Friend,
I’m not going to sugarcoat it: The latest polling shows
that Republicans are gaining ground against Democrats in the Senate
races of 2022.1
Republicans have time to
pick up votes—especially in Georgia and Wisconsin. Despite the scandal
surrounding Herschel Walker and his position on a nationwide abortion
ban, and Ron Johnson’s collusion to support the January 6
riots, these two critical races are
neck-and-neck.2,3
Bend the Arc is
organizing “Jews for a New Senate” to make sure MAGA Republicans like
Walker and Johnson stay out of Congress. Early voting has
already started — join us on the phones this week:
☎️ Phonebank for Mandela
Barnes: Sunday, Oct. 23 at 4:45pm ET / 2:45pm PT
Join from anywhere
☎️ Phonebank for Sen. Rev.
Raphael Warnock: Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 5:15pm ET / 2:15pm
PT
Join from anywhere
You’ll find
more dates on the calendar here.
Keeping — and expanding — Democratic control of the Senate
really matters.
A new, more powerful Senate could end the Jim Crow filibuster,
eliminate the Manchin/Sinema veto, protect our freedoms from MAGA
Republicans, approve Biden nominees, stop Mitch McConnell, and more.
But we need your help to get there.
You’ll be in good company with other members of the Bend the
Arc community when you sign up for a shift this Sunday,
October 23 for Mandela Barnes or Tuesday,
October 25 for Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock.
See you soon!
