John, it’s here.
Voting has already started in 9 states.
North Carolina and North Dakota have sent ballots to voters. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Minnesota, Wyoming, Virginia, Vermont, and South Dakota all
start in-person early voting this weekend.
In order to defeat Trump, flip the Senate and win critical local elections
nationwide, we must mobilize to get out to vote. But that isn’t going to
be easy, because Trump and his Republican allies have ramped up every
single voter suppression tactic they can think of to try and keep our
voters home.
That’s where you come in.
[ [link removed] ]This weekend we will Text Out The Vote prioritizing electoral college
battlegrounds and districts with competitive Senate, House, or state
legislative targets and a high density of New American Majority voters.
That’s the Black, brown, and white progressives voters we need to get out
the vote to win. Sign up to text voters now!

What voters are we talking to?
* Voters of color between the ages of 18-55 and who have not voted in at
least one of the last four elections.
* White voters identified using layered demographic information and
direct in-district knowledge to mobilize high-potential progressives
who have not voted in at least one of the last four elections.
What are we mobilizing voters to do?
Working with our partners -- Black Male Voter Project, She the People, and
VoteAmerica -- we'll drive over 5 million direct voter contacts with this
super-targeted pool of high-impact voters, ensuring that in the midst of
2020 chaos, and ever-changing state guidelines, dates, and regulations,
they have what they need to successfully:
* Apply to vote by mail
* Update their registration
* Find their early vote locations and vote early
* Vote for candidates fighting for racial and economic justice
* Vote early or on Election Day
[ [link removed] ]Contacting 5 million voters is not a small goal and deadlines are fast
approaching. We need you to carve out 2 hours (or more) of your time this
weekend to Text Out The Vote. Please RSVP immediately.
Can’t volunteer this weekend? [ [link removed] ]We depend on you to fund this critical
work. Please contribute $10 to fuel the campaign.
By the way, whoever said that texting from home has to be lonely?
Definitely not us.
Each shift starts with a Zoom training lead by one of our experts. You’ll
learn how to sign in, get the info you need, and start texting right
away... but you’ll never need to leave the zoom call.
Instead, dozens of DFA members will text voters together in a virtual
phone bank on Zoom that allows us all to stay together. We’ll use the chat
to answer questions, have fun and build community while we all do the
critically important work needed to win this election
So what do you say? Can we count on you this weekend? I hope so.
[ [link removed] ]There are voters out there waiting to hear from you before they’ll
decide to vote, so RSVP right now and let’s Text Out The Vote together.
Thank you for everything you’re doing to win.
