Republicans have a convicted felon for their candidate.
We have volunteers with conviction.
With just five months until the election, NOW is the time to act on your convictions. Together, we are creating the world in which democracy wins on November 5.
Register Voters
Voting is step #1 in fighting for our convictions. Registering Democratic-leaning voters may be the most important thing we can do to win in November. That's why Swing Blue Alliance is working on multiple fronts.
🎬 Swing Blue Alliance volunteers have made an inspiring video, which you can use to motivate others to get involved. Click on the picture above to watch the video, and send the link to friends, family and your network of potential volunteers with conviction!
The more volunteers we have, the more voters we can register. Let us know if you'd like to go register voters in PA or AZ or NY, or if you're willing to help with planning and organization.
This summer, Swing Blue Alliance is setting up shop in Philadelphia. From July 1st on, Swing Blue will offer housing, training and voter contact to volunteers who want to go beyond the usual texts and phone calls in order to save democracy. We call it the “Summer of (Brotherly) Love.”
Can you join us? Our local partners will identify the best places to contact and register voters. Deep Canvassing experts at CTC for Progresswill train you to have meaningful conversations with people who feel disengaged from the political process, and you'll learn to help voters make the connection between voting and protecting the people they love.
Let us know if you're interested, and join Swing Blue leaders Sue Donaldson, Rob Robertson and Susan Labandibar in Philadelphia on June 23d to learn deep canvassing with the best.
New York's 17th Congressional District is currently represented by a Republican. We can help Democrat Mondaire Jones in his bid to flip the seat. Jones has been endorsed by both the Democrats and the progressive Working Families Party. Help us call voters to defeat a Republican masquerading as a Working Families Party candidate in the June 25th primary. The progressive voters we call will be grateful for the information!
North Carolina needs volunteers. Call strong Democrats in the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area to engage them now in organizing for the win in November. Last year, we made 10,000 such calls and were the single largest recruitment effort to rebuild the Mecklenburg Co. Democratic Party.
The Sunday phone banks are focused on building an army of on-the-ground volunteers in Mecklenburg County. The Wednesday phone banks are also informing voters about Safiyah Jackson, Democratic candidate for NC state House District 37, who is in a good position to flip this seat to Blue.
Arizona: Call voters in Arizona with our partner Silver Spring Progressive Action. You'll contact Democrats in Maricopa County AZ who have not yet signed up to get an absentee ballot. Voters appreciate these extremely useful information calls!
Are you a phone-banker with conviction who's interested in taking the next step? Swing Blue is offering training to those who want to learn how to host a phone bank. The more hosts we have, the more calls we can make! If you're interested, contact stevevogel144@gmail.com.
Our Most Important
Letter-Writing Campaign
In collaboration with Working America, Swing Blue is launching our most persuasive writing campaign yet: 700,000 letters to Working America members, as part of their 2024 voter persuasion campaign in Pennsylvania.
Changing a single vote has twice the electoral impact of turning out a voter.
Working America’s trials between 2020 and 2022 demonstrated a 1.7 percent increase in Democratic vote choice.
Postcard hosts are ordering letters now. If you aren't already on the mailing list of a postcard host, you can find out about distribution locations and times by checking the Swing Blue calendar. (Keep checking - locations will be added as hosts get their orders.)
Are you a postcard writer with conviction who's ready to take the next step? Volunteer to be a postcard host! The more hosts we have, the more cards and letters we can distribute to volunteers. Let us know if you're interested and we'll contact you with personalized training and support.
In case you missed it, here's a link to watch the June 1 Frontline Update, which was packed with information about how to get involved. Feel free to share the link with friends. The Frontline Updates are a great way to cut through the noise and find actions that fit your convictions. Join us at the next one, on June 29.
Do you want to show your proud support for Democrats up and down the ballot? Show your conviction with this new "Dems make life BETTER" T-shirt! The back features a list of ways Dems have made life better. It's a great conversation starter.
