile, you’re making your way through crowds of people you can’t help, just to find that next good-hearted person, and turn them into a good-hearted voter.

 

SO KEEP GOING! SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE!

A TALE OF TWO EMAILS...

OR, YOU KNOW, 450K. 

We register Democrats in every possible way, and a few impossible ones too. Email winds up being one of the most cost-effective, valuable ways of registering new Democrats and getting out the vote. Here’s a behind-the-scenes effort that was so huge we thought it should not remain behind the scenes.


When we get a new donation we move with the quickness and put it straight into the field. Late-breaking donations (Thank you for those!) are exactly why yesterday, we were able to send voter registration emails to 250,000 unregistered, likely Dems in NC, WI and key swing districts in CA and MI.


Then we sent another 200,000 GOTV emails to Democratic voters we helped register across all 9 of our target states. That final touch is often what gets people to the polls.


So yes, in total we sent out 450,000 emails yesterday. That’s a great day!! Thank you to every single donor for making that possible!

SOCIAL STORMING... IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL AROUND HERE.

We've often given shout-outs to our amazing Social Stormers. They're a feisty, dedicated bunch. Creative, too! But right now, we need to shout even louder... like, hoarse-for-a-week-after kind of shout.


Why?


15,000 tweets with over 95 million impressions... in one week! That's why.


That means our pro-Democracy messages and calls to action (help register more Democrats in swing states, yo) are getting out there and being seen. It's the kind of online wave-making that leads to a Blue Tsunami! So—in the shoutiest of shouty voices—thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 


With mere days to the midterms, let's continue to flood Twitter with messages about voting, early voting, same day registration, RideShare2Vote, protecting abortion rights, Blue Voter Guide... all of it!


As always, you can send out our posts any time you like (find some of our super cool posts right HERE) or join us on Election Day (see Election Day Actions under Events below) for one last Social Storm (and training/socializing if you want it) to carry us across the finish line. And THANK YOU in advance, with whatever voice we have left.

EVENTS

TODAY!!! — NOVEMBER 3:

BYOP IS THE WAY TO BE

Free texting continues for one last super critical pre-midterm burst. We've got updated scripts for several swing states and a noble goal of No Voter Left Behind!


BYOP—which stands for "Bring Your Own Phone"—is perfect for people with an unlimited texting plan. Or you can use a free Google Voice number. Either way, if you already know how to text from your computer, you're way ahead of the game! If you don’t, we’ll show you… it’s easy!


We’ve got a BYOP bootcamp this very afternoon: Thursday, November 3 at 4p PT. We’ll answer all your questions, train you how to text from your computer, and share cool scripts which you can totally make your own as you join us in texting swing states and districts where registration deadlines still haven't hit… each home to vital contests in the battle to save democracy! RSVP right HERE.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3 & ON: UNLEASH THE TEXTS!

"A textbank a day keeps the fascists away."


It's true! The power of texting in voter registration is undeniable. So Field Team 6 and our partners have cooked up a powerful batch of textbanks for a final push to the midterms. Have a taste! (Free. All times local. Training provided. Click links to RSVP.)


Text North Carolina & MichiganThursday November 3, 12-2p PT/3-5p ET (w/New North Carolina Project & The Union) In North Carolina, you can register and vote during early voting all the way up until 11/5 and in Michigan, which has 3 key swing House districts, you can register all the way up 'til close of polls. Let's get it done!


Text CA-41 (Rollins), CA-45 (Chen), CA-47 (Porter)Friday November 4, 10a-12p PT/1-3p ET (w/the Will Rollins campaign, The Union, and Fearless Action). California swing districts are crucial to holding onto our House majority. Will Rollins, Jay Chen and Katie Porter (along with her whiteboard of justice) are great bets to do just that, but they need our help. Texting likely Dems in their districts days before the election is huge!


Each of these is a superfast textbank using the Spoke Rewired platform! You'll be reaching out to eligible voters with a new, fine-tuned message about abortion rights and inflation, and this surge of outreach could be what wins us these districts!

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5:

KNOCK KNOCK. WHO'S THERE? DEMOCRACY, JANE FONDA, AND YOU!

Save our democracy and hobnob with the brightest lights in entertainment and politics? Yes, you can! Join us in Hungtington Beach, Saturday, November 5 from 12-3p PT to knock on doors and Get Out The Vote for the amazing Congresswoman Katie Porter, as well as Dems up and down the ballot.


And did we mention the hobnobbing? ‘Cause kicking off the canvass will be Jane Fonda and Congresswoman Katie Porter herself!


And Field Team 6 Founder Jason Berlin will be there to canvass too!

 

Never canvassed for a political campaign before? No problem! The Katie Porter campaign starts all their canvass shifts with a training, so you’ll feel comfortable and confident. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm and a charged-up smartphone with the PDI Mobile app downloaded in advance. For your comfort, prepare for the weather with water, sunscreen, and your favorite walking shoes.

You’ll be treated to an aural variety show, including highlights from our events, interviews, skits, the scoop on fabulous fundraisers like Ballots Over Broadway, and cool new ways you can support Field Team 6, the only national organization devoted to partisan voter registration all year, every year.

I DRINK WINE AND I LOVE...  DEMOCRACY!

Brian Tyler Cohen, besides being a world-class podcaster, is a mensch whose menschliness knows no bounds. And that is why he is helping sell this wine he named CODIFY ROE-sé – and donating his entire cut of the profit to Field Team 6.


Click HERE to get your bottles now – it's the perfect way to toast everything we've accomplished together! And to help us register more new Democrats! We toast to you, Brian! And to winning these midterms!!

DEMOCRATS ARE GREAT

AT MESSAGING! REALLY!

There’s just one reason Field Team 6 is at the cutting edge of making sure all of our messaging (on social media, in our newsletter, on our website, in target ads, in our text and phone bank and postcard scripts, etc.) is up to the minute and the most effective it can be: Patti Crane. 


Not only is Patti an essential part of our volunteer steering committee, she sits in on literally dozens of calls a week with messaging groups and gurus at the front lines of changing this old saw that Democrats are @#$! at messaging. She then cooks it all down into a fine roux and passes it along in a way that is useful.


In all of her spare time, she runs GrassrootsMessagingWorks.org, creating social media toolkits to change the conversation out there in the zeitgeist and make sure progressives are aware that it is not Ds vs. Rs, it is democracy vs. autocracy on the line. Clearly Biden and Obama are paying attention!


Speaking of podcasts, find her interview on The Great Battlefield HERE. Be inspired!

GORGEOUS POSTCARDS AND SNAZZY TEES, SIGNS & MORE!

Along with our Magic Voter Registration Handout Cards and 3 new yard signs, 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!
