Florida has been won and lost by razor-thin margins. Democratic turnout will be critical in deciding the winner of Florida’s 29 electoral votes, which could determine the outcome for the nation once again. FL voters who choose to vote by mail (VBM) participate at far higher rates than voters choosing to vote in person. Last week’s primary showed that many voters actually prefer to vote by mail.
When you host an event, you give your friends an opportunity to Follow up the postcards at a phone bank We check in with voters who have received VBM application, responding to their questions and encouraging them to send in their ballot requests. We’re starting up phone banks in Spanish and Haitian Creole. |

Voter Protection is vital to a Democratic win in November. Republicans are trying every trick in the voter suppression handbook. Our efforts to educate voters and protect ballot access until Election Day pave the road to victory, and you can help.
It’s actually fun to call committed Democrats who have previously volunteered with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. We’re recruiting them to do Voter Protection work. In our experience people are grateful, and thank you for calling. Every Wednesday @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm |

Swing Left Greater Boston has a two-pronged approach to flipping Wisconsin Blue up and down the ballot. One prong is to support Neal Plotkin, candidate for State Senate in SD-8, one of the most important swing districts in the state. The other is to make connections with Wisconsin Dems.
A win for Neal Plotkin in Wisconsin’s SD-8 is crucial to blocking a Republican supermajority in the state legislature. Plus, it sets the stage for dismantling the state’s gerrymandered districts. At the kickoff, we’ll hear directly from Neal about his campaign, and there will be plenty of time for Q&A. In the second half of the evening, we’ll dive right into calling Wisconsin voters. You’ll be glad to hear that all calls on behalf of Neal are part of the Wisconsin Dems coordinated campaign; they directly support Biden’s campaign for the Presidency.
Monday, August 31 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Every Sunday @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Upcoming WI phone banks offer two ways to support the Dems.
No experience necessary! All you need is a computer, a phone, and the internet. |

Get your artistic juices flowing because we have a humdinger of a campaign for you. We’ve already installed over 100 Y ’ART signs up for Claudette Williams in PA. Now, we’re moving south to Florida. Not just anywhere in Florida, though. We’re moving right into FL HD-88, where Donald and Melania Trump live and vote. This is your chance to tell the President directly who and what you support. Trump and his family will see the signs you create for Jim Bonfiglio, candidate for Florida HD-89. Jim — a passionate environmentalist, feminist, and ally to LGBTQ community — wants to place as many creative signs as we can deliver. On Sunday, September 6, we’re running a double whammy campaign. We’re writing postcards that will go into Trump’s mailbox and creating signs that will go up on his street. Look for dates and times next week!

StateWide Indivisible Michigan and Rust Belt Rising have identified unregistered, likely Dem Michiganders — mostly voters of color, younger voters, and female voters. The organizations have a great plan to get ’em registered to vote. The program has a proven track record, with 30% conversion rates in other states. This high-return, five-week initiative starts with a traceable mailing followed by a phone “chase.” Together, we’re making easy calls, following up on the voter registration applications people have received.
Every Saturday @ 11:00 am
Grab your favorite beverage, print 20 GOTV (get out the vote) letters for Michigan, and queue up one of our recommended documentaries and films set in Michigan. |
