Hello Friend, 

Tonight is Round 6 of the Democratic Party’s presidential debates (the first post-impeachment, and the last of 2019), and we are here to remind you to watch and engage.

Where and when can I watch?

The debate will air on PBS and CNN, and will be live-streamed on pbs.org, politico.com, and cnn.com. It will run from 8pm-11pm ET.

Which candidates made the debate stage?

We are down to seven (but we are not complaining — fewer perspectives but at least some room to actually debate instead of bouncing from one random person to another).

Who’s moderating?

The debate will be moderated by PBS NewsHour anchor Judy Woodruff, PBS senior national correspondent Amna Nawaz, PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, and Politico’s chief political correspondent Tim Alberta.

Who is standing where? 

Where the candidates stand on stage has been determined by polling averages, so front-runners Biden and Warren will be center stage. The overall order from left to right is: Booker, Gabbard, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Biden, Warren, Sanders, Harris, Yang, and Steyer.

Where do the candidates stand on the issues?

To make sure we find and interact with Arab Americans engaging on social media, please use #YallaVote. We also encourage you to use issue-specific hashtags like #RefugeesWelcome for the border crisis, #PalestineIs for Israel/Palestine-related discussions, #NoMuslimBanEver for Trump’s Muslim ban, #NoWarWithIran for (you guessed it) war with Iran, #2020Census for the census, and #FairMaps for anti-gerrymandering efforts.

Let's make sure the candidates know: We are watching and preparing to #YallaVote!
