With the historic Democratic National Convention in the rearview and a little more than 60 days until Election Day, potential voters are really starting to pay attention now and are making a plan to vote. Let’s do everything we can to talk to more voters, support candidates, and help elect Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Democratic majorities up and down the ballot!

John, here is where we are in the 2024 elections timeline:

September

You are here!

Join the Swing Left National Strategy Update

RSVP for our next strategy call, happening tomorrow at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Join Swing Left Executive Director Yasmin Radjy and special guest U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren for Protect 2025: A conversation about defeating Project 2025 and electing Democrats up and down the ballot.

Continue writing letters to voters

New Vote Forward letter campaigns have launched, so download a new batch of voter contact letters, fill them out, and store them until the mailing window, either immediately (check your campaign dates!) or throughout the month of October.

Attend a volunteer orientation

If you’re new to organizing with Swing Left or just need a refresher, sign up for a short, virtual volunteer orientation to get started. Our volunteer orientations are happening every Wednesday at 8pm ET / 5pm PT now until the election!

Donate to candidates

With only a few state primaries left on the calendar, now is the time to give candidates a financial boost to close funding gaps and defeat their GOP opponents by donating to our Immediate Impact Fund! Updated weekly, this fund is the best combination of competitive, must-win races and races that could most benefit from your financial support right now.

Check your voter registration

Your voice is your vote, and your vote matters! Check your voter registration information to make sure it’s up to date so that you can cast your ballot when the time comes!

Write letters to voters with our friends at Vote Forward

October

Keep organizing!

This is a critical time to take part in a Swing Left and partner-hosted canvass events or phone banks in competitive races and write Vote Forward letters!

Mail your Vote Forward letters

If your campaign did not have an earlier deadline, prepare and mail your Vote Forward letters this month.

Vote early

Early voting is available in many states, so if you’re able, take advantage by voting early in person or by mail.

Secure a federal Democratic trifecta and celebrate!

Together we can elect our first female president, Kamala Harris, protect the Senate majority, flip the U.S. House, build Democratic state-level power, defend our democracy, and celebrate major victories that this community helped to secure—together.

You can support the people, programs, and infrastructure that make year-round organizing to elect Democrats up and down the ballot possible by making a contribution to Swing Left.
