WE ARE BACK
Strategy briefing recap! Make Bluesky yours! Help turn North Carolina blue!
Evil doesn’t sleep, and neither does Field Team 6.
Despite fires in California, despite snow in Louisiana, despite an orange white supremacist attacking our Constitution on day one…. With almost supernatural resolution, standing in total defiance of the absolute deluge of bad news…. Through our own tears and swearing and gritted teeth…. we are BACK.
800 people showed up to last night’s Strategy Briefing ready to take concrete, positive action – register Democrats – and win elections from this year through 2028 and beyond. (Couldn’t make the strategy briefing? Watch the recap here!)
Here’s the plan for 2026: Paint the House Blue. Prime the Senate.
If we flip the House, and net at least one new Blue seat in the Senate, that sets us up to hit our 2028 goal: a BLUE TRIFECTA. The House, Senate, and White House. Fascism defeated. Democracy saved. That is where we set our sights.
And for those who can volunteer and donate, there’s no time to lose.
We use every part of the buffalo. We use every day to turn our dreams into reality.
And there are 7 critical elections we need to win this year, starting with the Wisconsin Supreme Court in April.
So sign up below for a postcard party – a free BYOP text training – a text arcade – a social storm – an in-person voter drive training – and soon, phonebanks, too! And if you can, please donate HERE to fuel this incredibly effective, election-winning work! Every dollar delivers a new voter and every $8.58 delivers a net new vote. That is the best bargain in politics.
And remind yourself that we are activists.
We don’t just watch news… We MAKE news.
– Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6

2025? No such thing as an off-year. Here are just two of the ways you can help make an impact sooner, rather than later:
#1: Bluesky shinin’ on me. Sign up for our Blueskysocial storming trainings on Wednesday, January 29. We’re moving from the Tweetiverse to bluer skies! In just a few months on Bluesky we have doubled the followers we had on that old cesspool after years of work.
Do you use Bluesky on the daily? Are you just Bluesky-curious? Whatever your familiarity, we can help you make the most of the platform, so you can use it to build awareness of Field Team 6 and our partisan voter registration efforts! We use it to recruit volunteers and donors, and it works!
Beginners: click HERE to register for a training Wednesday, January 29 from 11a-12p PT/2p-3p ET
Advanced: click HERE to register for a training Wednesday, January 29 from 3p-4p PT/6p-7p ET
But no matter where you start, by the time you finish your training, you'll be ready to take your Bluesky game... well... Bluesky-High!
#2: Text Arcade for North Carolina — Tuesday, Feb. 4, 3p PT / 6p ET. North Carolina just might be the most important state for the next four years in the battle against fascism. With a mayoral election in Charlotte this year, a Senate seat up for grabs next year, and another Senate seat up in 2028, it's all hands on-deck to get new blue voters registered in the Tarheel State.
The text arcade is a little different than a regular textbank. For just 25 bucks (half what it actually costs; donors cover the rest) you get to fire off 1,400 texts and register as many Democrats as possible. Sign up HERE.
Yes, it may be a struggle right now to be optimistic. So here are a couple posts to help with that struggle:
Jessica Craven’s “Chop Wood Carry Water” substack entry the day after inauguration: Breath. Act. Rest. Repeat.
Five reasons for progressives to be optimistic in 2025. Rob Schofield’s commentary for NC Newsline goes beyond just North Carolina.
I'm all set, waiting for my postcards. There is a governor's race in WI. Do you know if we'll be writing for Jocelyn Benson? She's the current Sec. of State in WI and has done a great job in that office.
