Two days ago, Field Team 6 announced jaw-dropping achievements and game-changing goals for the 2023-24 election cycle.

The Strategy Briefing, called “Wait, Wait, DO Tell Me,” kicked off with a parody of the NPR staple, hosted by super-podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen and featuring as panelists our Czar of Most Things Sharon Lord Greenspan, Text Bank Captain Dana Williams, and Zoe Perry, star of TV’s Scandal, Young Sheldon, and The Family. 

We presented results from a landmark voter registration study we conducted. The randomized controlled trial (RCT) used a sample size of 168,000 eligible voters across four swing states, the largest sample size in history of a study like this. It found definitively that what we are doing matters, moving the needle in a gigantic way.

We then revealed the biggest number we’ve ever achieved: 2,888,049. That’s the total number of Democratic voters we’ve helped register since we started, just after the 2018 midterms. We owe this incredible achievement to every volunteer hour and donor dollar, and to every partner organization who joined us to do this democracy-saving work.

We also celebrated the smallest number we’ve ever achieved: $0.65! That’s our cost per voter in the 2022 cycle… far less than the already staggeringly low $1.50/voter we achieved in the 2020 cycle. That’s a product of volunteer power lowering our costs across the board. And a result of not having to pay to build a database from scratch, since we paid for the great majority of our eligible voter database in the 2020 cycle.

Finally, we unveiled more details on our big, hairy, audacious goal for this cycle: WIN. IT. ALL. Keep the White House, hold our 51-seat Senate majority, and take back the House.

To do that? We will need to raise $3 million to help register 3 million more Democratic voters. Achieving this would up our cost to $1/voter, which we need to do in order to buy more records in states we’re working in for the first time, like Ohio, Montana, and New York. Achieving this would also swing elections across the country.WIN. IT. ALL.

The only bad news we delivered is that our fundraising is currently down by 67% over last year. We need to make up for lost time so we can keep this momentum, and keep breaking records this year and next! So keep volunteering—keep donating—keep helping behind the scenes—and let’s do what we came to do. WIN. IT. ALL.

DEMOCRACY’S GREAT!

ADOPT-A-STATE!

Now that Field Team 6 has helped register 2,888,049 new Democratic and progressive independent voters, what's next?

3,000,000 more—that’s what!

That’s right, our goal is to help register 3,000,000 new Democratic voters by the 2024 election, and restore the Democratic trifecta that will pass game-changing voting rights, codify abortion rights, and beat back fascism once and for all!

We’ve got lots of data—and we need to buy more! We’ll use it to contact as many likely Democratic voters in our 12 target states as we can.

That’s where you come in. Whether you’re a grassroots donor or an organization looking to partner with us, we’d love for you to adopt a state and help fund these vital data and outreach efforts. Together, as in 2018, 2020, and 2022, we can make the difference.

Check out the Field Plan for each target state and please click on through to its ActBlue page to donate or share with your org. Want to adopt a state and help raise the money to register new Democrats there? Reach out HERE. And thank you!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 

2.8 MILLION THANK YOUS!

2,888,049 million new Democrats! We are not tired of that number yet, are you?That’s pretty much the entire population of a small country (lookin’ at you, Albania) in new Democratic voters. And we owe it all to our amazing volunteers and donors.

That's why we’re looking for volunteers to help us write “thank you” postcards to all the amazing people who donated their time, money, and boundless energy to get us here. Click HERE to join our thank you campaign, knowing that the next postcard you write could be to you!

THURSDAY, APRIL 27 & ON:

OHIO... COME ON DOWN!

Now that we’ve secured big wins in Wisconsin & Chicago, we turn our attention immediately to Ohio—which is critical this year AND next! By November 2023, we need to register enough Democrats to pass an amendment cementing abortion rights in the state constitution. And in 2024, in order to keep our Senate majority, we need to re-elect Sherrod Brown, one of our most vulnerable (and best) senators!

So sign up for our upcoming events, and help register hordes of new Buckeye Democrats to vote those GOP weasels out!

THURSDAY, APRIL 27 & ON:

SAVE OUR 1-SEAT DEM MAJORITY IN PA!

Pennsylvania is one of the most important swing states in the country. And Democrats have a one-seat majority in the Pennsylvania State House. We need to defend that majority by re-electing Democrat Heather Boyd to House District 163 in the special election this May 16!

It is that Democratic majority in the PA State House that ensured Republicans could not pass an abortion ban. Let's hold the line!

Send postcards HERE to register more Democrats in this crucial district.

Go to a postcard party HERE or HERE if you'd like some training.

Or send some free BYOP texts – get trained HERE, or if you're already trained, dive in HERE!

THURSDAY, APRIL 27 & ON:

TENNESSEE 3 + 4 = 7!

We didn't have Tennessee on our already large list of target states for the 2024 cycle, but we also didn't have fascist expulsion of duly elected Tennessee House Reps for the indecorous audacity to represent their constituents on our bingo card either.

The Tennessee Three inspired a nation, and us... so we've done a deep research dive and identified four swing state house districts in Tennessee. 2 are repped by Democrats: we can keep them there. The other 2 are repped by Republicans: we can flip them. We'll also be registering new Democrats in the districts of The Tennessee Three, to lean into the movement those House Reps are leading so passionately.
