Pat -- If you’re getting this email, you already know that voting matters. And you know it's not enough for people like us who know the stakes just to vote this November. We have a responsibility to talk to our families, to our friends, and to our neighbors about why it’s so important that they cast their ballots.
So I wanted to make sure you knew about three important opportunities to do just that from three of our Onward Together partner organizations.
I’m going to start with the big ask -- volunteering the last weekend before the election -- and then share two opportunities to help if you have an hour, or just a few minutes to spare from home.
Help in the most critical last weekend: Volunteer for The Last Weekend with Swing Left Studies show that the most effective way to get someone to vote is to talk with them, face-to-face, in the last few days before the election. That's why Swing Left -- together with a grassroots coalition of 60 other progressive organizations -- is asking people like us to commit to volunteer in person in our closest swing district between November 3rd and November 6th. Click the link above to get more information and to commit to volunteering during The Last Weekend.
Help in an hour: Call voters from home with Indivisible Indivisible is phonebanking every single day for their endorsed candidates in between now and Election Day -- and they could use your help. Week after week, Town Hall after Town Hall, the Indivisible movement has been about showing up and it’s never been more important to keep the momentum going. Sign up to phonebank at the link above to talk to voters on your own schedule, an hour at a time, between now and Election Day.
Help in 3 minutes: Crush the Midterms app with The Arena In just a few minutes you can maximize the impact of your time and money by making a plan to Crush the Midterms with a new app from Onward Together partner, The Arena. Answer a few quick questions about your availability, capacity to donate, and location. Then, Crush the Midterms will build a plan for you to help your nearby candidates and will show you how to get your family and friends to create plans of their own.
We can’t take anything for granted, take it from me.
So whether you have a few days, a few hours, or just a few minutes to give, pick a way to get involved between now and November. If everyone on this big-hearted team signed up to spend just an hour or two talking to voters, we could reach millions of people before the most consequential midterm elections of our lifetimes.
Onward, Hillary |
