8 WEEKS TO GOA New Video and Phone Banking Pledge
|
| At an eight-weeks-to-go kickoff event on Wednesday, Swing Left Greater Boston launched the best phone banking video and phone banking pledge of the year.
When you listen to dedicated callers speaking from their hearts, you’ll be inspired to help us reach the 800,000 voters we need to win back the White House. “If I told you that two hours of your time a week would ensure that Trump is gone and Biden is in the White House, would you give me that two hours?” |
SUPER STATE: MAINE
|
| Let’s virtually cheer on Maine U.S. Senate candidate Sara Gideon as she takes on Susan “He’s Learned His Lesson” Collins and her two other opponents. Added value: you can join the live-chat post-debate discussion with University of Maine Political Science Dept. Chair and Bangor News columnist Amy Fried, as well as Co-Lead of Suit Up Maine Kelli Whitlock Burton.
Friday, September 11 @ 7:00 pm – 10 pm The debate is a fun way to improve our understanding issues that resonate for Mainers. It will make us all better and more knowledgeable activists. Hope to see you there! |
SUPER STATE: MAINE BONUS
|
| Come to the debate just one half hour early, and you’ll learn about an exciting project with the New Mainers Alliance. This group is working to make sure the voices of Somali and other African immigrants are heard and counted in this election. People newly arrived to Maine could be decisive in tipping the race in Maine.New Mainers Alliance is an immigrant-led organization focused on voter education, registration, and empowerment. Their goal is to register new voters and ensure that all registered voters have the option to obtain an absentee ballot and vote — as early as possible. The team will conduct outreach in Somali and other languages However, there can be no team unless the organization can raise $10,000 to employ 10 part-time community organizers to work from now until Election Day. Learn how you can help with this Get-Out-the-Vote effort in a community disproportionately hard hit by COVID-19 and structural racism. 
Friday, September 11 @ 6:30 pm – 7:00 pm In just half an hour, you can learn about New Mainers Alliance from community leaders Dr. Abdifatah Ahmed, Mutaz Abdelrahim, Fowsia Musse, and Mohamed Ibrahim. They will discuss their work and answer questions. Learn more about the project and make a donation |
EMPOWERMENTTurn Anxiety into Your Superpower
|
| You’re not the only one lying awake in a panic. This election is exhausting and scary. It’s exhausting and scary because Republicans want us to give up.
Republicans want to trigger our worst-case-scenario brains. Don’t let them. Fight back. Harness that anxiety and put it to work to beat the opposition. Breathe, meditate, eat well, exercise. Then pick up you pen or phone and get back to work. |

| Michigan’s 8 Million Voter Project is following up on a VBM mailing with a phone “chase.” Last week, we made 13,000 calls and actually spoke to 6,000 people, many of whom were female, young, and/or of color. Armed with training, a virtual phone bank system, and a Midwest-friendly script, it’s easy to keep the ball rolling!
