Community Action: Phone Bank with Ground Truth
Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth phone bank—designed to fix what’s broken in Democratic organizing. We’re launching an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters over the phone.
Our goal: to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. We're building community one phone call at a time, having real conversations with real people. During Ground Truth phone banks, we will talk to as many people as possible and focus on listening.
At this phone bank, we’ll:
Call ALL types of voters -- not just those who vote like us.
Have real conversations that LISTEN deeply to voters’ concerns.
Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach.
👉 Join the phone banks on Wednesdays and Sundays

Community Action: Hold ICE and CBP Accountable for Lawless Behavior
A broad coalition of organizations, officials, and individuals has filed a petition for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute crimes committed by federal agents during “Operation Midway Blitz.” During the Midway Blitz, masked and heavily armed federal agents were abducting our neighbors and terrorizing – often violently – the people who were witnessing and documenting the agents’ actions. So far, these agents have not been held accountable for their actions.
During a hearing on this petition last week, Judge Reddick repeatedly asked whether any victims of the violence of Operation Midway Blitz had made formal complaints, either to the local police department or via a civilian complaint process (like the Chicago Civilian Office of Police Accountability), or otherwise called for charges against ICE/CBP officers in other ways. To that end, we want to ensure that she has all of the information she needs to make a decision.
👉 We need your help to collect this information.
If you made a complaint, or if you are aware of others who made complaints, please fill out this form to provide the circumstances / location of the incident, approximate date of the complaint, and the entity which was contacted to submit the complaint.
Please send to others whom you know have made complaints as well.
Loevy & Loevy will use this information to provide Judge Reddick with a supplemental filing containing this information before the May 11 hearing.
