John,
MAGA Election Deniers parroting Trump’s Big Lie are running for key offices in 27 states, aiming for a takeover of our nation’s electoral process. In Arizona, the Cuckoo Caucus is led by Krazy Kari Lake and Blake Masters (see list below).
At the same time, there is an unmistakably coordinated effort by Trump loyalists across the country to swamp elections offices and paralyze preparations for the 2022 vote – including voter registrations, absentee voting, and logistics for Election Day itself. And the scariest thing of all? They have a very real chance to succeed!

AZ Cuckoo Caucus
Kari Lake, Blake Masters, Mark Finchem, Abe Hamadeh
Paul Gosar, Debbie Lesko, Andy Biggs
Early voting in Arizona starts October 12th. In 2020, nearly 90% of Arizona voters cast their ballots during the early voting period, so this race could be decided before Election Day even begins. We can’t afford to wait until November to ramp up our voter outreach – most will have already voted by then.
What Can I Do to Help Arizona? Below you will find pointers to some meaningful actions with organizations in need of dedicated, democracy-loving volunteers like you — NOW.

Other Actions This Week in Arizona
NextGen Social Media Organizing: National Voter Registration Day ([link removed])
Tues, Sept 20 @ multiple times
Young voters make up the largest voting bloc in the country, but face unique challenges when it comes to registering to vote. When we cast our ballots, we’re building a government that works for us, and getting young people registered is the first step. Join the NextGen team as they engage in digital tactics like link dropping, content creation, and more to get young voters in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona registered to vote. New to social media organizing? No worries! They’ll walk through all of the tactics and provide you with a toolkit for continued learning.
