Today’s Action: Make phone calls for midterms in key races – training tonight!
We are just eight days away from midterms. Flipping the House and voting in progressive candidates at the state level is our absolute best chance to stop the GOP’s rabid agenda of nationalism, white supremacy, and corporations-first.
But in 2014, only 37% of eligible American voters turned out for midterms. And midterms traditionally favor Republicans, who vote in higher numbers than Democrats in non-presidential years (thanks to a variety of factors, including the GOP voter suppression happening now in Georgia, where nearly 5000 absentee ballots from a predominantly Black county have gone missing.)
If you want to battle Trump, McConnell, Kavanaugh, and others, “just voting” isn’t going to be good enough this midterm cycle…we need more voters to show up on November 6 than ever before.
That’s why the good folks of Indivisible have phonebanking shifts every day of the week between now and November 6, plus a Get Out The Vote training TONIGHT at 8 pm EST, for the most pivotal races across the country…because calling fellow Democrats and reminding them to vote is one of the most effective things we can do to lift turnout.
Phonebanking is easy: you’ll be connected to fellow Democrats who have already expressed interest in the campaign you’re calling on behalf of. Your phone calls are simple encouragement to mark the calendar and the candidate.
Thank you for the work you’ve put in so far. You’ve protested, you’ve called Congress, and you may have texted/phonebanked in the past. Now is the time to lean in like never before.
Don’t wake up on November 6, facing two more years of a GOP Congress and wishing you had done more. Instead, wake up to a #BlueWave victory, proud of your participation!
