All-Hands on Deck: Help us Staff the Polls!

Virginians are already voting and the Arlington Democrats need your help to make sure we elect our Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. Our local offices--County Board and School Board-- do not have a party identification on the ballot so it is imperative that we provide every voter a blue Democratic Sample ballot when they arrive at the polls. Sign up to be a poll greeter at one of our Early Voting locations and for Election Day to make sure Arlington stays blue!

AYD Phonebank for Dr. Cameron Webb

The race for Virginia's Fifth Congressional District has remained razor-thin this entire election cycle, and it is crucial for Cameron Webb to win. Dr. Webb is a physician at UVA and a former member of the White House Health Care Team in the Obama Administration. Let's elect a Doctor to Congress in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Join us on the 7th at 7!
 

AYD Phonebank for Sara Gideon

In 2021, President Biden will need a Senate Majority to get anything on his platform passed. Sara Gideon will be a crucial part of that majority. In the Maine legislature, Sara Gideon has fought to reign in the greed of insurance companies and help those suffering from the opioid  crisis. She also will not claim to be pro-choice while supporting justices who support ending Roe v. Wade. Let's help elect a pro-choice Democrat in Maine this year! Join us as we make calls to voters throughout the state.
 

 

AYD North Carolina Phonebank

North Carolina has proven to be one of the closest swing states for multiple levels of government in 2020. Both Joe Biden and Cal Cunningham are within the margin of error, and North Carolina Democrats need us to make calls to voters. Let's spread the word about the Democratic ticket and bring the blue wave to our neighbors down south. Join us as we make calls to voters across the state of North Carolina
