CONFESSION: WE ARE TIRED!
Are you tired? Because we are TIRED!
 
Our legs are tired from dancing since the news of the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Our hands are tired from clapping about inflation slowing to a halt this month.
Our arms are tired from fist pumps about the Inflation Reduction Act passing the Senate – the greatest climate investment in history, which also expands access to healthcare, allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices, and pays down the federal deficit.

So yeah, we’re tired – but our hearts are glowing from all this incredible news.
And our voices have never been stronger!

Below, you’ll find SO many great ways to use your voice to reach out and register women in Pennsylvania, people of color in North Carolina, young people in Georgia, LGBTQ+ people in Texas, and wonderful people of all kinds in all our swing states. 

Sign up for an event today – and help make sure Republicans keep dropping in the polls as fast as gas prices!
BIG BREAKING GOOD NEWS!
OFFICIAL: BLUE VOTER GUIDE IS A FIELD TEAM 6 PROJECT! THAT'S HUUUUGE FOR GOTV!
The amount of homework we all need to do to cast our vote responsibly can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s doubly true for young, infrequent or new voters (like the ones we help register). Biden over Tr*mp? That’s a no-brainer! But how about that County Supervisor? Or those candidates for District Court judge? Or these confusingly worded ballot propositions?

Now you can find the answers you need with Field Team 6's amazing new Blue Voter Guide – and turn your sample ballot into a simple ballot! It’s a new online tool that makes voting easy by clearly showing the endorsements of a wide range of progressive organizations. BVG will include candidates running in the 100 most-populated cities in the U.S. and overlapping counties, plus all federal and statewide elections, including ballot measures, and state legislators in every district, nationwide.

Our data team is working now to have the guide populated with endorsers by September 9, so it’s ready for the November midterms. Right now, Blue Voter Guide shows endorsers in CA, NC, and TX (check it out HERE).

Soon, if you live in any of our swing states, AZ, CA, GA, FL, NC, NV, PA, TX or WI, just enter your address and your ballot appears — with blue endorsements added to candidates, ballot measures, and judges. Mark your choices and Blue Voter Guide creates a helpful list of your selections that you can print and take with you to the polling place... or the cozy nook where you fill out your mail-in ballot. You can keep everything private... or email to friends, family, or anyone else... even share on social media.

Click HERE for a brief video on just how this magical new tool works!
As we roll out, we’ll be partnering with every other progressive organization we can find to promote the guide so that progressives voters in swing states have an easier time voting! What a goal! We must be Democrats! Are you in a battleground state and connected with activists there? Want to become a Blue Voter Guide Ambassador? Contact Wayne Liebman HERE. And if you’d like to help with funding this amazing project, please click HERE. Order a yard sign to help spread the BVG word HERE!

We register Democrats to save the world. Let's make sure all of those new Democrats (and every other progressive voter we can reach) has the tools to easily vote up and down their entire ballot!

WEEKLY POSTCARD PARTIES
Our famous Postcarding Parties are back and better than ever—because now they're twice a week!

Yes, you can write voter registration postcards in a group... from the comfort of your kitchen table... and you can do it on Sundays and Wednesdays. That's a win-win-win-win.

The weekend sessions take place Sunday evenings and are led by Sandy Johnson. RSVP HERE for the next one on Sunday, August 14 from 5-7p PT.

Wednesday's sessions are led by long-time postcarding guru Laurie Mendik and take place in the afternoon. RSVP HERE for our upcoming sesh on Wednesday, August 17 from 2-4p PT.

At both parties, we'll teach you everything you need to know about our voter registration outreach through postcards. Our focus, as always, is registering Democrats in flippable districts. And for those who are already trained up, feel free to hop right into our breakout room to write postcards and talk politics. See you soon!

TUESDAY, AUGUST 23:
CALIFORNIA TEXTING
California includes so many swing districts that it could easily determine which party controls the House. So we have partnered with two wonderful activist organizations to text bank into six of the most crucial battleground districts. Fearless Action is a youth-led group helping to register and turn out new (and young) Democrats, and Swing Left West Valley has adopted CA-27 and is working to flip it back to blue with canvassing, phonebanking, letters/postcards and textbanking. Thanks to both!

RSVP HERE for this juicy textbank on Tuesday, August 23 from 10a PT.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24:
VOLUNTEER FAIR
The do-or-die midterms are fast approaching, and we have got to keep our Democratic majorities in the Senate and House. The good news is we have a secret weapon... YOU.

Activism is just talking to people. It turns out that's how you change the world, whether that's in person, on the phone, via text, postcard or social storm.

So whether you're just curious about Field Team 6 or a seasoned organizer, join us at this volunteer fair – find out all the fun (actual fun!) ways you can help – and see if you can resist signing up for an upcoming event!

It's too important to not try once – and too much fun to not try again.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25:
MEET THE CANDIDATES WITH HOST BRIAN TYLER COHEN!
This is one of those rare events — a chance to actually meet the candidates from the most critical battleground states. They’re running to save the Senate! They’re running to save the House. They’re running down-ballot too! And it'll all be hosted by podcasting superstar Brian Tyler Cohen!

We'll also be hearing from some of our most incredible volunteers at Field Team 6. And, as the diabolical organizers we are, after our candidates get you all fired up, we’ll connect you with fun and effective volunteer opportunities to register Democrats in each of these critical swing states! Sign up HERE for this virtual Meet the Candidates event on Thursday, August 25 from 5-6p PT. See you there!
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6:
STRATEGY BRIEFING
Only two months out from the November midterms, we'll lay out our updated, innovative plan for exactly how we can save the Senate – the House – and the democracy.

The GOP is praying we are hopeless and unmotivated. Good luck with that! Our volunteers and donors are spending every available day and dollar reaching out to potential voters and adding their voices to the growing chorus of millions coming to rescue democracy itself.

Now is the time to join us on the road to victory! Get the latest metrics on our effectiveness, and learn all the fun, creative ways we’ve devised to register new Democrats in the weeks before November 8th. There's nothin' like a deadline! This critical Strategy Briefing will be Tuesday, September 6 from 5-6p PT. Register HERE.
FOR OUR CALIFORNIA FRIENDS
FRIDAY, AUGUST 19:
KAREN BASS MEET & GREET!
Residents of Southern California, you're in for a real treat! The Friday after next, you can come say hello to the future (God willing) Mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass.

You'll have an opportunity to ask questions, get to know Representative Bass, and discover for yourself why she is exactly right for the job.

This special event, co-hosted by several of our progressive partners, will be held at a private home in Northridge on Friday, August 19 from 7-9p PT. The event will be outside where masks will not be required (but they will be required inside the house).

Sign up HERE for more details, and we hope to see you there!
SATURDAY, AUGUST 20:
CHRISTY SMITH VOTER OUTREACH DAY OF ACTION
Field Team 6 and the Out of Many, One Coalition are holding a Voter Outreach Day of Action in Antelope Valley on Saturday, August 20 from 9a-12p PT.

Carpool up to this picturesque slice of Southern California to talk with voters about the issues they care about most:

• Reproductive Freedom
• Environmental Justice
• Quality Healthcare Affordability and Access for All
• Quality Public Education for All
• Investing in Working Families
• Freedom from Gun Violence

These are all issues that Christy Smith will fight for on behalf of the people of Antelope Valley, and all of CD27, because she cares about improving their lives.

You know who doesn't? Christy's opponent, Mike Garcia, the fake moderate Republican (lol) who went full MAGA once in office, declaring his love of Trump, guns and border walls. He advocates repealing the ACA, 'natch, has an A rating from Gun Owners of America (a group that makes the NRA look tame), and he voted for overturning the 2020 election. So... yeah.

Antelope Valley leans blue – all it will take for Christy to send The Notorious B.M.G. (Bloviating Mike Garcia) packing is for progressives to show up on Election Day. And that's where we can help. So sign up HERE, grab some sunscreen and join the fun!
