Dear John,
Only four months. Only 17 weeks. Only 122 days until the most important election of our lifetimes. Trump is flailing badly, but this is no time to get comfortable or complacent. This is the time to buckle down and make sure he and his enablers are taken out in a landslide. Shall we?

Speak Spanish? There are Spanish-speaking phone banks every Tuesday from 4:30-6:30. Your skills are so valuable, and your help would be greatly appreciated!
An absolute treasure trove of phone banking, text banking, postcarding, and letter writing links are available from Grassroots Democrats HQ (thank you Alec B. for the reco!). Mobilize.us is another excellent source, all sorts of options daily. There are also a ton of virtual events at the DNC website (thank you Katherine K!). You can find something available at pretty much any waking hour. Don't just yell at the TV. Reach out to a fellow American.
If you're a letter-writer, check out Vote Forward. They're targeting Democratic-leaning and traditionally under-represented registered voters in swing states who they believe are unlikely to vote. Let's change their minds!
Love writing postcards, and hate Mitch McConnell? (I mean, who doesn't?) The Women Ditch Mitch campaign aims to send postcards to all 2.2 million women in Kentucky. Order 50 or 100. It's time for the turtle to go.
Write postcards with Flip the West to flip AZ, CO, IA, and NC, and defend CA-21, CA-25, and CA-39. They provide addresses and scripts; you provide postage, cards, and love. The trifecta can be ours, folks. Ya gotta believe.
If you'd like to join our weekly Zoom hangout on Sunday at 2, the link is here.
Have any other leads? Ideas? Questions? Drop me a line.
Lastly: the costs of keeping this group afloat run about $150 a month, and I am COVID-unemployed. If you can help at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm on Cash App, Paypal, and Zelle as [email protected]. And to everyone who has helped out-- thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Shannon
