WORLDS SAVED: 1
BLUE OR PURPLE VOTERS REGISTERED BY 11/22: 2.3M
TOTAL VOTER TOUCHES TO DATE: 27,178,593
| | |
We have 6 months to go and every vote counts.
As we send out postcards to get out the Dem vote, it's worth reflecting on how EVERY SINGLE VOTE LITERALLY COUNTS. For example, your efforts got Democratic Kris Mayes elected state Attorney General of Arizona. She won over her MAGA opponent by 300 votes out of 2.5 million. THREE HUNDRED. That's one-hundredth of one percent.
And we may have forgotten exactly what those precious 300 votes got us.
- After the GOP-dominated Arizona Supreme Court approved enforcement of an antiquated 19th century abortion ban, Mayes announced that she would not allow any criminal charges against patients or their doctors, as permitted by this draconian law.
- On April 24, she indicted 18 Republicans involved in organizing a slate of fake electors attempting to certify that Trump won Arizona in 2020.
Without those 300 votes this would never have happened! We got those 300 votes with every postcard, phone call, text and door we knocked on in Arizona.
Elections matter! Every vote counts! Keep writing postcards! Get your friends and family writing postcards! And tell them about Attorney General Kris Mayes.
And since postcard costs are going up in July, you may want to stock up.
– partner Bob Haar, this week in a missive to his 4000+ postcard writers
ps: FT6 COO, Dale Roy Robinson also received this text from Bob at Noon on Monday: “Already sent out 6k more [postcards] today.” Woot woot!

FLORIDA TEXTBANK RECAP
Field Team 6 is bringing the heat to the Sunshine State! Yep, Florida is once again a key battleground state, now that abortion rights will be on the ballot in November. Our textbank last week featured exactly 100 volunteers who sent 109,000 texts. If our metrics from the 2022 cycle hold, over 35,000 new blue or purple voters (Democrat, Independent and unaffiliated) will register after outreach. Many thanks to Ana Mendez who represented as our co-sponsor Forward Blue and to our special guest partners, Florida Democrat’s Kristellys Estanga, Monarch Strategies’ Zo Mitchell, and Jacqueline Westman of The Union.

WE REACHED OUR GOAL! "NATIVE ART FOR NATIVE VOTES" & WHAT’S NEXT!
If the Blue Wave's gonna be a tsunami in November, we're going to need all hands on deck. And Native Americans are a key part of our coalition. That's why we set out to raise $15,000 to fund 10 Native American artists who'll put their powerful art on postcards, social media, and more to register Native Americans to vote!
And we did it! We raised $15,303! Thanks to everyone who donated to make this exciting initiative come true.
Now the new goal is to raise $5000 to buy data for unregistered, likely Democrat, Native Americans, starting with sovereign lands in our target states. If you can, please chip in HERE.

SATURDAY, JUNE 8: VIVA NEVADA CASINO NIGHT!
Hey everyone in Los Angeles! Don't gamble with our future. Instead, gamble at our casino night fundraiser and help raise money to register new Democrats in the swing state of Nevada!
Hosted by Onward Toward Progress, it'll be at the incredible La Cañada Flintridge Country Club, and tickets include hors d'oeuvres, unlimited beer and wine, and $100 worth of casino chips! There's also a raffle, specialty cocktails, and for those who can't make it in person, an absolutely huge online auction (HERE)!
All proceeds from this night of fun go to Field Team 6 registration work in Nevada, for the 2nd year in a row! In 2022, with funds OTP raised, FT6 registered 27,346 Democratic and independent voters – 8,564 of whom voted – supplying the entire victory margin of Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, who won by only 7,928 votes – and secured Democratic control of the Senate! So yes – your bets at this casino night can actively save a branch of Congress!
Join us Saturday, June 8 from 6-10p PT. Click HERE for more information and to buy tickets. We're already warming up your lucky dice!
