I came across a fabulous resource with a long list of opportunities for helping over the next 13 days and beyond. I found it under the Comments section on Robert Reich’s October 23rd Substack newsletter where one of his readers posted:
Uncle Sam needs us now: https://www.mobilize.us
This platform shares up-to-date information about ways to get involved, and even shows you upcoming in-person events closest to you. I strongly encourage you to check it out.
Also, a correction and an apology: I didn’t include the correct links under Markers for Democracy in my Monday, October 21 post. The list referred to their slack channel not links. Here is the correct information:
Postcard Campaigns: write postcards to notify voters about special elections, vote-by-mail deadlines, early voting, Democratic candidates running in close elections, and voter registration drives in regions of high voter suppression. See lists of upcoming postcard-writing Zoom events here and here.
Sign up to canvas, phonebank, or textbank: check out this Google doc with tons of way you can get involved in the homestretch.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Many states and organizations are still placing volunteers as of today - it’s not too late!
