Dear John, [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]] [[link removed]]
Earlier this week, Reed reminded us what this moment calls for: urgency, focus, and showing up. We’ve built a national network of 189,000+ volunteers and more than 1 in 5 are actively engaged in outreach, community events, and voter contact.
Between now and Election Day, The Union is sprinting to reach every persuadable voter in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, California [[link removed]] , and New York [[link removed]] — five states where turnout and local organizing will shape the future of our country.
Here’s how you can help right now:
✅ Chip in to fuel the sprint [[link removed]] — Every dollar supports voter contact, local organizing, and on-the-ground volunteers in key states.
✅ Adopt a state — Join a team focused on one of our five key states and take action today:
⚖️ Pennsylvania — Keep the Supreme Court Fair. Vote YES to retain the three Democratic justices — Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, and David Wecht — to block MAGA billionaires from flipping the court before 2028.
Actions:
- Call Voters to Secure PA Supreme Court With Our Partners, Swing Blue Alliance [[link removed]] : Mondays & Tuesdays; multiple times available
- Red2Blue Judicial Phone Banks [[link removed]] : Sundays & Thursdays; multiple times available
New Jersey — Defend Mikie Sherrill. Attacks are flooding the airwaves. We need to reach voters early and secure mail-in ballots now . The numbers are tight, and a simple reminder can shift votes. Plus, 80 Assembly seats are on the ballot. This is the key to local community power.
Actions:
- Let's Land This – Phone Banks: [[link removed]] Weekdays + Weekends; multiple times available
- One-Click Text Banks [[link removed]] : Saturdays & Sundays, 12-3pm EDT
- NJ Residents or neighboring states: Knock on Doors in Jersey! [[link removed]]
Virginia — Win the Trifecta. We can elect Abigail Spanberger for Governor , Ghazala Hashmi for Lt. Governor , and flip the House of Delegates — but only if Virginians show up. Down-ballot races are critical: if Abigail wins but has a Republican Lt. Governor, progress stalls.
All 100 House of Delegates seats are on the ballot this year, and we're focusing especially on HD-41, HD-59, HD-83, HD-98, HD-99, and HD-100.
Actions:
- National Guided Phone Bank - Call Virginia Voters w/ our partner Center for Common Ground [[link removed]] - Tuesdays & Thursdays
- Commit to Democracy for VA with Swing Blue Alliance! [[link removed]] - Mondays & Wednesdays, various times
- VA Residents and Nearby States! See All VA Canvassing Events Here! [[link removed]]

- South Carolina: Special primaries for state-level districts on October 21 .
- Alabama: A special general election for House District 12 on October 28 .
- Florida: A special runoff for Tampa City Council District 5 on October 28 .
Every week brings new opportunities to reach voters and strengthen democracy.
This is how we rebuild democracy — by showing up together and doing the work >> [[link removed]]
