WORLDS SAVED: 1
CONFIRMED DEMOCRATIC VOTERS WE HELPED REGISTER BY NOVEMBER 2020: 784,875
CONFIRMED DEMOCRATIC VOTERS WE HELPED REGISTER BY NOVEMBER 2021: 1,570,600
TOTAL VOTER TOUCHES TO DATE: 30,755,58
DAYS UNTIL 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION: 54
| |
|
In case you need a big energy boost, here’s a verbal espresso triple shot:
It’s 54 days until the midterms, but voter registration deadlines fall far sooner in the swing states that decide whether we win or lose the midterms.
In Pennsylvania and California, we have 39 days to register new Democrats.
Wisconsin? 34 days.
North Carolina? 29 days.
And in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, and Texas, we have only 26 days left!
The good news is that between now and the election, every hour you volunteer and every dollar you donate are worth ten times what they normally are.
That’s because voters registered this close to an election have a greater chance of voting – because so many more people are waking up and paying attention now – and because with so many races coming down to the wire, the Democrats you personally help register today could win an election.
The other good news is that Field Team 6 has SO many great ways to help! (Sign up for them HERE.)
-
Send postcards to pro-marijuana allies shared by our partner Ground Game Texas, and easily register 5,000 more Democrats!
- Join our 8 upcoming superfast textbanks to 100,000 eligible voters in each swing state!
- Make phone calls to likely Democratic women with an abortion rights message!
- Come to a Social Storm and learn how we generate 70 million impressions a week just on Twitter!
- Hold an in-person voter drive with a friend or 10!
-
Or donate to expand our reach – every $1.50 helps us register a Democrat!
Your work wins elections. How will you pitch in today?

PUT IT ALL ON BLUE!
Field Team 6 is sending a huge thank you to our partner Onward Toward Progress! So far they’ve raised over $28,000 – over half their goal of $40,000 – to register new Democrats in Nevada!
Nevada is a hugely overlooked battleground state, but it’s one we must hold in the November midterms if we want to save our democracy. Thanks to the funds OTP has already raised, we now have access to new data on 165,000 likely Democrats, and we’re running two textbanks to register them to vote.
Next steps? As more funds come in, we can reach out to the same people via email, physical mail, targeted social media ad campaigns, and ringless voice mails. With OTP’s continued help, we can hit our big, hairy, audacious goal of registering 25,000 likely Democrats by November 8th – enough to swing the midterms in favor of Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, and the Dems in three swing house races: Dina Titus, Susie Lee, and Steven Horsford.
Watch Jason's message of thanks to OTP HERE! Feel free to chip in HERE!
So thank you again, OTP! Together we’ll keep Nevada blue!

DELICIOUS DEADLINES PLAN: HOW WE PIVOT AS EACH STATE REGISTRATION DATE PASSES
One question on everyone's mind: in October, as voter registration deadlines pass in our 9 swing states, how will Field Team 6 pivot?
Here's the answer! As each voter registration deadline passes in our target states, we will focus volunteers into voter registration efforts in the swing states with later deadlines. That's because while countless organizations, campaigns, and the Party are focused on GOTV, we are one of the very few organizations whose sole mission is partisan voter registration – so it's crucial we do our part all the way up to, and including, Election Day. And we will be going all the way through close of polls on Election Day, since NV, WI and CA all have same-day voter registration!
To be clear, Field Team 6 sends out GOTV emails to everyone who signs up for election reminders through Voterizer.org (our bespoke partisan voter registration portal), and we love teaming up with on-the-ground GOTV-focused orgs in each of our target states. But we focus most on our unique and indispensable contribution: registering new Democrats! If you know a GOTV org, intro us HERE.
Click HERE to share social media assets with our swing state deadlines. Find them under the "Register" category of our Current Storm.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19:
GOOGLE DRIVE TRAINING
If you're an activist, you're probably using Google Drive. Now there's a training that answers the question: What if you knew what you were doing?
On Monday, September 19 from 1-2p PT, learn from an expert trainer through our partner The Union.
This session will show you how to navigate Google Drive as well as upload, create, share and organize files. Sign up HERE!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 & ON: UNLEASH THE TEXTS!
"A text 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 are cooking up a powerful batch of text banks to unleash between now and the midterms. Have a taste! (All times local. Training provided. Click links to RSVP.)
Pennsylvania Texting — Tuesday, September 20 from 1-3p ET
Wisconsin Texting — Thursday, September 22 from 5-7p CT
Arizona Texting — Tuesday, September 27 from 10a-12p MT (with Tucson Indivisible Action Alliance)
Each of these is a superfast textbank using the Spoke Rewired platform! You'll generally be reaching out to eligible female voters with a pro-abortion rights message, and believe us... these likely Democrats will want to hear from you!
And, if you are or know an organization on the ground in any of our swing states, please intro them to Partnerships@FieldTeam6.org. We'd love to partner on these!

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20:
TEXT ARCADES ARE FUN!
Problem: We have more eligible voters who are likely Democrats in our database than we have the cash to text.
Solution: the Text Arcade! ...a superfast text bank that costs $25 a ticket, where 100% of your ticket funds this text bank. We cap attendance to make sure everyone has 1400 texts to send!
And now we're going all in with Text Arcade Tuesdays. Every Tuesday until October 18 we're hosting Text Arcades to likely Democrats in swing states that make the difference.
Here are the next ones:
Pennsylvania Arcade — Tuesday, September 20 at 3p PT / 6p ET
Texas Arcade — Tuesday, September 27 at 3p PT / 6p ET
Nevada Arcade — Tuesday, October 4 at 3p PT / 6p ET
Sign up HERE for any or all of the above Arcades. And Happy Texting!
