COVID-19 has gripped the world with uncertainty and our own lives feel unrecognizable at the moment. We are in awe of our healthcare workers and first-responders and our heart goes out to those affected every day.
Though our collective rhythm shifts, the political fight must march forward. The effort to elect Democrats up and down the ballot -- who will restore rational, competent governance -- has never felt more urgent. Leadership is sorely needed. To exercise new leadership, Democrats must continue to share a vision for the future. Continue to reach out to voters. Continue to raise money. Continue to campaign.
The tactics we use must shift significantly. In a moment of mandatory social distancing, isolation, and shelter-in-place command, technology is even more critical for campaigns. We are in the midst of a radical natural experiment to prove our long-held thesis that technology can enable offline organizing techniques online. We have no choice but to rely on distributed action and digital communication. While this shift will feel disruptive and uncomfortable, it is crucial for a positive outcome in November.
