Dear John,

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, and New York — 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 — 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: Mondays & Tuesdays; multiple times available 

- Red2Blue Judicial Phone Banks: 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: Weekdays + Weekends; multiple times available 

- One-Click Text Banks: Saturdays & Sundays, 12-3pm EDT

- NJ Residents or neighboring states: Knock on Doors in Jersey!

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 -  Tuesdays & Thursdays 

- Commit to Democracy for VA with Swing Blue Alliance! - Mondays & Wednesdays, various times

- VA Residents and Nearby States! See All VA Canvassing Events Here!

✅ Host a meet-up or voter registration drive — Help us grow momentum in your community before Election Day. Reply to this email for more information. 

Also on the radar: key elections taking place this month:

- Connecticut: Early voting for the 2025 general election begins October 20.

- 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 >>

Let’s finish strong,
