ONE VOTE COULD WIN IT ALL
Still text banking and social storming. Plus, how to cure a ballot, and get more friends to register and vote.
In 2016, Trump won the Electoral College by 77,000 votes.
In 2020, Biden won it by 43,000 votes.
In 2024, the survival of our nation could come down to a single person’s vote in a swing state.
What a beautiful, terrifying paradox – that at the exact moment fascism is posing the greatest danger to our individual freedoms, the freedom of the individual is the only thing that can save us!
Who is this one person who can save our democracy?
Maybe it’s a big-hearted person who possibly has a young kid and a tough job and a side gig to make ends meet, and hasn’t thought about the election that much. What is this person’s name? What swing state are they in? What issues can get them to register AND vote? Do they answer calls from people they don’t know? Do they check their texts or emails? Do they read postcards, or talk to a smiling woman with a clipboard?
Field Team 6 has mounted a national search-and-rescue operation for this person, behind enemy lines, in every swing state. We will not stop until close of polls on Election Day. And we need your help using every form of outreach – every type of message – in every swing state – until we find them!
(And millions like them.) We have only 12 days to complete this search!! VOLUNTEER. DONATE. Let’s save our democracy – save our planet – and save the individual freedoms of every single American!
– Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6
Here are a couple things (among the many, many options) to do coming up this next week and beyond:
#1 - Saturday, October 26th at 11a PT/2p ET. STILL MORE MASSIVE SWING STATE TEXTBANKING! Come join us as we text hordes of unregistered likely Democratic voters in every swing state we still can. Sign up HERE!
Can't make the text bank? You can still donate HERE to help us fund the effort. It costs us $40,000 to send 1 million texts (and keep it free for all volunteers), and we'll do it every week that our budget allows. (If you donate by Zelle, you can donate without paying fees that don’t make it to FT6).
#2 – Thursday, October 31st, at 11:00 a PT/ 2:00 p ET. Be a 15-minute activist with some MULTI-PLATFORM SOCIAL STORMIN' TRAININ'! On your phone too much? Who isn’t? So we’ve made it super-easy to transform this guilty pleasure into a bold act of political defiance and throw some Field Team 6 posts into your social feeds! Pick your platform — FB, IG, TT, TW or Threads — and become a 15-minute activist! So stop the doom-scrollin' and start the Trump-trollin', and sign up HERE.
Bonus volunteer opportunity: GO BALLOT CURING! Tons of absentee ballots and applications for absentee ballots end up rejected due to minor errors. But you can help save the day, literally! If you sign up for one of the ballot curing events for these mega-super-uber-crucial battleground states you can help blue voters understand and address the problem on their ballot (like a missing signature or date), so their votes will be counted. This is really important work, and we need all hands on deck. Sign up HERE.
Bonus save-the-world app: GO DO THE SWIPEBLUE! People are ridiculously more likely to register and vote when a friend asks them to. SwipeBlue turns you into a mega-influencer among your friend group! It's a free app that matches your friends to the voter file to show you who's registered – and who's not. Then the app helps you easily send a pre-written (but customizable!) message to your friends to encourage them to register, vote, or take other important actions. There’s no hidden contact storage or sharing — and it’s fun!. Go HERE to download the app and start swipin’!
Don’t forget the other ultra-important race going on: Yankees/Dodgers! Wanna get away from political news for just wee bit? Take a look at what the pundits are saying about the state of the (baseball) race HERE, HERE, and HERE!
