Hello John,
First, our thoughts are with our neighbors, friends, and partners affected by the storms and flooding this weekend in the U.S. Southeast. One of our valued partners, the North Carolina Association of Educators' (NCAE) charitable arm, the North Carolina Foundation for Public School Children (NCFPSC), is mobilizing now to support students and school communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. Here are a couple other ways you can help if you're able to chip in:
With the election countdown clock looming and the final end-of-quarter FEC fundraising deadline yesterday, we feel the pressure of the last 30+ days until Election Day, but we are leaving it all on the field. This is a historic election, we are working and ready, and our popcorn is ready for tonight's debate! 🍿
Check out that beautiful Mobile Messaging call-to-action from the Harris/Walz bus!
At Action Builder and Action Network, we are very proud of the tools we created for our progressive movement and for historic campaigns alike. We know how critical connecting with registered voters is so we developed a fantastic 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.
You can learn more about Action Network Mobile Messaging by joining a demo, or sign up to add Mobile Messaging to your existing partnership here. We have extended the deadline because this election is the most important one of our lifetime, but please, reach out to us ASAP to get started.

We are also thrilled to celebrate Action Builder's 5th Anniversary 🎂🎉 with our friends, family and progressive movement. We're using our blog to highlight a couple of our amazing Action Builder partners and what they are doing in our progressive space. Join us on Action Builder! 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? All you have to do is reply to this email. I would love to chat about Action Builder. 📧
If you are free later today, please join us (virtually!) at one of our valued partner's Get Out The Vote events, "Union Women Get It Done!" Tonight, on Tuesday, October 1 at 7PM EST, the AFL-CIO is hosting a virtual summit as part of their "Labor Votes" initiative. We're ready to make history with Kamala Harris. You can register here. I RSVPed and am excited to see you there! 🙌🗳️💻
Finally, as a member of our Partnerships and Marketing team, I have spent the last quarter drafting our weekly email. And as we begin the final quarter of the year, I am passing the virtual baton 🎤 to my teammate, Mariah Brown. Mariah is our amazing Strategic Partnerships Manager and is next to bring you our weekly email. It has been my joy, thank you! 🍂❤️
