Actions You Can Take Today
Action 1: Michigan Monday Phone Bank - lineup change!
Action 2: Tuesday Phone Bank for Lauren Underwood
Action 1: Michigan Monday Phone Bank
Sign up to phone bank and join the fight for control of Congress and reproductive freedom. The road to control of the U.S. House runs through Michigan in 2022, with 3 of the state’s Congressional races rated toss-ups.
NEW: We’re phone banking for Hillary Scholten, who is running for the 3rd Congressional seat in Grand Rapids, which is now open after Republicans ousted Peter Meijer for his vote to impeach Trump. If we can generate a sufficient volume of calls, the State Party is prepared to invest in the auto-dialer to support all 3 of Michigan’s toss-up Congressional races.
Our calls will also benefit the top of the ticket. Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Attorney General Dana Nessel, and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson all face right-wing, election denying extremist opponents who seek to undermine democracy and basic freedoms.
With an abortion rights measure on the November ballot, Michigan is ground zero in the struggle for reproductive freedom. Come join the fight for these progressive candidates and stand up for women everywhere.
Join the Michigan Monday Phone Bank on Monday, September 19, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM.
Action 2: Tuesday Underwood Phone Bank
We backed Lauren Underwood in her first run for Congress, in 2018, and since then she has been making us proud and impressing her constituents. But her district has been redrawn to include many voters who are not familiar with her accomplishments. And the the Rs will be coming after her this fall with all the dark money and name-calling they can muster. Help us get her story out in our weekly phone bank.
Join the next phone bank on Tuesday, September 20, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Action 3: Tuesday Postcard Parties
We're back at Gideon Welles every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 8:00pm, writing postcards to get our voters to the polls in November. Sign up here and join in the fun while saving democracy!
We'll be starting with postcards to voters for the critical IL Supreme Court races before transitioning to some critical Congressional races.
If you can sign up in advance, it helps us let our GW hosts know how many people to expect but last minute walk-ins are always welcome.
Donations are welcome, either monetary or in the form of postcard stamps. We look forward to seeing you there!
Join the next Tuesday postcard party on Tuesday, September 20, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM at Gideon Welles (4500 N Lincoln Ave).
