The midterm election is coming in 55 days. All over this glorious country, candidates we support are talking about the issues that matter to us all. While the Republicans are hiding their actions and telling tall tales.
Let us put our energy into writing postcards, knocking on doors, sending texts, and making phone calls. And see that blue wave grow!
We must Resist. Rally. March. Call. Write. Act. And VOTE!
ACTIONS
Don’t forget to use our scripts and call our own Senators, Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein to talk about the Kavanaugh appointment. Your voice makes a big difference..
We have less than 2 months to make an amazing impact on the House and Senate races.
We can do that by contacting voters: writing postcards, sending texts and emails, making phone calls, and knocking on doors.
Get started by reading Indivisible’s brand-new Guide for Winning Elections! This voter contact guide is your one-stop-shop for planning all of your electoral work. Check it out here and share with your friends and colleagues.
Here’s a sample of the many opportunities to be involved:
