With Democratic unity, we deliver on the Biden/Harris promise. We advance our triple recovery from COVID, economic disaster, and near constitutional collapse. We energize our majority, and help clear a path to victory in the 2022 midterms.
Without Democratic unity, we get stalemate. We reinforce apathy, that cancer of American politics, the self-fulfilling prophecy that nothing matters and nothing changes. And we empower unhinged Trump Republicans, endangering our democracy itself.
Democratic unity is so rare it’s almost a George Carlin oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence. There are good reasons for that! Democrats are the party of free thinkers. We’re the party of smart people who question authority. We’re the party who finds our greatest strength in our diversity of perspectives.
The question is, when promise meets reality, can we translate campaign lightning into legislative thunder? In the face of total Republican obstructionism, with what barely qualifies as a Democratic majority, can our moderates and progressives unite to get something done?
Can we deliver? Dolores Huerta and Barack Obama say YES WE CAN.
But it falls to every one of us to help create Democratic unity. We can call our elected representatives and urge them to work together. We can help our sisters and brothers in Virginia get out the vote right now for their critical governor’s race! We can personally commit to finding common ground with our fellow Democrats at every level of government.
America hangs from a cliff. And our right hand refuses to help. So to pull ourselves up, we’re going to need our left hand, our left arm, our left shoulder, and left muscles we didn’t even know we had, all working together.
And in another oxymoron, if we all do this together – we'll save America singlehandedly!

WHERE'S THE BEST PLACE TO REGISTER DEMOCRATS NEAR ME?
Click on our new Hot Spots Map, and instantly find the closest and best high traffic areas – colleges, courthouses, and libraries! These are the places likely to yield the most Democrats per voter drive, making sure your precious volunteer hours are as effective as possible.
Our own genius super volunteer Caleb Rudow has built this amazing map for all 9 of our target states: AZ, CA, FL, GA, NC, NV, PA, TX, and WI. It’s fun, easy, and incredibly helpful. And you can find it right smack on the front page of FieldTeam6.org – within our Voter Drive in a Box. It’s part of the Hot Spots Directory, which also includes a spreadsheet of even more great places to register Democrats.
Nowhere else on the entire Internet can you find a map like this. We’re so grateful for Caleb, and so proud to offer this powerful tool to juice up volunteers’ voter drives nationwide!

LIVE AND NATIONWIDE!
IN-PERSON VOTER DRIVES ARE BACK
|
|
We love them! We missed them! Now In-Person Voter Registration Drives are back and bigger than ever!
When you know what you're doing, In-Person Voter Registration is fun, easy and super effective. And we know what we're doing! In fact, our success in flipping Southern California blue in 2018, and helping to swing Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and other swing states to the good guys in 2020 has inspired progressive allies across the nation.
So we're unveiling more drives in more states as we build to the next critical election where the fate of the world is literally at stake. Want to fight Trumpism and the GOP circus of horrors? Registering Democrats is the #1 most effective way to do that! So hold your own voter drive in your nearest swing state, or join an existing drive... starting with these:

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6:
WISCONSIN DISTRICT 1
Saturday, November 6 from 12-2pm CDT please join us in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's 2022 election is critical for so many reasons. We must oust the awful Senator Ron Johnson, and we must protect Democratic Governor Tony Evers. There's even three seats on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals up for re-election, and we know how important the courts are to beating back anti-voter laws. Voting now is really a case of "use it or lose it," so we've got to register every Democrat we can.
For more info and to RSVP please click HERE.

|
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10:
GEORGIA DISTRICTS 6 & 11
Wednesday, November 10 from 10am-1pm EST please join us in Marietta, Georgia.
In Georgia's 2022 election, we must re-elect Senator Raphael Warnock in order to save our Democratic Senate majority. And we've also got to boot Governor Brian Kemp who, as Secretary of State in 2018, officiated over his own election, purged voter rolls, and brazenly stole the governorship from Democratic champion Stacey Abrams. Time to send him packing!
For more info and to RSVP please click HERE.

Storm any time on your own – and right now, it's especially urgent to keep posting our #McAuliffeDelivers assets to help Get Out the Vote in the Virginia governor's race on Tuesday!
After that, join our upcoming storm on Wednesday, November 3 at 11a PT on Zoom for some socializing and training to develop mad storming skillz! RSVP HERE. No idea what we're talking about? Show up and learn! Our very own Deb Verla is literally a training professional and will make it fun and easy.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4:
BYOP TEXTING BOOTCAMP
Get ready to BYOP – Bring Your Own Phone (*plan)! We're bootcamping next Thursday, November 4 at 4p PT. We’ll train you how to text from your computer, using your data plan. Once trained, you can do this on your own time, whenever you like!
We're texting Wisconsin in honor of our recent Blue Cheese event with Ben Wikler and the yeoman's work he's doing there in the fight against the GOP's nakedly anti-democracy shenanigans. Let's register new Wisconsin Democrats and get Democrats elected up and down the Badger State ballot! ...especially a new senator to replace Republican—and obvious Russian asset—Ron Johnson!
This is no-frills textbanking, so if you’re at all tech-challenged, you may be excused. If you have an ActionID and software to text from your computer, you're ready. RSVP!

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13:
OVERCOMING ACTIVIST FATIGUE
Are you experiencing activist fatigue? You're not alone! The last one of these was so great there's been a clamor for another!
Join Field Team 6 multi-hyphenate Czar (Postcarding, Mobilize, Zoom, Newsletter) Sharon Lord Greenspan and Field Team 6 super activist Cathy O'Krent, who will discuss strategies for remaining positive and active through the political adversity and general chaos we face every day.
This is a reprise of their earlier workshop that was so insightful, impactful and helpful that we asked them to host another.
So if you weren’t one of the 60 folks who attended last time—or you want a metaphorical booster shot—join us on Saturday, November 13 from 5-6pm PT. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, regenerated, and with the tools you need to get back to full strength... so you can get back out there, and kick some a$$ from a place of joy! RSVP HERE.

VOLUNTEER SHOUT-OUT: DAVID HENEGHAN |
|
This week our roving spotlight of gratitude alights on super volunteer David Heneghan, a corporate trainer from California who has worn many hats at Field Team 6 – including video editor, phone banker, and researcher.
What spurred him to become an activist? In his words: "I always voted, and occasionally wrote my representatives in Washington and Sacramento when I felt strongly about an issue. I didn’t start volunteering until Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. That’s also when I saw the need to get more people to register to vote. That’s what motivates me to continue volunteering…. I’d be remiss if I didn’t do something to help save our democracy."
Other causes that drive David include helping the underserved and disadvantaged get a leg up, and teaching English to immigrants.
He enjoys volunteering for Field Team 6 because he’s doing things that use his skill-set – work with his schedule – and have a point of completion, so there’s satisfying closure.
On his dreams for the future: "I try to remain hopeful that our politicians of both parties will summon the courage to make good decisions (i.e. do the right thing) for our country instead of obstinately doing nothing – or insisting on unreasonable positions – so they can keep their seats."
We share that hope. Thank you so much for everything you do, David, with Field Team 6 and otherwise. Your inspiration gives us all more hope for the future of our democracy!
|
|
Be like David! We're looking for people with a little time and almost any skill to share.
DATA WRANGLER Want to be part of an exciting project that could super-charge our efforts to register Democrats before the 2022 do-or-die midterms? Do you have spreadsheet chops and an almost embarrassing obsession with details? Come on down!
Sign up for this, our other current needs, or pleasantly surprise us HERE.
