For the good of our nation, now is the time for you to put in the hours needed to produce an election outcome to save our democracy. Don’t know what you can do to help political campaigns in the midst of a pandemic? Daily Kos staffer Jen Hayden has announced our new GOTV page that provides all kinds of options for you:
This is an all hands on deck situation and you can make the difference, even from the comfort of your couch or dining room table. The Daily Kos activism and tech teams, along with partners like MoveOn and Vote Forward, have collaborated to create this Get Out The Vote toolkit where you can see all options available to reach voters and help bring this national nightmare to an end. Keep that link handy for reference in the final days of this campaign season, but take a look at all the options below and see if there are areas you can lend a hand. If phone-banking isn’t your strong suit, consider writing letters to voters. No effort is too small. Every single action counts and every single vote counts. So, let’s get to it.
Chris Bowers, Daily Kos Executive Campaign Director, reports that Daily Kos volunteers have adopted more than one million voters as part of our partnership with Vote Forward.
- Studies show that voters who receive simple, handwritten messages reminding them to vote are 1-3% more likely to vote than those who don't.
- Our friends at Vote Forward have identified 10 million swing state voters who lean Democratic, but who don't vote in every election. If all of the letters can be written and sent, that could mean up to 100,000 to 300,000 extra votes for Joe Biden in swing states—more than enough to win the election.
- Daily Kos has been working hard to recruit volunteers to write letters, with great success. More than 40,000 Daily Kos volunteers have participated in 2020 so far, and last week they adopted their one millionth voter!
Many of you are already working on the actions linked here and here. If you haven’t chosen a way to contribute, please pick one you can work on! Donating money to boost our activism team’s work helps as well. If you can't afford to contribute—or if you have already contributed and are looking for other ways to build victories—you can sign up to volunteer by clicking right here.
Over the past 18 years, the Daily Kos community has excelled at inspiring others to contribute their time, energy, and resources. Please tell us in the comments what you are doing and what organization you’re working with. Phonebanking? Textbanking? Pamphletting? Writing letters or postcards? Photos and video receive extra credit. We'd like to share your work on social media to inspire others to action. Feel free to write your own post and be sure to use the hashtag: #GOTVchallenge. Between now and Nov. 3 we must rally together to increase voter turnout to put Biden/Harris in the White House by an overwhelming and incontrovertible majority, overturn the Republican majority in the Senate, expand the Democratic majority in the House, and elect Democrats in down-ballot races, including state legislatures.
Go Daily Kos Community! We got this! Show us a photo of the stacks of letters you’ll be sending out in October! Tell us what you’re doing in the comments!
