Labor Day is the starter pistol for the final phase of the election. Now everyone in America starts to pay attention. Now our efforts mean the most. Now... we sprint.
We're texting at a sprint. Last weekend we held our first three Text Arcades – and all three SOLD OUT.
Which contributed to this incredible milestone: we've now sent 1.3 MILLION TEXTS!! Thank you to our passionate volunteers – these are the first swells of the Blue Wave!!
To keep building this wave into a mighty tsunami, we are expanding our text opportunities to reach even more purged voters and public college students in our 12 target states. Sign up below for our free text banks and Text Arcades this weekend, followed by our first-ever weekday Text Arcades this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday!
We're phone banking at a sprint. Phone banks are how we canvass now! Our phone bank capacity is expanding in all of our key states, adding to our registration totals. And we have many millions to reach, so we’re not going to run out anytime soon! Sign up for those below!
In all our efforts, we use our brand-new voter registration app Voterizer, which is now available in Spanish in 8 states, and more states every day!
This election is going to be a white-knuckle photo finish. A race between our organizing and their cheating. We’re betting everything we’ve got on us. 54 days left - time to sprint!
––––––––––
For anyone who missed the unveiling of our Text Arcades last week:
Here’s the problem. Texting is super fun, deadly effective… and expensive. That’s why in the past few years, volunteer demand for texting has *far* outstripped supply. We now have the solution: the Text Arcade. At the Text Arcade, you can buy a virtual Token for ten dollars, which unlocks 500 eligible voters you can then text! You choose the specifics, so you might text Purged Voters from Iowa one time and Public College Students from Michigan the next. And if you want 500 more contacts, it’s just another ten dollars. Texting parties are also available!
To be clear, we will still offer every single free text bank we can afford to. But that will only get us about halfway through our lists of purged voters and public college students. Text Arcades could take us the rest of the way. And we offer them for as little as possible, because the goal is to register every single Democrat we can!

MUSIC VIDEO: "I RISE"
This inspiring video honors the spirit of democracy and the value of each individual voice.
Adapted from a traditional gospel blues song with a unifying melody sung by Vicci Martinez (The Voice, Orange Is the New Black) each artist who appears wrote their own line of poetry and filmed themselves speaking or singing it.
A powerful combination of music and imagery... and a reminder to please rise and raise your voice on Election Day.

WHO'S ON THE PHONE?
We've got big plans to expand our phone bank universe too, like looking into a predictive dialer to streamline the phone bank process and increase our calling output by 150%. Once this goes live, our volunteers will no longer have to use their own numbers nor dial each number by hand. We hope to roll out this new feature by the end of next week!
