OUR 2021-22 IMPACT REPORT IS HERE!

Cancel your appointments! Pop the champagne! Field Team 6 is thrilled to release a milestone document: our 2021-22 Impact Report. 


Here are the top lines from the Impact Report:

  • To date, we have now helped register 2.89M Democratic voters, the vast majority in swing states.
  • Our cost was a staggeringly low $.70 per Democratic voter this cycle.
  • In the ‘22 midterms, these voters were instrumental to swinging 22 House races across 11 states, as well as 5 Senate races (AZ, CO, GA, NV, PA).

If you’ve volunteered, if you’ve partnered with us, if you’ve donated, if you’ve helped out behind the scenes, or if you’ve done all of the above – thank you from the bottom of our hearts.


YOU DID THIS. And if you keep donating and volunteering, together we can keep winning key elections this year, and save the democracy decisively in 2024!


For an amazing example of what our partners make possible, check out the breathtaking New North Carolina results in the blurb below.


To keep these good results coming, go to Volunteer Ops and sign up for a new autodialer phone bank – defend abortion rights in Ohio before the August special election, call into CA-27 to get rid of insurrectionist Mike Garcia, or call into NY-03 to unseat the inventor of the flying submarine, George Santos! Set up a live voter drive at a Pride event – they are crazy fun and super effective. (Contact our Voter Drive Czar Jo Ann HERE!) We also have postcarding campaigns in the places that matter most. Not to mention text banks, text arcades, free BYOP texting, and social media storms. And if you can donate instead, or in addition, please do!


You are the Dream Team – let’s keep banishing nightmares, and turning dreams into reality!

BIG BREAKING NEWS

KICK-ASS PARTNER REPORT:

NEW NORTH CAROLINA PROJECT ROCKS 2022!

It’s gonna take everything we've got (and then some) to win back the House and keep the Senate and White House in 2024. That’s why we make every effort to work with incredible partner organizations like the New North Carolina Project (NNCP), which registers Democratic voters in that all-important battleground state.


In 2021-2022 the New North Carolina Project partnered with Field Team 6 to send out a whopping 464,941 texts to unregistered likely Democrats in North Carolina. What did it all add up to? The NNCP helped registered 95,623 new Democratic voters, and we now know 36,800 of ‘em voted in the 2022 midterms! Trump won the state by about 75,000 votes in 2020. So the NNCP is already halfway to erasing that deficit. Together, we can turn NC blue in 2024!


Stay tuned for more partner reports from what we did in the '22 cycle together, and let us know if your organization wants to buddy up HERE!

NEW VIDEO: WORLD PREMIERE

HOW TO REGISTER NEW WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS

West Virginia is a crucial swing state! We know what you're thinking – and so are we – but Senator Joe Manchin is up for re-election in '24 and he is essential to holding the Senate and restoring a Democratic trifecta that can bring about real change.


Plus it’s never too early to start building a progressive groundswell. Like elsewhere in the country, West Virginia has a ton of young/new voters starting to take note of Republican shenanigans. They can put Democrats into the local offices and judgeships that will keep future elections free, fair and safe. Also in 2024, two seats on the West Virginia Supreme Court are up for grabs… and we know how important those are! 


Watch the West Virginia Nitty Gritty training video HERE to learn how to lead a successful and partisan voter drive. Crack open the West Virginia Voter Drive in a Box for even more support. The Mountain State was once solidly Democratic. We can make it that way again!


And shout out to Jeff Sielaff who leads the FT6 Media Team! This completes his carton of one dozen Nitty Gritty Videos for all our '24 target states! Thank youuuuu, Jeff!

EVENTS

THURSDAY, MAY 25 & ON:

OHIO... COME ON DOWN!

Ohio 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, May 25 from 4-5p PT –– BYOP Texting. Sign up HERE and get trained in how to send free texts, using a Google Voice account or your phone plan! Or if you're already trained, dive in HERE!

THURSDAY, MAY 25 & 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.


Join the Postcard campaign HERE!

Join the BYOP campaign HERE! (Or get trained up on BYOP texting HERE!)

SATURDAY, MAY 27:

NO PHEAR PHONEBANKING!

Does this describe you?


  • You want to register Democrats and save the world...
  • You know phonebanking is one of the most effective ways to do that...
  • Something about it phreaks you out?

Well, we have the solution! Phone banker extraordinaire and inspirational activist Lynn Bommer's amazing mini-workshop is designed to take the mystery out of the process and help you overcome that phonebanking phear. We'll go so far as to say Lynn can actually teach you how to have phun registering Democrats by phone!


Lynn's next online session is Saturday, May 27 from 4-5p PT. Click HERE for more info and to RSVP. And then boldly go where plenty have gone before!

TUESDAY, MAY 30:

TEXT ARCADES ARE BACK!

We have what we like to call a high-class problem: our database has so many eligible voters who are likely Democrats that we don't have enough funds to text 'em all.


The solution? The Text Arcade! It’s a super-fast text bank where 100% of your ticket funds the text bank. Amazing donors are helping defray costs, so you only have to pay 25 buckeroos. Plus, we cap attendance to guarantee you’ll get to send 1400 texts.


Our latest Text Arcade target is Ohio. In the crucial November election, voters will have the chance to firmly cement abortion access as an amendment to the state constitution.


So sign up HERE for any or all of the below Arcades: 


OH: Tuesday May 30 @ 3p PT, Tuesday June 6 @ 3p PT

AZ: Tuesday June 13 3p PT

MT: Tuesday June 20 @ 3p PT

GA: Tuesday June 27 @ 3p PT

NY: Tuesday July 11 @ 3p PT


One more thing: since Ohio is a new target for us this cycle, we’re trying to raise cashola to buy more data on unregistered likely Dem voters, so please donate HERE to help us crush the GOP.

SUNDAY, JUNE 4:

SAVE DEMOCRACY WITH FRIENDS!

Are you vaxxed, maxxed (on your love of democracy) and ready to roll? Then Field Team 6 and Civic Sundays have just the thing for you: fun, in-person events to save our nation!


Civic Sundays LA is now meeting in person on Sunday mornings at private locations in the Silverlake/Los Feliz/Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles. There are always multiple ways you can get involved in supporting progressive candidates up and down the ballot, locally and nationwide. Phonebanking, textbanking, postcarding and digital letter writing will be among the offerings—and you get to do it in person with your new friends!


Next up is Sunday, June 4 from 10a-12p PT. Click HERE for more info and to RSVP.

SUNDAY, JUNE 4:

BOOK BANS ARE BIGLY BAD!

Across the country, right-wing organizations have launched a coordinated attack on... reading! Attempted book bans and restrictions at school and public libraries surged in 2022—setting an ignominious new record—as the GOP ramped up its culture wars.


Naturally, there's a clear bias towards banning books with non-white protagonists and books with LGBTQ+ themes. And books that teach actual history and make MAGAs ashamed. So what can we do? Plenty!



We're co-hosting a webinar with FT6 partner DVC, and you can tune in Sunday, June 4 at 1p PT to hear from the leadership of the Florida Freedom to Read Project. You'll learn about the attacks on books in their state and how you can help fight back from anywhere. Don't sit still while the lunatic fringe bans books, defunds libraries, and assaults children's (and everyone's!) freedom to read. Push back. Hard! Click HERE for more info and to RSVP.

SUNDAY, JUNE 4:

NEW CA-27 PHONEBANK!

California has so many swing districts that flipping just some could allow us to take back the House in '24!


One of those districts is California's 27th, the only remaining Republican district in LA County. It's represented by traitorous MAGA-bot Mike Garcia, who campaigned as a moderate, then promptly joined the Insurrection Caucus in voting to overturn Biden's victory. Let's retire him.


Join Field Team 6 for the first installment of this new weekly phone bank on Sunday, June 4 from 2:30-4:30p PT and call unregistered likely Democrats to get them registered.


In 2024, we can take back this seat! All training is provided. RSVP HERE.

SUNDAY, JUNE 25, 7P-12P

GET YOUR BOOGIE ON AND PARTY LIKE IT'S 11/7/2020!

Remember when Joe and Kamala won? Well, we are cranking up the way-back-machine so we can all party like we wanted to that day: together, in person! If you're in Los Angeles or able to get here, come sing, dance, and party the night away with all your favorite activists while raising money to save our democracy! It's a night of live bands, dancing, and karaoke, where someone is sure to grab the mic and sing Jason Berlin’s “Protasiewicz!” The party is at Molly Malone's on 6/25/23 and doors open at 7p so click HERE to grab your ticket, and we’ll save the last dance for YOU!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

DEMOCRACY IS GREAT!

CAN YOU ADOPT-A-STATE?

To date, Field Team 6 volunteers and donors have helped register 2,888,049 new Democratic and progressive independent voters – so what are we gonna do now?


We’re gonna help register 3,000,000 more Democratic voters by the '24 election. We can restore the Democratic trifecta that will pass game-changing voting rights, codify abortion rights, and beat back fascism once and for all.


In '22, Angel Treinen and Onward Toward Progress adopted Nevada and raised $55k for Field Team 6. That allowed us to conduct the most comprehensive outreach we've ever done. And it succeeded wildly, winning 3 swing House seats and 1 swing Senate seat, among other historic results.


We want to duplicate this success everywhere. That's why we've done the numbers crunching to tell you, your friends/family, or your organization, how much we need to raise for each of our 12 target states in '24. Adopt the one you love the most!


Click HERE for more information about each state and our goals, and thank you. None of what we do happens without you.  

SEND IN THE STARS! THANKS
