Ways we can help get out the vote
CONVINCING FOLKS AROUND US TO VOTE FOR KAMALA
for ideas on what we can say in those conversations.Â
The most effective voter outreach comes from people we already know and respect - and we're going to be the biggest political influences in many of our personal networks. In these final hours, let's make sure we get through to folks who trust us. The Reach App can help us message our friends and acquaintances who might be undecided about Kamala Harris and have thoughtful conversations that persuade them to vote Dem and help with the campaign. We can learn how to use it in under an hour, and the party has trainings scheduled every hour this afternoon, tomorrow afternoon and even on Election Day. Let's sign up for a training and start putting the Reach App to use here. And let's check out this list of talking points fromTAKING THE FIGHT TO TRUMP TERRITORY
Defeating Trumpism for good won’t be easy, and it will require us to win in places that seem out of reach now. We’re going to have to take Senate seats in deep red states and gain ground in deep red communities to build our majorities and to avoid every election being an existential crisis. This work is already well underway, and we need to do our part! Let’s sign up to phonebank to send Jon Tester and Sherrod Brown back to Washington and join Movement Labs and Contest Every Race to turn out rural Democrats in key battleground states – plenty of times available throughout the next three days!

ACTIVATING THE CLIMATE ACTION VOTE
This election will shape global action on climate change for the next four years - so we need to be sure it’s decided by people who want more global action on climate change. Both the Environmental Voter Project and the Sunrise Movement are aggressively seeking to turn out folks who care about our planet’s future. We can join EVP’s phonebanks to reach low-propensity pro-environment voters here for shifts all day through Tuesday, and call or text young voters with Sunrise.
GOTV (TAYLOR’S VERSION)
Swifties for Kamala and Voters of Tomorrow are joining forces to call and text battleground states while watching the Eras Tour! We are welcome to join in these virtual voter contact sessions, with multiple time slots today. Let’s sign up here, and then join these groups for more texting Monday and Tuesday.Â
POLLER-COASTER GOING FULL SPEED IN IOWA
Most of us saw yesterday’s headline: Ann Selzer, the gold standard of Iowa pollsters and one of the most reliable pollsters in the country, has Vice-President Harris leading Trump 47-44 among likely voters in the state, keyed by gains among independent and older women. This is within the margin of error, but still a big surprise. While it’s important to not attach too much weight to any one individual poll, this is a great opportunity for us to refocus our attention on the multiple competitive House races in Iowa we might be better positioned to win than we assumed. The Hawkeye State is unlikely to decide the White House, but it could be crucial to giving us Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. Christina Bohannan has posted good numbers in her challenge to Republican incumbent Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks in the First District, while Sarah Corkery and Lanon Baccam face taller challenges against House GOPers Ashley Hinson and Zach Nunn in the Second and Third Districts. Let’s sign up to help phonebank for Christina Bohannan here, and put our names on the list to learn of more volunteer opportunities with the Iowa Democrats here.
MAKING THE STAKES OF THIS ELECTION CLEAR ON SOCIAL MEDIA
We can’t let a single voter go to the polls not understanding what’s at stake. The Progress Action Fund has produced a heart-rending video that illustrates the full costs of letting the GOP have their way on abortion - and they’ve found it moves swing-state men away away from Trump by 2.5 points. Our friends at
have made it easy to share this ad. Let’s use their toolkit and post this #MAGAAbortionBan clip on our social media.
