Ways we can help get out the vote
HELP FLIP THE HOUSE THROUGH OUTREACH TO MODERATE WOMEN
Three groups are working on a few key races in California that could flip the House from red to blue. Airlift provides funds to local groups across the country that engage in outreach at the grassroots level within their communities. They are working with Galvanize Action and Communities for a New California to especially reach out to women on the issues of reproductive rights in California’s Central Valley, where there is a strong chance that three seats can be flipped. Let’s find out more about these organizations and sign up here for a call tomorrow, Thursday October 17, on how to get more involved.
PHONE BANK TO RE-ELECT SEN. SHERROD BROWN
It is imperative that we keep the Senate. Sen. Sherrod Brown (OH) is one of our most effective and beloved senators. He is in a tough race against his GOP opponent. We can join the Ohio Democrats on Zoom to call voters for Sen. Sherrod Brown and the Democratic ticket. Times are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 4 PM – 6 PM ET and 7 PM – 9 PM ET.  We can sign up here.
LET’S VOTE FOR CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT GUN SAFETY
The anti-gun violence organization Everytown for Gun Safety has a campaign called Gun Sense Voter that makes it easy for us to look up which candidates on our ballot support gun safety legislation and policies. Let’s use their search tool to find our 2024 gun sense candidates and then vote accordingly.
BALLOTPEDIA’S 2024 VOTER TOOLKIT
The nonpartisan voting encyclopedia known as Ballotpedia offers a Voter Toolkit. The toolkit covers all kinds of voting information, from basics like looking up what’s on our ballot and checking our state’s election day polling hours, to geekier stuff, like who is serving as key staff on each presidential campaign. As we make our voting plans, let’s consult Ballotpedia’s Voter Toolkit.
HELP UNDECIDED VOTERS LEARN ABOUT CANDIDATE POSITIONS
We all know people who want to know more about a candidate's position on the issues before they vote. Let's send them to nonpartisan guides.vote for English- and Spanish-language information on federal and high-level state races. The concise explanations of candidates' positions are organized by issues such as the economy, immigration, abortion, taxes, voting rules, and more. Links lead to additional information and sources. The guides are written and edited by journalists and experienced communicators who provide impartial, factual, well-sourced information. Guides are also available as downloadable pdfs. Let’s check it out here.
