Happy 2023, and happy new Congress! For their opening move, House Republicans pooped their pants, fell down the stairs, and stuck their head in a fire. Well done!
This chaos will continue for the next two years.
Our job will be:
• to make fun of them relentlessly
• to contrast their uselessness with every time #DemocratsDeliver
• and to use that momentum to register new Democrats who can WIN IT ALL in 2024.
So while the House holds endless votes on which empty suit will lead the Party of No, let’s go do some powerful good – and say yes to registering more new Democrats! This is why Field Team 6 is so special. We do this all year, every year!
Here’s why every single Democrat counts: in 2022, if we had about 7,000 more Democratic votes in 5 key races, we would not have lost the House.
And we have an incredible opportunity right now. Because on April 4, in 89 days, there is a crucial Supreme Court Election in Wisconsin that can flip the court’s majority from conservative to liberal.
Wisconsin is currently enduring a near-total abortion ban passed in 1849. Its Republican gerrymandering may be the worst in the country. And its voting rights remain under attack. A WI Supreme Court with a liberal majority could fix all of that.
We have postcard campaigns, text arcades, and phone banks ready to go! We have free BYOP text banks in the works as you read this. And our social storms are fired up again! So sign up at Volunteer Ops, because we need you to get back to doing what you do best – saving the world.

TEXT ARCADES: GO 2023!
After our successful midterm push (witness the chaos in the House GOP!), we're ramping up one of our go-to tools: Text Arcades.
Yep, we still have more eligible voters who are likely Democrats in our database than we have the cash to text.
So come to our Text Arcade Tuesdays! A superfast text bank that costs $25 a ticket, where 100% of your ticket funds this text bank. Plus, we cap attendance, so everyone gets 1400 texts to send! Want to donate to let someone else text? Click below. Want to text but don't have the green? Email us HERE and we'll fix you up.
The plan is to do one a week in 2023. Starting with a Wisconsin Supreme Court Arcade – January 10 at 3p PT / 5p CT. Sign up HERE

We're pretty fired up after all the progress we made in 2022 (and a bit giddy at the current GOP House implosion) and we hope you are too. If you'd like to translate that passion into action, we're always looking for volunteers. So if you have talents in any flavor, we can put them to good use... for the good of the world.
We're looking to add to our Partnerships Team, our Events Team, our Data Team, our Calendar Team, our Social Media Team, our Team Team (just seeing if you're paying attention) and more.

BLUE VOTER GUIDE: IT'S NOT JUST FOR SWING STATES ANYMORE
It's official: BlueVoterGuide.org is a massive success! It's a super-helpful, handy-dandy guide to progressive candidates, initiatives, and ballot measures, and it was instrumental in helping over 50,000 voters make strong choices in the midterm elections (and we're making it better with version 2.0).
Most remarkably, Blue Voter Guide made a huge splash even though it was only available in nine swing states; think what it could accomplish if it was nationwide!
With your help it can be. We're signing up volunteers today to expand the Blue Voter Guide in 2024 – to make sure we keep the White House and Senate Blue, take back the House, and help voters make progressive choices easily up and down every ballot.
Click HERE to join the winning team! So much winning!
