In March, Covid turned us overnight into an all-digital voter registration army. Since then, we've found an amazing list of 2.4 million college students, and raised the money to pay for it. We've found the huge database we needed to use all these contacts, and raised the money to pay for that too. We've found and hired a few breathtakingly talented people to help our 135-volunteer staff to organize this massive project, and they have raised the money to pay for themselves. Today, we do not yet have the money we need to get through our entire college list. But we *DO* have enough to get started. And not a moment too soon.
Our biggest push ever begins now.
Today we are rolling out our first Field Team 6 phone and text banks to contact the students on our college list in Pennsylvania and Florida. In the coming weeks, we’ll be setting up phone and text banks in the rest of our 12 battleground states.
We need your help, now more than ever! We need volunteers to be Phone Bank Captains, to join our Phone Bank Training Team, to join our Zoom Force (to help with very basic IT), and to step up and take charge of a state as one of our Digital Field Directors! If you’ve got the heart for any of these volunteer positions, we can train you up in no time. (See Classifieds below.)
We’ve got 89 days left to topple a tyrant, and take down his traitorous party.
We’ve got 89 days until we show the world again what America can be.
ARE YOU FIRED UP? READY TO GO?

ENTER THE FUND-MAP: PUT $$ IN DISTRICTS!
Introducing a fun, new crowdfunding tool to help register more people to vote. Our interactive map highlights our 12 target states down to their counties and precincts. (State Senate and House Districts, too!)
Simply pick one where you want your dollars to make a difference, choose the number of voters you want to help register (e.g. 20 voters = $30) and our automated system will mail out voter registration forms pre-filled with the info of the prospective registrants, along with prepaid return envelopes already addressed to their local County Registrar.
All the voter has to do is sign the form and pop it back in the mail. And we use USPS tracking tech to make sure every registration gets exactly where it needs to go!
