As the COO of Field Team 6 I have the happy opportunity to cross paths with a wide swath of amazingly talented and dedicated volunteers from many walks of life every single day. In the first 19 or 20 months of the pandemic, exactly all of those interactions were over Zoom.

It was a little bit of a surprise that in early October of 2021 Field Team 6 was able to have an in-person fundraiser called Ballots Over Broadway. It’s produced annually by super-activist Jess Stamen and hosted (whenever Covid allows) in super-activist Jen Levin’s backyard in Los Angeles. Delta was on the way out and Omicron hadn’t reared its ugly head, and it seemed safe enough to get together with fellow vaxxer-activists outdoors wearing masks. I almost didn’t go.

I showed up a little early to see if there was any need to help set up and was almost immediately approached by a volunteer I only knew from Zoom who hugged me and immediately burst into tears. We were all a little emotional at being together in real life after so long so I didn’t think much about it. I won’t give you the blow by blow, but the night was magical, the music insanely moving, the stars shining. She and I ended up working one of the open bars together and the chemistry was like Pop Rocks but all over. We sat together, and as the chairs were being put away at the end of the evening I asked her out. She said yes and we’ve been together ever since.

This New Year’s holiday we were in Santa Fe staying in a beautiful adobe carriage house without cell phone service and spotty WiFi. I asked her to marry me. She said yes. For you gossip column lovers, yes, one knee was involved, no ring (because I knew she wanted her grandmother’s ring to be redesigned), but there was a poem I wrote for the occasion that stood in. Yes, it was a complete surprise.

So I am engaged!

There’s something just as beautiful as my fiancée that needs your commitment. It’s democracy. Ships have pronouns, and for this purpose I’m taking the literary liberty to give democracy pronouns. We’ve never been closer to losing her. We’ve never been blessed with more people who are working to save her.

Will you commit to doing whatever you can this year to register more pro-democracy voters where they are needed the most? I am asking you to get engaged too! If you can do one thing a day, or a week, or a month please do. Donating counts. Because what we do costs money.

Do you see the future we can create together? One of prosperity, freedoms for all, kindness and all the love we can handle?

I do.

– Dale Roy Robinson, COO, Field Team 6

MONDAY, JANUARY 15: MLK VIRTUAL DAY OF ACTION!

The battle for control of the House is heating up with a high-profile Special Election on February 13 in NY's 3rd district, the seat vacated by the disgraced Rep. George Santos.

The Dems are running former Rep. Tom Suozzi, who repped the district for three terms before stepping away. He's going up against newly announced GOP candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip, a current county legislator and former Israeli army soldier. And the Cook Political Report calls the race a "toss up!"

So New York for Biden+Harris is hosting a Virtual Day of Action focused on winning this crucial race. They'll have training sessions about the messaging for NY-03 and breakout groups for door knocking, voter registration, phonebanking, and postcarding. Plus, our very own Jason Berlin will be presenting on behalf of FT6.

This virtual unity rally takes place on Monday, January 15 at 3p PT/6p ET. Sign up HERE. Can’t wait? Find all our volunteer opportunities for NY-03 and every swing district in NY HERE.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13: PHONE BANK FOR NY-03

The race for the NY-03 House seat is make-or-break. It was so much fun saying buh-bye to slimy Santos. Now let's get the word out for Democrat Tom Suozzi. Our brand new partner, NY for Biden+Harris, is co-hosting a phonebank with us to reach eligible voters who are likely Dems. All training provided! It's Saturday, January 13 from 8a PT/11a ET. Sign up HERE!

SATURDAY, JANUARY 13: JUMPSTART YOUR ACTIVISM!

Activist fatigue is no joke. No matter how supercharge-motivated we are, it seems like every victory is just the start of another battle. That's great for a Dungeons and Dragons quest, but in real life it gets tiring!

That's okay, we've all been there, and we have tools to help you bust through the wall and kick off the new year with a headspace full of motivation and pizzazz! Field Team 6 multi-hyphenate Czar (Postcarding, Mobilize, Zoom, Newsletter) Sharon Lord Greenspan and Field Team 6 super activist Cathy O'Krent are experts at overcoming the fatigue, and they're hosting another episode of their hit workshop to discuss strategies for remaining upbeat and positive through nonstop worldwide chaos.

This meeting of like-minded folks will leave you feeling refreshed, regenerated, and armed with all the tools you need to get back to full strength... so you can get back out there and do what needs to be done, all from a place of joy. Join us Saturday, January 13 at 4p PT/7p ET. Sign up right HERE.

JANUARY 18: LET'S GET OUR BESTIES BACK!

We love our volunteers!!! So when we don't see them for awhile, we miss 'em madly! And heading into the most important election of our lives, we need 'em more than ever. So instead of just playing sad songs and wondering why they ghosted us, we're reaching out! And we need you to pitch in.

We're phonebanking to former phonebankers and asking them to phonebank once again. Trust us, it totally makes sense. So please click HERE and join us Thursday, January 18 at 1p PT for the chillest phonebank ever, since we're calling friends. It's a guaranteed love-fest!

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20: BLUE VOTER GUIDE PARTY!

True story: the #1 reason young and inexperienced voters abstain from voting is Ballot Confusion. The plain and simple fact is that the dang ballots aren't plain and simple! And it's not just young people who feel that way: even the most experienced voters can get overwhelmed by the amount of information they need to make good choices. Enter BlueVoterGuide.org.

The process is easy. Go to the site, type your address, and you'll see everything that will be on your ballot—candidates, measures, judges—accompanied by a list of trusted, progressive endorsers for each. Like an X-ray of who supports whom. It empowers quick, informed, pro-democracy choices up and down ballot, in just minutes instead of hours. Plus, the results can be printed, saved, and shared with friends and family. It's a secret weapon that will boost turnout in all 50 states this year.

So all our Los Angeles peeps, please come join us for Ride with the Guide in Los Feliz on Saturday, January 20 at 2p PT. You'll meet special guests, including the inspirational team that grew the guide from a simple idea into a 50-state, progressive juggernaut! And if you can't make it to the event, please consider supporting this fantastic new tool that will make all the difference to Blue candidates in close, swing elections. RSVP and/or donate HERE!
