It’s starting, John.
Our very first Text Back Tuesday voter contact event is this Tuesday, August 11 and we need your help to make sure women across the country are ready to vote on November 3rd.
It may feel like the election is still a ways away, but it’s not, John. Most people don’t know this – but in past elections, GOTV has fallen short because voter contact programs started too late. We’re not making the same mistake. That’s why we were starting early. But to stay on track to defeat Trump, we need to get going now.
Last week, we shared our plan to reach as many women voters as possible in the last 100 days of the election in order to defeat Trump. Women can and must decide the outcome of this election, but that’s only possible if we’re strategic and organized.
Women’s March and our sister organization, Women’s March Action, are working together to recruit and organize women and allies to talk to women voters every week until the election. All you need is a computer or tablet. We’ll train you on how to use our peer-to-peer texting tool and provide support, jokes, and sample scripts.
During the shifts this month, you’ll have the opportunity to text one-on-one with other women in Wisconsin and Michigan to answer their questions and make sure they have what they need to register to vote or request a mail-in ballot. Study after study shows that these types of conversations are the single most important tool we have to increase voter turnout.
These are key states to win, John. Michigan is where Trump won by the smallest margin in 2016. Democrats flipped eight statewide seats in 2018 and it’s one of our best chances to flip a state in 2020. Meanwhile, Trump won Wisconsin by less than one point in 2016, and a Democrat won the governorship by less than one point in 2018 — meaning Wisconsin could be the closest battleground state of all.
Together we can rise up to defeat Trump and build a better future for all of us. We’re doing that not only through these virtual get-out-the-vote gatherings, but also through Women2Women local organizing circles.
Nothing short of an unprecedented, grassroots effort is necessary to make sure we get Trump out of office.
Let’s get to work.
