Dear John,

We are coming to the end of a historic election season. On the one hand it was long – Trump started campaigning immediately after the midterms two years ago. But on the other hand, Harris didn’t start her campaign until July 21st, just over three months ago. Regardless, the campaign will end in only two days for both Presidential candidates, as well as all of the federal, state, and local candidates around the country.

STATUS OF THE RACES: As a GOTV organization, we are in high gear. We are asking you to spend a little time today, Monday and Tuesday contacting as many pro-democracy voters as possible, by phone, text, or in person, with one of our many partner organizations in The Union Volunteer Action Center. In order to assist you in prioritizing your volunteer hours, we are sharing the swing states for the Electoral College, and the Cook Political Report’s ratings for the House and Senate “Toss Up” races. Of course, you can also help by contacting your circle of friends, family, neighbors, and associates to remind them to vote by Election Day and of the stakes in this election up and down the ballot. These personal out-reaches can also be quite impactful!

Presidential Swing States: There are seven states that are generally considered swing states. The swing states are Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. If you want to contact voters in these states, please use The Union Volunteer Action Center and go to “Highest-Priority Events” at the top. You will likely find an action there – or you can use the site’s filter function to narrow your search by location, date, and/or type of action.

Senate Toss Ups:

The Cook Political Report suggests four “Toss Up” seats:

MICHIGAN: Slotkin (D) v. Rogers (R)
OHIO: Brown (D) v. Moreno (R)
PENNSYLVANIA: Casey (D) v. McCormick (R)
WISCONSIN: Baldwin (D) v. Hovde (R)

“Toss Up” races are the most competitive and either party has a good chance to win. You can see that three out of those four “Toss Up” races are in swing states, and that incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown is in a tight race to keep his seat in Ohio.

Other states with competitive Senate races are ARIZONA, NEVADA (both seats), MONTANA and TEXAS.

House Toss Ups: The Cook Political Report “Competitive Races” chart, below, lists the “Toss Up” House races in the center columns, expanding on either side to include “Lean” and “Likely” races. If you’re interested in a specific race, find an Action for it at The Union Volunteer Action Center or check with a local organization. The House currently consists of 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and 3 Vacancies (2 D’s and 1 R). A House Majority consists of 218 Representatives.

Now that your eyes are glazed over, we know you're ready to reach voters where they are. Join a phone bank and call voters who can actually make a difference in the future of our country! Find one that supports a race from above, or that matters to you. BUT PLEASE, “DO SOMETHING!”!

Our democracy is precious. Unfortunately, we have discovered recently that it is also more vulnerable than we could have ever imagined. So let’s roll up our sleeves, get to work, and bring this one home. We have the power to do this. Together, we can do this. Together, we WILL do this. Thank you for all you do!

It takes ALL of us!
