Arena Community,

The final four days before Election Day are a critical time for talking to voters, especially those who need a little extra nudge to get to the polls. In a midterm year, when turnout is typically about half that of a presidential election, this is especially the case.

That’s why Arena is partnering with Swing Left for The Last Weekend, a coalition effort to mobilize volunteers and voters in support of pro-democracy candidates in the most competitive races across the country. To prepare, we’re hosting a free, virtual GOTV training on October 6 at 8:00 p.m. ET to give you the skills you need to connect with voters and get them to the polls. 

Will you commit to the Arena and Swing Left GOTV training on October 6?

With a radical GOP laser-focused on stripping away rights and setting us back by decades, we must do everything we can to protect our hard-fought House and Senate majorities and build Democratic power at the state and local levels. In the most competitive races, every vote matters—it all comes down to turnout. Taking the time to knock on doors and call voters could mean the difference between a win or a loss. Whether you have two hours or 20 hours, your time contacting voters can make all the difference.

Can we count on you to join the Arena and Swing Left GOTV training on October 6?

If you can't make it on October 6th, there are still opportunities to join us on November 5-8 as a volunteer for The Last Weekend. Sign up as a Last Weekend volunteer to protect our hard-won victories and keep making progress towards a more just and inclusive future.

Thank you for being a part of this work. I’ll see you in the Arena!
