Hey kiddies, 2024 is comin' our way fast. Time to get up to speed with our awesome Nitty Gritty Viddies.

BUILD OUR VOLUNTEER TEAM = HELP RECRUIT FOR FT6!

When it comes to saving our Democracy we need all hands on deck, so we’re making it easier than ever to share your passion and help Field Team 6 expand our volunteer base.

After all, what could be more fun than saving the world with all your friends?

To help spread the message, we have beautiful art in four program-specific pledges + general posts looking for volunteers (including behind-the-scenes, see image above). Customize the art with your own messages to easily tout the work you've decided to do already to help Field Team 6 in our mission, and inspire others to help register new Democrats in swing states, via texts, phone calls, postcards or in-person.

You can find all the assets HERE under the Volunteer category and send them out as many times as your fingers will allow on the social media platform(s) of your choice! And if YOU personally can help out behind the scenes in any capacity, let us know HERE!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24 & ON: WISCONSIN SUPREME BLITZ

With the help of Field Team 6 donors and volunteers, we sent 200k emails, 100k+ texts, made thousands of calls and generated millions of impressions registering new Democrats and GOTVing in the Wisconsin Supreme Court primary and... Judge Janet Protasiewicz made it into the general! (Say pro-tuh-SAY-witz, then say hoo-RAY!)

Why? Because Judge Janet could tip the balance on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and restore sanity (and democracy!) to the Badger State.

A bit of backstory: in 2011, the Wisconsin GOP gerrymandered control of the state legislature with the most corrupt maps ever seen and the Republican-majority state Supreme Court let them. That led to results like this, from 2018: Republicans won 46 percent of the statewide vote but 64 percent of the seats in the state Assembly. That is some gerrymandering! But now one of those Trumpy justices is retiring. She tried to ban absentee ballot drop boxes in 2021, so good riddance!

That one seat — if we can elect Judge Janet — will flip the majority to progressive. Then we can fix those maps. And ditch the crazy 1849 abortion ban (that took effect thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court gutting Roe). And beat back the ongoing attacks on voting rights. Yep. This election's stakes are incredibly high.

That's why, in the run-up to this key April 4th election, we're partnering with our friends at The Union on a massive voter registration and GOTV effort. We need all hands on deck, so please help out with as many of these events as you can:

Friday Phone Banks – every Friday till the election we're calling likely Democratic voters in WI. We'll train you! Next up: Friday, February 24 from 12-2p CT. RSVP HERE.

Tuesday Text Arcades – It's just $25 a ticket and 100% of that funds the text bank. Short on cash but want to text? Email us HERE and we'll help. The next Arcade is Tuesday, February 28 at 3p PT / 5p CT. Sign up HERE!

WI Postcarding – go HERE to get everything you need to start postcarding to the Badger State.

Social Storming – go HERE to find a whole bunch of Wisconsin assets (hiding in the Wisconsin category) to push out immediately on your favorite platform. And follow judge Janet Protasiewicz on Twitter and amplify her Tweets!

And if you can't join us for any of those events, you can always donate to help meet our all-important data needs for Wisconsin HERE, so we can contact all the kids who have just turned 18, and so many more! That helps immensely. So let's gooooooo!
