John,
Hello!! Like Vice President Kamala Harris said in her recent sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, “We each have those moments in our lives when it’s time to step up.” With 41 days until Election Day, we recognize how historic this moment is and how impactful each of us can be. We understand the assignment, we're working hard, and we're feeling joyful! 🗳️☀️ 📆
Here at Action Network, we are very proud of the tools we created for our progressive movement and for historic campaigns — like our Mobile Messaging tool! Mobile Messaging on Action Network makes it easy to incorporate dual-channel engagement into your mobilization program to help win campaigns and reach supporters where they are.
Learn more about Action Network Mobile Messaging by joining a demo, or sign up to add Mobile Messaging to your existing partnership here.

Check out that beautiful Mobile Messaging call-to-action from the DNC Convention last month!
As a reminder, we recommend that folks who want to get set up on Mobile Messaging for campaign work do so by this Friday, September 27th. This is because it can take a week to get set up with your phone number, and we want you to have at least a month before the election to use this tool! 📱🎯
We are also super excited to celebrate Action Builder's 5th Anniversary 🎂🎉 with our partners and our movement. We built the Action Builder tool together with organizers at the AFL-CIO and People's Action because of our need for an organizing tool that could be customized to a campaign's needs and also emphasized long-term organizing and relationship building.
We're highlighting some of our amazing Action Builder partners and what they are doing in the movement on our blog. You can click here to sign up for a demo of Action Builder, and click here to get started using the tool. Have a question or want to learn about Action Builder partnership packages? Please reply to this email, and I will be happy to connect with you. 🖥️ 📧
We also want to amplify one of our valued partner's upcoming events, "Union Women Get It Done!" On Tuesday, October 1 at 7PM EST, the AFL-CIO is hosting a virtual summit as part of their "Labor Votes" initiative. We're 6.5 million strong, fired up, mobilized, and ready to make history with Kamala Harris! 💪 You can register here. See you there! 🙌
Check out all of our upcoming monthly trainings here. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Action Network YouTube, Action Builder YouTube, and LinkedIn for updates from our partner community and examples of how organizers are using our incredible tools to build power.
Cuando todos participamos, todos ganamos! 🚀
