We hear a lot about the stakes of the Presidential election, but state legislators hold the power to protect or take away our reproductive freedom.

Since 2022, Republican legislatures in 21 states have passed abortion bans.  These bans have had tragic effects on women's health and have worsened the infant mortality rate.  In findings published last week in JAMA Pediatrics, researchers said hundreds more babies died than expected in the 1.5 years since SCOTUS ended the constitutional right to abortion. 

We CANNOT let that continue.  In this election, we must fight to protect our freedoms by voting for Democrats who share our values all the way down the ticket!

It's not too late for you to help!

Join our phonebanks!

We have many, many voters to mobilize!  Help us make calls to voters in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. It's online, it's easy, and training is a breeze!

Sign up today to join our last phonebanks before the election -- Wednesday, Oct. 30, and Monday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 pm.

And don't miss a special phonebank session on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 4 pm, when the DC and NYC chapters combine forces for an open-house calling session! All are welcome and no experience is necessary. Bring your friends and help us get out the vote. And we might even get a special guest appearance!

I want to phonebank!

Help voters cast votes!

• Get trained to answer voters' questions (where do I vote? how do I request a mail-in ballot?), and take shifts on a National Voter Assistance Hotline: Voter Assistance Hotline Interest Form.
• Get trained to help voters "cure" their ballots if they have been rejected by the County Clerk. These are rewarding calls to make, as voters urgently want their ballots to count. DNC Cure Team Hotline.
• Check your own voting situation, especially if you're in a swing state experiencing voter roll purges.  Are you still registered? Where, when, and how can you vote? Vote.org’s Everything You Need to Vote has that info.
• Consider being a poll worker to help us have safe, efficient, and fair elections. You will be trained, and sometimes paid, and can be proud of your service. Powerthepolls Staff Your Local Polling Place helps you volunteer.     

Fuel the People Working for Democracy!

If you would like to donate food to help volunteers, poll workers, and campaign staff keep going through Election Day, a DC volunteer has offered to transport items to the local Democratic offices in Anna Thomas country -- Northampton-Lehigh County, PA. Please only bring items that do not need refrigeration, and no water bottles or soda cans; they are too heavy for our volunteer to manage on the day they will be transported. Text Krishni at 202-681-7608 to make arrangements and before buying items. Food will go to Democrats working and volunteering before and on election day.

Join the PA Dems Voter Protection Team!

Pennsylvania needs help with its Voter Protection efforts! Help make sure that every voter’s voice is heard this November. For example, you can assist voters who need help on election day or be present to ensure the vote counts match. You do not need to be a Pennsylvania resident to help. There are in-person and remote opportunities to empower voters with the tools and information they need to cast their ballots and to have those ballots counted.  

Sign up here!

Finally, don't forget to vote all the way down the ballot and make sure your friends vote!

Your voice is your vote!
