Right now, we can do in-person voter drives in parts of every single one of our battleground states: AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX and WI. (Consult our Covid-safe protocols HERE.) But with the Delta variant on the rise, we can’t be sure how long this will last.
So if you haven't yet, pick a state or district – OWN it – and commit to doing everything you can to make sure Democrats win. Then check out our Voter Drive in a Box, which gives you all you need to do a voter drive there with confidence! And if you're in Southern California, join the unstoppable Diane Offner at one of her upcoming CA-39 voter drives!
We need to fill our butterfly nets with Democrats every time conditions allow. Also, registering voters gets easier with practice. At your second voter drive, you'll be far better than your first. And by the time schools open in mid-August, you will be perfectly poised to take advantage of the best time of year to register new Democrats!
Along with in-person voter drives, our superhero organizers continue to offer a full menu of options for registering Democrats: phone banking, postcarding, social storming, and sometimes texting. So pick your favorite way to save the world, and let’s make every day count!

NOW PARTNERING WITH SAFA! |
|
Field Team 6 is thrilled to be partnering with the powerhouse South Asians for America, a national grassroots organization dedicated to the education, advocacy, engagement, and mobilization of the South Asian Democratic community in the United States at the local, state, and federal levels, by increasing the civic engagement, political participation, and network of South Asians.
They’ve already set up their own version of Voterizer.org, and will be registering Democrats with us via in-person drives – phone banking – text banking – and postcarding. They also offer the ability to translate all voter registration materials into South Asian languages! This, along with their customizing of our scripts and messaging to the South Asian community, will be an incredible boost to our common efforts.
LET'S GO!

DEADLINE FOR DEMOCRACY MEDIA STORM
Congress needs to know about the overwhelming grassroots support for voting rights legislation – and this Saturday, July 10 from 10a-12p PT, we'll be taking to the interwebs to tell them. We'll be demanding action from our senators – Republicans and Democrats – with ready-made Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram assets proclaiming the urgency of passing the For The People Act. Stormers of all levels are welcome – we'll start with a short training for any newbies on the call. It's the most fun you can have while defending democracy! RSVP HERE!

BROOKLYN COMEDY FOR FT6!
We're laughing already!
The producers of Looking Forward To It with Josh Gondelman, a monthly comedy show that raises money for voter engagement, are holding their first in-person 2021 comedy show to raise money for Field Team 6!
Hosted by Josh Gondelman, with the following (subject to change) line up: Jes Tom, Negin Farsad, Larry Owens, a video from Dan Fox, and hip hop comedy improv from North Coast.
If you are anywhere on the eastern seaboard (or have lots of airline miles) we hope you'll put together a carpool or subway car of the fellow-vaxxed and head to the Littlefield Theater in Brooklyn. Sliding scale tickets available HERE!

VOLUNTEER SHOUT-OUT: ADAM LESH |
|
This week we're spotlighting the one and only Adam Lesh – aka the mad genius behind Voterizer.org, the fastest way to register a Democrat! Adam is an emerging technology subject matter expert, specializing in blockchain, digital transformation, software development and digital content. He's spent his career on the cutting edge of technology, from his time at Warner Bros. pioneering DVD mastering to starting and running a boutique post-production facility for 11 years to developing a blockchain rights, royalties and revenue management system.
After a couple of years spent shouting at his TV, Adam decided he needed to help send Donald Trump packing by turning his technological expertise into action. We're so thankful that he ended up connecting with Field Team 6 and creating the voter registration juggernaut known as Voterizer – the brandable, embeddable web app, custom-built to register Democrats! When Adam isn't busy dreaming up genius apps, he enjoys hiking, sunsets, his dogs and helping defeat Republican efforts to destroy our country.
Thank you Adam for your tireless dedication to democracy, Voterizer and FT6. Your help fuels everything we do!

147 Republicans voted to overturn an American election. We’ve found 3 million unregistered Democrats in their districts. Let’s register every single one we can – and make sure these traitors lose their seats in a landslide.
It's been a while since we've posted an update on our Adopt-a-Traitor campaigns... but rest assured that we are hard at work standing up the full complement of our voter registration efforts in our target districts! We've already got a ton of ways that you can get involved:
But even though we're making progress, we're still a bit short on our fundraising goals in the districts of two traitor targets: Richard Hudson of North Carolina and Carlos Gimenez of Florida. Can you chip in and help us unleash the full force of our digital organizing on every single unregistered likely Democrat in their districts? And remember – by adopting Richard or Carlos, you're helping defeat bonus traitors too! In 2022, every single Democrat we register in North Carolina will help us take the Senate seat Richard Burr is leaving open. And every Dem in Florida will help us beat Governor Ron DeSantis as well as Senator Marco Rubio!
Not sure who to choose? Check out the adoption videos below!

Traitor Richard Hudson (NC-08)
Goal: $7,548; Progress: $3,390
|

Traitor Carlos Gimenez (FL-26)
Goal: $5,106; Progress: $3,276

We're looking for people with a little time and almost any skill to share. Heck, it might be something we don't even know we need! Find our current needs we know about HERE.

TRUST THE VOTE
Rebuilding faith in America’s voting systems is a crucial project, one that the nonprofit Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute is tackling head-on with their new TrustTheVote Project. Their plan is to build the most verifiable, accurate, secure, and transparent voting software in the world, with the entire code base available online for anyone who wants to look under the hood.
OSET is trying to make this happen in time for the 2024 elections – and they need your help! If you believe that publicly owned and fully transparent election software is important for restoring trust in our democracy, please sign their petition HERE.

VACCINATION & REGISTRATION:
SAVE THE WORLD TWICE!
What better way to share that you're vaccinated than with a t-shirt that celebrates your status and saves the world in one fell swoop? On the front: “I’M VACCINATED. CAN I REGISTER YOU AS A DEMOCRAT?" On the back: a handy QR code that sends new voters to Voterizer.org for instant registration. You spin around, they snap away with their smartphone, and VOILA – a Democrat is born. Fast, fun and stylish! CLICK HERE to start shopping!
