GOOD NEWS FROM INSIDE THE BLUE WAVE

12 days out from the most important election of our lives, it's easy to fall prey to vicious riptides of fear and hope. It helps to get off the Pollercoaster! As Dan Pfeiffer says, polls "are mood-altering statistical drugs. No one knows what’s going to happen in this election."


But thanks to YOUR ongoing Herculean efforts – our partners, volunteers, and donors – here's some powerful good news that we do know. 


In the last month, we have held 25 text banks...

…into 9 target states: AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX, WI

…and swing districts in 5 more states: KS, CO, IA, MI, and OK.


We have texted a total of 2,561,888 people...

...unregistered, likely Democrats, the vast majority of them women.


Our first text always ends in a voter registration link. The percentage an eligible voter clicks on that link is our clickthrough rate.


Our current clickthrough rate dwarfs our average rate from the 2020 cycle. 

In 2020, a clickthrough rate of .5% was at the very high end of what we were getting.

This last month’s 25 textbanks averaged a 3.0% clickthrough rate.


What that means is that in the past month alone, people have clicked on our voter registration links 77,872 times! 


This does not include any of the many other types of outreach we’ve been doing – this is just texting, and just the last month. But these numbers were too great not to share.


You made ALL of this, and more, possible. 


One last number – two days ago, the Cook Political Report moved KS-03 (where we texted 33,000 people for Sharice Davids) from Toss Up to Lean Democrat. (NOT saying we did that. Just saying.)


And we're not done! We've got 12 MORE DAYS to register Democrats! We are working through the buzzer, in states that allow registration during early voting and on Election Day – NC, NV, WI, and CA. (And more if our donations allow it!)


So sign up for events below – donate above – and let's do the work that earns us our democracy!

BIG BREAKING GOOD NEWS!

WE LOVE OUR PARTNERS! 

Our work is only as strong as our family of wonderful partners.


In partnerships, Field Team 6 strives to be of service, supplying expertise, data, training, support, and funding (when possible) for all forms of outreach to incredible groups on the ground, who customize the script so it speaks to the voters they know best. We work together to make sure we’re targeting the areas that most need help, and pool our volunteers to deepen involvement across organizations!


Our efforts this last month were supercharged by these truly outstanding partners: The Union, Meidas Touch, Call to Activism, Fearless Action, Progress North in WI, New North Carolina Project, Georgia NOW, Bring It Home Florida, Indivisible Tucson Action Alliance, Mothers Against Greg Abbott, Bedford County Democrats (PA) and Turn PA Blue… as well as the congressional campaigns of Malcolm Kenyatta (PA State House), Madison Horn (OK Senate), Dina Titus (NV-01), Alex Garza (MI State House), Will Rollins (CA-41), Adam Gray (CA-13), and Marisa Wood (CA-20).


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your partnership – and for the astonishing work we’ve done together. Let’s keep going!!

WANTED: VOTING VIDEOS! 

Founder Jason Berlin makes a short voting video for every election. Watch this year's HERE.


Let’s all make it a tradition! Take a video of yourself at some point in the voting process – on the way to the polls, dropping your ballot in a dropbox, even filling out a mail-in ballot at home! Make it no longer than 2 minutes. [NOTE: Please follow your state laws – in some states it’s not ok to take video inside a voting booth or near a polling place.]


Most importantly, tell us why you’re voting and how it makes you feel. Then send it to us HERE.


Americans have marched and demonstrated, fought and died for the right to vote – to choose our own government. The simple act of sharing your experience can be the biggest possible motivator to other potential voters. Can’t wait to see your video!

GET THE GUIDE AND

EVENTS

TODAY!!! — OCTOBER 27:

BYOP IS THE WAY TO BE

Free texting continues with updated scripts for several critical swing states. Remember: No Voter Left Behind!


BYOP—which stands for "Bring Your Own Phone"—is perfect for people with an unlimited texting plan. Or you can use a free Google Voice number. Either way, if you already know how how to text from your computer, you're way ahead of the game! If you don’t we’ll show you… it’s easy!


We’ve got a BYOP bootcamp this very afternoon: Thursday, October 27 at 4p PT. We’ll answer all your questions, train you how to text from your computer, and share some cool scripts which you can totally make your own as you join us in texting swing states and districts all across the nation… all home to vital contests in the battle to save democracy! RSVP right HERE.

TODAY!!! — OCTOBER 27:

BLUE VOTER GUIDE TRAINING

Starting to think about filling out that ballot on (or, ideally before) November 8th? Feeling a little stressed? A tiny bit overwhelmed? Don’t sweat it, we gotchu covered with this handy-dandy event – How to Build Your Ballot with Blue Voter Guide.


The awesome BlueVoterGuide.org lays out everything you need to know to evaluate candidates, judges, and propositions with endorsements from groups on the left. Plus with BVG, you can create your own customized guide to help with your mail-in ballot or take into the voting booth, and even share with others. BlueVoterGuide.org is now operational in key battleground states – AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX, and WI. Learn how to use BVG this very evening, Thursday, October 27 from 5–6p PT – sign up HERE for the training event. And learn more about BVG HERE.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1:

TEXT ARCADE RIDES AGAIN!

Problem: We have more eligible voters who are likely Democrats in our database than we have the cash to text.


Solution: the Text Arcade! ...a superfast text bank that costs $25 a ticket, where 100% of your ticket funds this text bank. We cap attendance to make sure everyone has 1400 texts to send!


We went all in with Text Arcade Tuesdays the last few months, and wow did they make a difference! So now we're aiming to finish strong. Next Tuesday, November 1 at 3p PT we're holding a Text Arcade for Wisconsin, where eligible voters can still register in-person, at their Municipal Clerk's during early voting or at their voting location on Election Day. Our job is to make sure they know that! (And on Election Day Tuesday, we'll have our final text arcade to Nevada at 10a PT.)


We'll be reaching out to unregistered, likely Democrats—especially women—and asking them to help save their personal liberties and our entire democracy by registering & voting on or before 11/8. Sign up HERE!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2 & ON: UNLEASH THE TEXTS!

"A textbank a day keeps the fascists away."


It's true! The power of texting in voter registration is undeniable. So Field Team 6 and our partners are cooking up a powerful batch of textbanks between now and the midterms. Have a taste! (Free. All times local. Training provided. Click links to RSVP.)


Wisconsin Texting: Wednesday November 2, 10a-12p PT/12-2p CT (w/The Union)

North Carolina TextingThursday November 3, 12-2p PT/3-5p ET (w/The Union)

CA-41, 45, 47 TextingFriday November 4, 10a-12p PT/1-3p ET (w/the CA-41 Will Rollins campaign and The Union!)


Each of these is a superfast textbank using the Spoke Rewired platform! You'll generally be reaching out to eligible female voters with a pro-abortion rights message, and believe us... these likely Democrats will want to hear from you!


And, if you are (or know) an organization on the ground in any of our swing states, please intro yourself (or them) to Partnerships@FieldTeam6.org. We'd love to meet you (them)!
