Hello beautiful human!
Hope you slept well, enjoyed your morning cuppa, and are facing the day with optimism and a smile. We will do this.
You know what else makes me smile? The thought of this man taking a U.S. Senate seat from a Republican. Yesssss.
It's primary day in AZ! You can phone bank from home to GOTV from 12-2 or 4-6 today. Let's get those Arizonans off the couch and excited about VOTING and flipping AZ BLUE.
(Okay, one more, because I just can't with these two.)
Of course thanks to our friends at Democracy Action we've also got a regular old Tuesdays with Biden Phone Bank from 5:30-8. Because he's decent. Remember when presidents were decent? Let's get back there.
¿Hablas español? Usted es un hot hot commodity! There is a weekly phone bank for Spanish speakers tonight from 4:30-6:30. They could really use your help. Also if you know anyone who speaks Spanish and might be willing to reach out to our Latinx neighbors, please forward the link! ¡Gracias!
I don't have any grandchildren, but am considering renting some for this weekly event. The Grandparents for Democracy Postcarding Party. I mean, grandparents deserve to be furious right now. Mess with health care, threaten Social Security, and now I can't travel OR hug my GRANDKIDS? Oh hell no. Dude's gotta go. 4-6 this evening and every Tuesday.
Resistance Labs was my first texting love. They are doing a TON of texting campaigns right now, many of them involving the 2020 Census, which we know is especially crucial in COVID times. Highly recommend. *Hot tip, though...the current campaigns don't appear on the website, for some reason. Get signed up, get on their Slack, and there are an absolute treasure trove of things in the announcements to text for.
Know what our Republican counterparts are up to today? You can bet they're working hard. But you know what? We can do that too. As Pelosi says, "you have to know your why." I think we do.
Go get 'em.
Best regards,
Stand Up San Francisco
