WORLDS SAVED:   1
PROGRESSIVES WE HELPED REGISTER: 2,940,883
TOTAL VOTERS REACHED: over 15,000,000
DAYS UNTIL FT. WORTH MAYORAL ELECTION: 30
DAYS UNTIL 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION: 550
POWER TO THE PEOPLES
Big Texas news: in a stunning upset in the Fort Worth mayoral election on Saturday, Democrat Deborah Peoples was the top vote-getter! That means she will now face off against the anointed conservative candidate Mattie Parker in the runoff election June 5.

Deborah Peoples is not only a Democrat – she’s Chair of the Tarrant County Democratic Party. In 2020, she helped flip the county blue for Biden/Harris for the first time since LBJ! So we need to get Democrats out on that crucial day, and make her the first Black mayor of Fort Worth.

This victory on Saturday was fueled by all of YOU and your phone banks, texts, and postcards! And now we need to get Deborah across the finish line – so please sign up for a GOTV phone bank or GOTV postcards into Fort Worth. 

And remember – we can expect super low turnout for this election, so every single Democratic vote we secure makes a gigantic difference! Let’s DO this!

Join us for a Social Storm this Saturday, May 8 from 11a-1p PT in the name of John Lewis as part of 100+ events across the nation to pass the For the People Act (S1), the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act (HR4), and to finally grant Statehood (and full representation!) to D.C.

They'll be talking all things politics and digging into the details of Trippi's nearly four decades of work, from Ted Kennedy's 1980 presidential campaign to Doug Jones' historic 2018 Senate win in Alabama. Get tickets HERE! And read Joe's heartwarming story on Walter Mondale's passing HERE.
TUESDAY, MAY 18: DEMOCRACY: RED, WHITE, AND ROSÉ

EXPLETIVE NOT DELETED!
Politics is already pretty twisted, but on Thursday, May 27 at 5p PT, that's a good thing! Because that's when the vocal superstars of Futurama, Pinky & The Brain, Ren & Stimpy, Adventure Time, Samurai Jack, and more, partake in a raucous, live re-enactment of the most hilarious and/or awful remarks ever recorded… secretly or otherwise… by your favorite national leaders. (A term very loosely applied in some cases.)

Moderated by David X. Cohen of The Simpsons and Futurama fame, the night features some of the best VO artists in the business giving the business to Richard Nixon, The Former Guy, Sarah Palin, Lyndon Johnson, Barack Obama, and many more. Proceeds from this virtual event benefit Field Team 6, and you can get your tickets HERE.

ADOPT-A-TRAITOR UPDATE
147 Republicans voted to overturn an American election. We’ve found 3 million unregistered Democrats in their districts. Let’s register every single one we can – and make sure these traitors lose their seats in a landslide.

We want to release ou registration Kraken on two traitor targets: Richard Hudson of North Carolina and Carlos Gimenez of Florida. Can you chip in and help us unleash the full force of our digital organizing on every single unregistered likely Democrat in their districts? And remember – by adopting Richard or Carlos, you're helping defeat bonus traitors too! In 2022, every single Democrat we register in North Carolina will help us take the Senate seat Richard Burr is leaving open. And every Dem in Florida will help us beat Governor Ron DeSantis as well as Senator Marco Rubio!

Not sure who to choose? Check out the adoption videos below!
Traitor Richard Hudson (NC-08)
Goal: $7,548; Progress: $3,244


Traitor Carlos Gimenez (FL-26)
Goal: $5,106; Progress: $3,206


Phone Bank to Unseat Traitor Carlos Gimenez & Marco Rubio (COMING SOON, REALLY) - and calling Spanish speakers – we need you!

It took an incredible amount of work to save the world in 2020. And the work continues! What's not continuing – at least for the next couple weeks – are our fundraising emails! You'll still get email updates about any and all volunteer opportunities, but we thought we'd keep those fundraising asks confined to the newsletter and give your inboxes a little breather. And we want you to know that we appreciate your contributions to the ends of the earth and back!
THE TEX-FILES:
OUR KEY TO TURN TEXAS BLUE
Texas is purple, friends, and it's getting bluer every year. Beto O'Rourke lost his 2018 race by a whisker while Joe Biden drew 5.2 million Democratic Texans to the polls in 2020—that's nearly TWO MILLION more than voted for President Obama in 2012.

What's next? Getting it over the line in 2022! That's why Field Team 6 is looking to buy the latest Texas voter data telling us who got registered and who voted. This will help identify what worked best in 2020 and make sure we're spending our money wisely reaching out to as yet unregistered Democrats. CLICK HERE to help raise the $1,300 we need to buy this critical data! And thank you!
TRUST THE VOTE
Rebuilding faith in America’s voting systems is a crucial project, one that the nonprofit Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute is tackling head-on with their new TrustTheVote Project. Their plan is to build the most verifiable, accurate, secure, and transparent voting software in the world, with the entire code base available online for anyone who wants to look under the hood.

OSET is trying to make this happen in time for the 2024 elections – and they need your help! If you believe that publicly owned and fully transparent election software is important for restoring trust in our democracy, please sign their petition HERE.
