let's celebrate

The Activist Afternoons re-inauguration was a huge success. Here's a first-hand account of the event. 

 Bring out the activist in you by coming to tomorrow’s or any upcoming meetings, which are the first and third Sundays of every month!

Sunday, Feb 4 @ 4 - 6 pm EST

St. James Church, 1991 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge (Porter Square)

President Biden

We made a difference in the Biden write-in campaign for the NH primary! SBA volunteers spoke with 600 voters and sent 27,500 postcards. Kudos also goes to Aaron Jacobs, who helped run the grassroots campaign and has now been hired to run the Biden campaign in NH.

The Democratic turnout for last week's NH primary was larger than the primary turnout in 2020! Biden received 64% of the Democratic votes and more votes than Obama won in the 2012 NH primary. This was a great lesson in grassroots organizing.

Only Ten Days to Flip George Santos' Seat!

help Tom Suozzi win George Santos' district

Let’s elect Tom Suozzi in NY Congressional District 3. With your help, we can cut back the Republican hold on the US House and set the stage for a Democratic takeover in November.

The race is too close to call! The special election is on Tuesday, February 13, and early voting has already begun. 

After receiving a weekly recap of the phone banks, SBA volunteer Lori Ecker replied:

I love these updates after our phone bank. Most phone banks I attend don't send them, and it's so inspiring to see our impact, so a HUGE thank you for that. And I'll be "seeing" you all again soon. I so enjoy your group!

Wednesdays, 5-7 pm EST

Saturdays, 3-5 pm EST

What is the SBA Strategy for 2024?

frontline update save the date

Swing Blue volunteers helped give Democrats big wins in 2023. The stakes are high in 2024, but together we can build on the relationships we’ve established in crucial swing states. 

Join us for the kickoff presentation of Swing Blue’s 2024 strategy.

 

NEW DAY AND TIME

Sat, Feb 24 @ 10 - 10:30 am EST

Engage Local Volunteers in NC 

call Charlotte/Mecklenburg County Dems

Our goal is to recruit 10,000 volunteers in Charlotte/Mecklenburg County. 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.

Join us and expand the volunteer base, develop local campaigners, and test new strategies for the critical 2024 elections.

Sundays @ 6 - 8 pm EST

Grassroots Collaboration Project Launch with Simon Rosenberg

Grassroots Collaboration Project

SBA is participating in the launch of the Grassroots Collaboration Project's new resources that will help our pro-democracy groups shine in 2024. This group is building on the power of grassroots organizations with networking tools, a Grassroots Directory, and a (free) Substack to amplify the power of these volunteer-run groups.

If you lead a volunteer-run grassroots group, come learn how the Directory will facilitate coordination in battleground states. Keynote speaker Simon Rosenberg will give impetus to this vibrant community.
