Get ready for the first Frontline Update of 2024. Still just 30 minutes long, but at a new time: 10 am ET on Saturday, February 24th. This is your chance to get the inside scoop on how Swing Blue Alliance leaders view the political landscape, election priorities, and programs we’re creating to win big for the Democrats. Engage, discuss, and enjoy as we dive into the world of grassroots volunteering, backed by research and collaboration. Let’s come together, share ideas, and set the stage for having an impact this year! |

Suozzi Flips NY-03! (Yes We Can - Retake the House in 2024!) |
|
|
Tom Suozzi won the NY-3 special election to replace Republican George Santos by 8 points! Thanks to all who made this happen! |
|
Suozzi, a moderate Democrat who won by running on bipartisanship and getting things done in Washington, has provided a blueprint for how to win in battleground districts. When Republicans launched a barrage of ads on immigration, Suozzi effectively countered the ads by touting his record on trying to solve the immigration crisis and by emphasizing the Congressional Republicans' refusal to pass the compromise immigration bill. Democrats are now one step closer to flipping the House in November, only needing to flip four more seats. |
|
More good news: Democrats held a seat in the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives when Jim Prokopiak won a special election yesterday in southeastern PA. This ensures that the PA House will continue to be controlled by Democrats. |

Call NC Now, Build Power for Fall GOTV |
|
|
By getting on the phone NOW, we can meet our goal of recruiting 10,000 volunteers in Charlotte/Mecklenburg County, NC. Building a strong community of volunteers in advance is essential to getting out the vote in the fall. You can be part of this lively campaign by calling strong Democratic voters. There is lots of support and camaraderie in this weekly phone bank. |

Swing Blue Alliance Starts a Giving Circle to Flip State Legislatures |
|
|
Swing Blue Alliance takes your donations seriously. That's why we're starting a Giving Circle with The States Project in 2024. The States Project's research and analysis aligns with Swing Blue's key state focus in AZ, NC, NH and PA. They work directly with Democratic caucuses in those states to assist state legislative candidates. The States Project's effectiveness was recognized in the New York Times. Help us raise $2,000 this weekend, and donations will be matched. |

Join us again this Sunday at Activist Afternoons in Cambridge. Write postcards, make phone calls, learn about local issues, and just meet others who are committed to the values of democracy. |

Sunday, Feb 18 @ 4 - 6 pm EST (and every other Sunday) St. James Church, 1991 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge (Porter Square) |
