THE SLAUGHTER WON'T STOP
TILL WE VOTE THEM ALL OUT
|
|
Another school massacre.
19 children. 2 teachers.
212 mass shootings so far this year.
How many more slaughters?
How many more victims?
How many more shattered communities?
We must stop the GOP.
We must stop the NRA.
They are accomplices to mass murder.
We feel helpless, but we can overcome it.
We’re full of sadness, but we can be motivated by it.
Things seem hopeless, but they’re not.
Because there’s a lot we can do – together.

Let’s stop the bullets.
Let’s stop the carnage.
Let’s save our lives.

Dedicated to those we lost Monday
and in all the senseless gun shootings
that happen daily…only in America.

PRIMARY ROUNDUP:
GEORGIA STYLE
Two days ago, Georgians showed up to their primaries en masse.
In Georgia, on the Democratic side, our champion Stacey Abrams ran unopposed, and is now the official nominee for Governor. As expected, Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock is our official nominee for the Senate.
In the Republican primary for Governor, Perdue lost despite Trump’s endorsement, and Kemp won despite Pence’s endorsement. It will now be a rematch between national hero Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp, who stole an election from Stacey four years ago. And we don’t say that lightly. Kemp was Secretary of State while he ran. As such, he purged 1.5 million voters from the rolls between 2012 and 2016 alone. He “won” by about 50,000 votes.
This time will be different.
In the Senate race, the stunningly eloquent Rev. Warnock will run against MAGA Republican, alleged domestic abuser, and evolution denier Herschel Walker. If evolution is real, he argued recently, “why are there still apes? Think about it.” As Georgians say: bless your heart, Herschel.
The turnout for the GA primary set new records… as it did in the North Carolina primary on May 17. Many MAGA Republicans tout this as proof that their new Jim Crow 2.0 laws do not actually suppress the vote. That is an ugly lie.
The truth is that Democrats are outraged – are organized – and are turning their passion into action.
We are turning out in record numbers despite their attempts to supress the vote. Our organizing is beating their cheating. And if we keep doing that until November, we just might save the Senate, the House, and the democracy itself.

URGENT CALL TO ACTION:
HOLD A PRIDE DRIVE IN JUNE
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month – and Pride events are the number one places to register eager new Democrats, BAR NONE. We'd love small or large groups of our awesome volunteers to head to Pride Events around the country, and represent!
Not only is this a great place to sign up new progressive voters, it's also a great way to show our support for the LGBTQ+ community. And if you can get to a Pride Event in any of our 9 target states: AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX and WI... so much the better!
Find everything you need to set up your own voter drive in Voter Drive in a Box, and please email helpmydrive@fieldteam6.org with any questions at all. And here’s just one of many Pride Event Calendars you can find online. REMEMBER: people at Pride events are friendly, so it’s one of the most fun, rewarding places to register new Democrats. And the voters we register here could decide who wins in November!
HOT TIP: No time to learn how to register voters? Print out our QR code flyers HERE and pass them out to everyone you can! They take the user straight to Voterizer.org, our own custom-built voter registration portal. It's the fastest way to register a Democrat!™
HOTTER TIP: Philly Pride is from June 2-5! Get out there and register new Dems to vote for John Fetterman for Senate – let them know LGBTQ+ rights and legalizing marijuana are his two signature issues!
HOTTEST TIP: We are currently researching how we’ll be able to use geofencing to send targeted social media ads to attendees of major Pride events in our swing states. Donate HERE to help fund this and all our efforts to register members of the LGBTQ+ community!
