We often talk about politics being local because elections have powerful local consequences, like whether you can access safe birth control, public schools, or clean drinking water. It's easy to forget that our elections have a huge impact far beyond our own borders. This week made that starkly clear.

Trump's election fueled Putin's worst expansionist tendencies and this week Trump all but invited Russia to invade our NATO allies if they don't meet non-binding defense spending targets, jeopardizing the global security alliance that's kept the peace in Europe for 80 years. And Trump's lackeys in the House are stalling funding that could cause Ukraine to lose the war to Russia. If Putin topples democracy there, his armies will be at NATO's door - and we could face World War III.

All this and Trump isn't even in the White House. Imagine the international chaos if Trump were to beat Biden.

Here's the other side: the global impact of your activism. Because Field Team 6 volunteers, alongside progressive activists nationwide, helped elect Biden in 2020, our democracy still stands. Because our democracy still stands, we were able to help Ukraine in their hour of need, and against all odds, their democracy still stands. Biden and the other Democrats you helped elect passed the biggest climate investment in history, which helps the entire world. And under Biden's guidance the U.S. has enjoyed the strongest economic recovery of the G7, which in turn strengthens the global economy.

Democracy lives on because of heroes like you. Every postcard you write, text you send, call you make, dollar you donate, and Democrat you register brings us one step closer to stopping the orange fascist and saving democracy, here and around the world.

DON'T MISS THIS PODCAST: JASON BERLIN ON A MOMENT WITH ERIK FLEMING!

On Monday, February 19, podcaster Erik Fleming dropped his best episode yet. It's dedicated to activism, and all the ways we can make a huge difference by banding together and working for the change we want to see. And to prove his point, Erik interviewed our own fearless leader Jason Berlin!!!

Click HERE to check it out. Jason's the third interview of the podcast, and the conversation between these two powerhouses of activism is riveting. Tune in to get fired up not only by Jason's enthusiasm, but by his clear evidence that the best way to flip elections is to do exactly what Field Team 6 does best: partisan voter registration. The numbers back it up; you'll hear Jason give hard evidence that what we do works, and one of the main reasons it works is because of volunteers like all of you.

This is a podcast you won't want to miss, and one you'll want to share far and wide so we can spread the word about the Field Team 6 mission, as simple as it is strong: Register Democrats. Save the World.

TODAY, FEBRUARY 22: BYOP TEXTBANKING BOOTCAMP!

BYOP stands for Bring Your Own Phone... which, sure, you're welcome to do, but at BYOP Textbanking Bootcamp, you'll learn to use your desktop or laptop computer to send free texts to potential Democrat voters, so you can get them registered!

It's a super cool process: you use an anonymized Google Voice number or Apple’s iMessage app, and you use it for free texting. It's a really simple way to make a huge difference, and it's especially fun if you learn with people you enjoy... like the gang at Field Team 6!

Sign up HERE to join us on Thursday, February 22 at 3p PT/6p ET. We'll train up the first-timers, then everyone can hang together and enjoy camaraderie and convos as you text. And once you're trained, you can absolutely still come text with us whenever you want (we love to see you!), but you can also click HERE and send more texts anytime between 9a-9p in the timezone you’re texting! It's the most convenient way to make the kind of difference we'll need in 2024, so come BYOP with us -- we can't wait to see you on the zoom!

WHAT DO WE WANT? ELECTION STRATEGY!

WHEN DO WE WANT IT? TODAY, FEBRUARY 22!

It might seem like we're a long way from the 2024 elections, but there are actually only seven months before voter registration deadlines start to hit! That's less time than it takes to watch Oppenheimer! (Okay, maybe that's just how it feels, but still!)

With so little time before registration deadlines for the biggest election of our lives, you might start to wonder... can we flip the House? Can we really hold the Senate? And is there truly a way to assure we keep Biden in the White House and kick Trump to the curb for the final time?

Answer Key: Yes, Yes, and OH HELL YES!!!

At our 2024 Strategy Briefing, we'll reveal groundbreaking metrics on what all our volunteers and donors achieved in the 2022 cycle, and how it has defined a new model of success. Then we'll lay out the path to a decisive, historic victory in 2024. Spoiler Alert: it's gonna take some help from you, but Double Spoiler Alert: it'll be so, so, satisfying when your efforts literally save the world!

So please join us today, Thursday, February 22 at 5p PT/8p ET. Sign up HERE, and prepare to get amply amped and supremely stoked for everything we can accomplish together! See you there!

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 27:

WE'RE GONNA FLIP CA-27!

CA-27 has a majority of Biden voters, but in 2020 managed to elect extreme MAGA Republican Rep. Mike Garcia. The good news is that all we need to swing this battleground district are some newly registered Democrats, and a little help from you!

With that goal in mind, we've partnered with Indivisible Antelope Valley, Antelope Valley Democrats for Change, the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, and the California Democratic Party. Together we're registering new Democratic voters at Antelope Valley College. We'll chat with the students, get them registered to vote, and get them hyped to help us restore our House majority in 2024. Wanna lend a hand? We'd love to have you! Sign up HERE to join us Tuesday, February 27 at 12:30p PT at Antelope Valley College in Lancaster. Together we'll take back CA-27!

THURSDAY, MARCH 14:

REGISTER DEMOCRATS SUMMIT 2024 – PART DEUX!

A long time ago (or... last year), in a zoom room far, far away (or... on your nearby desktop computer), we launched the Register Democrats Summit: a day-long virtual mega-event to help us defeat the MAGA margins.

And since it was a blockbuster success, we're doing it again!

The Register Democrats Summit 2024 will be jam-packed with staggering awesomeness: riveting panels, big-name speakers including top candidates and major organizers, and inspiring FT6 partners. As the date gets closer we'll release a list of confirmed speakers and a schedule of events for the day, but we'll keep releasing teasers here, including the names of our confirmed keynote speakers: Jess Craven (Chop Wood, Carry Water), Robert Hubbell (Today's Edition) and Leigh McGowan (Politics Girl)!

In addition, we have some newly confirmed speakers, like comedian Matthew Moore hosting Laugh Yourself Blue - Improv for Activists, candidate Will Rollins who's running for Congress in CA-41, and panelists Hillary Lehr, Ben Resnick, and Leah Bae, who will join Field Team 6 Chief Strategist, Cory Alpert, to speak to the pressing issue of AI, Misinformation, and Threats to Democracy.

It sounds spectacular, right? And it will be, but we still need you! We're looking for volunteers to organize the whole shebang and work behind the scenes on this virtual event. Also, if you're interested in sponsoring or presenting a workshop, speaking up in support of a critical issue related to voter registration, or showcasing your progressive business in Vendorville (our virtual convention hall), please email us HERE.

The Register Democrats Summit 2024 will take place on Thursday, March 14 from 8a - 5p PT/11a - 8p ET. Just like last year, it's free to activists and partner organizations, so sign up HERE. We're so excited to see you there!

MORE VIRAL JASON = MORE DEMOCRATS! HERE’S WHY!

Here's the thing: partisan registration of Democrats is the single most impactful thing we can do to swing elections blue. That's just a fact, and Field Team 6 has the data to back it up, 'cause that's what we do!

But we can do even more of it with more volunteers and more donations, and to get that, we need more visibility! Thankfully, Field Team 6 founder Jason Berlin is on the case! Every day, he sends out super-positive videos that can't help but get people amped and ready to fight for our democracy! His high-octane energy will not only inspire those of us who already believe in Field Team 6, it'll also inspire new people to get involved, which will boost fundraising and recruit more volunteers... which will translate into more newly registered Democrats and more Blue Waves!

Last week one of his posts went viral on Instagram, garnering 537 thousand views!
