DESCRIPTION:During this 1.5-hour virtual training\, you’ll learn everything you need to start a Swing Left group on your campus\, including essential organizing skills and concrete next steps.
\nAs young people\, we want to create a better future where we all have access to good paying jobs\, quality health care\, the power to make our own decisions about our bodies\, clean air & water\, safety from gun violence in our classrooms & throughout our daily lives\, and more.
\nBut Republican lawmakers are preventing this future from becoming a reality. They are attacking the most vulnerable\, enriching the wealthy\, and undermining our democracy by rigging the system to subvert the will of the people and uphold minority rule.
\nWe can defeat Republican extremism at the ballot box in 2024 and beyond by focusing on electing Democrats in the most competitive races\, where the time we spend writing letters\, making phone calls\, and knocking on doors with Democratic campaigns could literally decide the outcome of an election and who holds power in our government. You can get involved by starting a Swing Left group on your campus—the best way to multiply your impact and give other students the opportunity to make a difference on the issues that matter to them. Plus\, taking action together is always more energizing\, fun\, and powerful than taking action alone!
\nSign up today\, and we’ll send you the Zoom link to join. See you there!

But until they are registered\, young people can’t turn out and use their voices at the ballot box. Help strengthen our democracy by ensuring Pennsylvania’s youngest voters have their say in 2024 and beyond.
\nDespite the trope about youth apathy\, the fact is that barriers to registration are the #1 obstacle to youth voter turnout. Based on US Census data\, in every presidential election going back to 2004\, some 75% of young people who are registered to vote do turn out to vote. But approximately 4 million Americans turn 18 each year\, and as of the 2022 midterms\, only about 30% of them were registered to vote. The rate is likely lower today.
\nWe will be mailing to adults with 16- 18-year-olds in their households\, and asking them to help get the eligible teens registered to vote.
\nThis project is partnering with The Civics Center: a trusted national leader in registering young voters.
\nVoter Engagement Network materials are meant to be easy to process: they only require a short\, handwritten message in a letter\, inserting a scorecard\, and stamping and addressing an envelope. A packet of 25 letters costs $23.50 (Venmo or check due by pickup time)\, including tax and postage.

But until they are registered\, young people can’t turn out and use their voices at the ballot box. Help strengthen our democracy by ensuring Pennsylvania’s youngest voters have their say in 2024 and beyond.
\nDespite the trope about youth apathy\, the fact is that barriers to registration are the #1 obstacle to youth voter turnout. In every presidential election going back to 2004\, some 75% of young people who are registered to vote do turn out to vote. But approximately 4 million Americans turn 18 each year\, and it’s estimated that fewer than 30% of them are registered to vote.
\nSome 11% of eligible voters who are not registered do not appear on any voting list and are thus ignored in efforts to get-out-the-vote. We will be mailing registered adults in these areas that have young adults in their households\, asking the registered adults to help get the eligible young adults in their household registered to vote.
\nThis project is partnering with The Civics Center: a trusted national leader in registering young voters.
\nVoter Engagement Network materials are meant to be easy for volunteers to process: they only require a short\, handwritten message in a letter\, inserting a scorecard\, and stamping and addressing an envelope.

In every presidential election going back to 2004\, some 75% of young people who are registered to vote do turn out to vote. But approximately 4 million Americans turn 18 each year\, and it’s estimated that fewer than 30% of them are registered to vote.
\nSome 11% of eligible voters who are not registered do not appear on any voting list and are thus ignored in efforts to get-out-the-vote. We will be mailing registered adults in these areas that have young adults in their households\, asking the registered adults to help get the eligible young adults in their household registered to vote.
\nThis project is partnering with The Civics Center: a trusted national leader in registering young voters.
\nVoter Engagement Network materials are meant to be easy for volunteers to process: they only require a short\, handwritten message in a letter\, inserting a scorecard\, and stamping and addressing an envelope.

DESCRIPTION:Despite recent laws that make it easier to vote in Virginia\, voting in every election can be a challenge: in Virginia\, major elections are held every year\, instead of every other year\, as in most states. \nVirginia CD-02 is a hotly-contested Congressional District held by Democrat Elaine Luria for two terms before she was unseated in 2022 by Republican Jen Kiggans.
\nThe votes of BIPOC/community of color voters will be critical to protecting democracy in the 2024 elections. \nPrimary voting promotes consistent voting habits\, and greatly increases the likelihood of voting in the fall. \nWe are writing to alert 51\,000 registered community of color voters in VA Congressional District 2 to vote in the June 18 primary. \nOur postcards inform voters of where and when to vote\, and of the key issues at stake (voting rights\, reproductive rights\, Medicare and Social Security.)
\nOur partner is the Center for Common Ground – a non-partisan\, Black and women-led voting rights organization founded in 2018. \nThe Center for Common Ground has been active in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District (the Virginia Beach area) for many years. \nCfCG works in states where more than 20% of voters are people of color – Alabama\, Arizona\, Florida\, Georgia\, Virginia\, North Carolina\, South Carolina and Texas. \nIts goal is to ensure every voter knows their voice and their votes matter.
\nMaterials in Packet: \n • 25 postcards \n • 25 Postcard Rate Forever Stamps\n • 1 sheet with 25 voter address labels (some addresses may be out-of-state) \n • 1 sheet with 25 labels with voting information \n • Volunteer Instruction Sheet\n • Cost per Packet\, $18 \n ◦ Printer Cost per Packet: $4.00\n ◦ Cost per Stamp: $0.53
\nMailing Requirements for this Campaign: \n - Mail postcards between April 26 and June 3. \n - Mail them from whatever location is convenient.
\nPayments may be by: \n • check; \n • PayPal; \n • Venmo; or \n • cash. \n(Details on each will be provided in a Sign-Up confirmation email.)

DESCRIPTION:Despite recent laws that make it easier to vote in Virginia\, voting in every election can be a challenge: in Virginia\, major elections are held every year\, instead of every other year\, as in most states. \nVirginia CD-02 is a hotly-contested Congressional District held by Democrat Elaine Luria for two terms before she was unseated in 2022 by Republican Jen Kiggans.
\nThe votes of BIPOC/community of color voters will be critical to protecting democracy in the 2024 elections. \nPrimary voting promotes consistent voting habits\, and greatly increases the likelihood of voting in the fall. \nWe are writing to alert 51\,000 registered community of color voters in VA Congressional District 2 to vote in the June 18 primary. \nOur postcards inform voters of where and when to vote\, and of the key issues at stake (voting rights\, reproductive rights\, Medicare and Social Security.)
\nOur partner is the Center for Common Ground – a non-partisan\, Black and women-led voting rights organization founded in 2018. \nThe Center for Common Ground has been active in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District (the Virginia Beach area) for many years. \nCfCG works in states where more than 20% of voters are people of color – Alabama\, Arizona\, Florida\, Georgia\, Virginia\, North Carolina\, South Carolina and Texas. \nIts goal is to ensure every voter knows their voice and their votes matter.
\nMaterials in Packet: \n • 25 postcards \n • 25 Postcard Rate Forever Stamps\n • 1 sheet with 25 voter address labels (some addresses may be out-of-state) \n • 1 sheet with 25 labels with voting information \n • Volunteer Instruction Sheet\n • Cost per Packet\, $18 \n ◦ Printer Cost per Packet: $4.00\n ◦ Cost per Stamp: $0.53
\nMailing Requirements for this Campaign: \n - Mail postcards between April 26 and June 3. \n - Mail them from whatever location is convenient.
\nPayments may be by: \n • check; \n • PayPal; \n • Venmo; or \n • cash. \n(Details on each will be provided in a Sign-Up confirmation email.)

\nField Team 6 calls this BYOP or Bring Your Own Phone\, although it actually uses your own computer with an anonymized Google Voice number or Apple’s iMessage app. And it's a great way to register new Democrats!
\nThere are a few things you'll need to set up on your computer but they aren't difficult. We strongly suggest that you attend the FT6 BYOP Boot Camp session which is given every Thursday from 6-7:30 PM EDT. You can sign up HERE. If you're tech savvy and want to do the set up on your own\, \nthis User Guide provides all the information.
\nThe prerequisites you will need to attend the class are explained in the confirmation email that you will receive. None of them are difficult and we can help if you need it.
\nOnce trained\, you'll be able to send texts any time between 9 am – 9 pm in the Time Zone you're texting. We will start in Pennsylvania and potentially move onto other swing states in the future.
\nSince this is the first time we are giving these events\, we are limiting the enrollment to 20 people until we are sure we have worked out all the bugs. So if you sign up\, please do your best to be there or let us know if something comes up and you can't make it. If everything goes well\, then we will open this up and the more the merrier.
\nWe use Field Team 6 Slack to communicate with our BYOP-ers. If you already have a login to the Field Team 6 Slack channel\, great! If not\, we'll give you the sign-up link during the BYOP Boot Camp. (once signed up\, look for the #byop-bring_your_own_phone channel.)

DESCRIPTION:Despite recent laws that make it easier to vote in Virginia\, voting in every election can be a challenge: in Virginia\, major elections are held every year\, instead of every other year\, as in most states. \nVirginia CD-02 is a hotly-contested Congressional District held by Democrat Elaine Luria for two terms before she was unseated in 2022 by Republican Jen Kiggans.
\nThe votes of BIPOC/community of color voters will be critical to protecting democracy in the 2024 elections. \nPrimary voting promotes consistent voting habits\, and greatly increases the likelihood of voting in the fall. \nWe are writing to alert 51\,000 registered community of color voters in VA Congressional District 2 to vote in the June 18 primary. \nOur postcards inform voters of where and when to vote\, and of the key issues at stake (voting rights\, reproductive rights\, Medicare and Social Security.)
\nOur partner is the Center for Common Ground – a non-partisan\, Black and women-led voting rights organization founded in 2018. \nThe Center for Common Ground has been active in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District (the Virginia Beach area) for many years. \nCfCG works in states where more than 20% of voters are people of color – Alabama\, Arizona\, Florida\, Georgia\, Virginia\, North Carolina\, South Carolina and Texas. \nIts goal is to ensure every voter knows their voice and their votes matter.
\nMaterials in Packet: \n • 25 postcards \n • 25 Postcard Rate Forever Stamps\n • 1 sheet with 25 voter address labels (some addresses may be out-of-state) \n • 1 sheet with 25 labels with voting information \n • Volunteer Instruction Sheet\n • Cost per Packet\, $18 \n ◦ Printer Cost per Packet: $4.00\n ◦ Cost per Stamp: $0.53
\nMailing Requirements for this Campaign: \n - Mail postcards between April 26 and June 3. \n - Mail them from whatever location is convenient.
\nPayments may be by: \n • check; \n • PayPal; \n • Venmo; or \n • cash. \n(Details on each will be provided in a Sign-Up confirmation email.)

So if you sign up\, please do your best to be there or let us know if something comes up and you can't make it. If everything goes well\, then we will open this up and the more the merrier.
\nWe use Field Team 6 Slack to communicate with our BYOP-ers. If you already have a login to the Field Team 6 Slack channel\, great! If not\, we'll give you the sign-up link during the BYOP Boot Camp. (once signed up\, look for the #byop-bring_your_own_phone channel.)

DESCRIPTION:During this 1.5-hour virtual training\, you’ll learn everything you need to start a Swing Left group on your campus\, including essential organizing skills and concrete next steps.
\nAs young people\, we want to create a better future where we all have access to good paying jobs\, quality health care\, the power to make our own decisions about our bodies\, clean air & water\, safety from gun violence in our classrooms & throughout our daily lives\, and more.
\nBut Republican lawmakers are preventing this future from becoming a reality. They are attacking the most vulnerable\, enriching the wealthy\, and undermining our democracy by rigging the system to subvert the will of the people and uphold minority rule.
\nWe can defeat Republican extremism at the ballot box in 2024 and beyond by focusing on electing Democrats in the most competitive races\, where the time we spend writing letters\, making phone calls\, and knocking on doors with Democratic campaigns could literally decide the outcome of an election and who holds power in our government. You can get involved by starting a Swing Left group on your campus—the best way to multiply your impact and give other students the opportunity to make a difference on the issues that matter to them. Plus\, taking action together is always more energizing\, fun\, and powerful than taking action alone!
\nSign up today\, and we’ll send you the Zoom link to join. See you there!

Mecklenburg has more registered Democrats than any other county in NC\, but they turn out to vote at lower rates.

Last year\, AINC made 10\,000 such calls and was the single largest recruitment effort to rebuild the Mecklenburg Co. Democratic Party! These calls are so productive that we are joining the effort.
\nThe calls are easy. We are calling strong Democrats\, using a dialer that doesn't show your phone number. We offer a training at the beginning of every phone bank and support volunteers for the whole time you are making calls.

\nBetween now and the 2024 elections\, we'll be writing to voters in key swing states/districts with messages about must-win candidates\, progressive issues\, and Democrats' accomplishments\, and urging unregistered likely-Dems to register and registered Dems to vote! To guarantee wins in Nov. 2024\, we need to start registering voters in key districts now.
\nThis is a great way to help get out the vote\, preserve our democracy and enjoy good conversation with like-minded activists. :)
