Flip the West is holding a Day of Action on October 4th to do a push to try and flip specific Senate seats to ensure that we have a Democratic Senate. If you're interested in doing outreach to vulnerable Senate seats across the country, this is the perfect phonebanking opportunity for you.

Another organization targeting key national states is Swing Left. They have a ton of resources and information about the races and candidates they're targeting. And when you've read through all of that and how important each race is, sign up for a shift!

"I want to help but I hate talking to people." No worries, we got you covered. OpenProgress is holding a bunch of textbanks where you can do outreach without having to actually talk to people. Technically, you don't even use a phone - this campaign works entirely from a web-browser-based platform.

The Young Democrats of America and the Women's March Action Campaign are teaming up to text 18-35 year old voters in the key battleground states to make sure that these often uncontacted voters make a plan to vote and turn in their ballots!

"I want to help but I hate talking to people." I hear you. People suck. But there're still opportunities for you! Vote Forward lets you do contact-less outreach by writing letters to voters and encouraging them to vote. You will need your own envelopes and stamps.
