Action 2: Tell Your Friends to Vote with SwipeBlue
SwipeBlue turns our smartphone contact lists into a powerful tool to make sure all our Democratic friends vote. It's fun and easy to use, like Tinder for GOTV. There is no training needed because you'll understand it instinctively. And it keeps your contacts confidential—although you can opt to get a report in early 2023 of whether the folks you texted turned out to vote.
SwipeBlue is also incredibly powerful: a 2020 study found friend-to-friend texting is 29 times more effective than cold texting and 10 times more effective than social pressure mail.
The app matches your phone's contact list to the voter file to identify Democratic friends—specifically listing those eligible to vote in key races. You’ll "swipe" those Democratic friends to send a personalized text encouraging them to vote.
Use this Indivisible Chicago Alliance link to download the app. Answer a few quick questions, then Swipe Blue will help you reach out to your contacts. The app will filter your list then you decide who gets your text AND you can customize each individual message before it is sent to say exactly what you want.
