In just five months, voters will head to the polls in the first presidential election since Roe v. Wade was gutted. It will be the first presidential election since Republicans won control of the U.S. House and filled the chamber with chaos, political vindictiveness, in-fighting, and general ineptitude. It’s the first presidential election since Donald Trump tried to steal the previous election and incited a deadly riot at the Capitol. It’s the first presidential election since Trump, the GOP frontrunner, was convicted of 34 felonies related to election fraud.
While every election may feel more important to the long-term stability of our democracy than the last, we know this one is momentous. And, we know how to win.
There are millions of first time voters, undecided voters, and sporadic voters who may need an extra nudge to vote this year, and as grassroots organizers we can reach them in these critical final months and help them make a plan to get to the polls. Together, we can turn out Democratic voters and secure electoral victories where and when it counts. It’s what this community has been doing successfully for years.
Organizing and mobilizing is difficult at the best of times. Please take a moment to breathe, go for a walk, and clear your mind for the work ahead—because we need you in this fight, there.
When you’re ready, below are high-impact ways you can help defeat Trump and MAGA extremism and help Democrats secure a federal trifecta and protect the future of abortion access, affordable health care, voting rights, gun violence prevention, climate progress, and so much more. We hope you’ll join us.
Let’s win this together!

Boost voter turnout with Vote Forward
|
|
Vote Forward letters reach potential voters who might need that extra nudge to get to the polls, and that extra surge of voter turnout could make all the difference in November. You can write letters during your lunch break, at a park, in front of the TV, at a beer garden with friends, during your summer vacation, or at a letter writing party with fellow Swing Left volunteers! Visit votefwd.org/swingleft to get started. |

Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Curtis Hertel in MI-07, Laura Gillen in NY-04, Janelle Bynum in OR-05, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in WA-03, Josh Stein’s campaign for the North Carolina governorship, the Michigan State Fund to help Democrats hold the Michigan State House, and Swing Left. |

Talk to voters in your community
|
|
Among last year’s major victories in Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin, we heard a common theme from our volunteers: the face-to-face conversations they had while canvassing were working! Door by door, grassroots organizing turned potential voters who were sometimes not even aware of the upcoming election into educated, eager voters ready to get to the polls. To make an impact on this year’s elections, find a canvass that works for you. Not able to go door to door? Join a phone bank. |
|
If you or someone you know is new to volunteering or just needs a refresher, we’re currently offering volunteer orientations every other week. Our team will cover everything you need to know to get started organizing to help Democrats win in 2024. It's virtual, so you can join from anywhere.
