WORLDS SAVED: 1

TOTAL VOTER TOUCHES TO DATE: 27,178,593

Urgency and agency. Those are the two secret ingredients to organizing others and motivating ourselves. Everything we love is in danger, and you are the one who can save it. On voter drives since 2017, our single best conversation-starter for registering new Democrats has been, “Can you help me save the world from Trump?” In one sentence, we create a high-stakes narrative with you as the hero. And it works! Why? Because its premise – you can help me save the world – is entirely true.
And that’s what the news always leaves out. It feeds us urgency. But it leaves us passive, helpless observers. Only activism gives us agency.
Democracy is rule by the people. And it is only the people who can and will save this democracy. As activists, we do the outreach that brings people in and makes our democracy more representative. Democracy is not just the end – it’s also the means.
So let’s continue to beat back apathy with empathy – overcome suppression with registration – and out-organize their cheating, just as we have for the last 8 years.
How? With agency and urgency.
Because you CAN save the world from Trump! Right now!
Volunteer! Donate! Win!
– Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6

THESE DOCTORS HAVE THE WINNING PRESCRIPTION!
Field Team 6's Partnerships Team Lead, Kala, has a sister who's a member of Physician Women for Democratic Principles (PWDP). They focus on healthcare issues like strengthening Medicare and fighting for abortion rights. They asked for us to put up an ActBlue page (find it HERE) so their members can donate to Field Team 6 and put their money to work registering new swing state Democrats. So far, they've raised almost $5,500! It costs us $8.58 to create a new Democratic or independent vote, votes that without our work, no one else could or would generate. That means PWDP is responsible for 640 crucial new votes, and counting! Thank you, Doctors!
Are you part of a group that wants to help save democracy in November – a bookclub, a bunch of college alumni friends, a softball team, or even your own family? Whatever the cause, we can put up an ActBlue donation page – specially dedicated to your very group – to raise money for our outreach. You can customize the page with whatever messaging or graphics you want, and even add a video. Just email our COO Dale Roy Robinson HERE, and we'll get you set up so that your group can easily contribute to FT6 and our amazingly effective and efficient partisan registration work.

OUR BIGGEST TARGET: THE "DO NOT VOTE" PARTY!
Take a guess what the biggest party in America is. It ain't the Dems or the GOP. It's the "Do Not Vote" Party. In the 2020 election, we had the largest voter turnout in over 120 years! 67% of eligible voters went to the polls. But that means that about 80 million people still stayed home.
Fortunately, Field Team 6 has the data and the strategy to get enough of those "Do Not Voters" registered on Team Blue to save democracy this November. FT6 founder Jason Berlin and Robert Hubbell of “Today’s Edition” newsletter explain how simple it all is. Check out the inspirational video HERE and get pumped up to text, call, postcard, social storm, and donate as much as you can between now and Election Day!

THURSDAY, JUNE 27: JOIN DAVID PEPPER & STORM BOYD FOR AN OHIO ARCADE!
What's Ohio famous for? The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cincinnati Chili... and political legend David Pepper! He wrote the book "Laboratories of Autocracy," he's the former chairman of the state's Democratic Party.
On Sunday, June 27 at 3p PT/6p ET, he'll be leading a Text Arcade into the Buckeye State, which will be vitally important in the 2024 elections. He'll also be joined by Ohio super-activist Storm Boyd, President of the Hamilton County Young Democrats.
Hanging out with these two powerhouses on Zoom can't help but get you fired up to make a huge difference this November, and there's no more efficient way to do that than in a Text Arcade. Join us and you'll get to blast out 1,400 texts and help us register likely Democrats, all for just 25 "buckeyes." Sign up HERE, and make sure you scroll down and click the David Pepper event – can't wait to see you there!

THURSDAY, JUNE 27: SLACK WATCH PARTY FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
The first of two presidential debates goes down one week from today in Georgia, and Biden v Trump 2024 is shaping up to be an all-time classic ("The Rant-a in Atlanta?" We'll workshop it). When they faced off in 2020, things got, shall we say, a little cray-cray with Trump putting out that insane call-to-arms to the Proud Boys. Who knows what wild punches the Orange Garbage Nightmare will throw this time, or when Joe will go for a knockout. But there's only one way to watch the sparks fly – with your FT6 compadres! In high-stakes moments like these it really helps to be around friends as we laugh often, cry when necessary, and analyze the event together... and see once again how important it is to keep registering new Democrats to vote! So get your drink of choice, fire up your Slack and join us on Saturday, June 22 at 6p PT/9p ET for the Presidential Debate Slack Watch Party. Sign up HERE!

SATURDAY, JUNE 29: BYOP WEEKEND TRAINING...BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
When we created our free "BYOP" texting platform it was... clunky! Two years later, our current BYOP is now easier, faster, and more effective than we ever could have imagined. Volunteer coding geniuses Alicia and Dan have created super-fast extensions, and our expert trainer Deb and her team continue to build the trained volunteer BYOP army corps with weekly BYOP Bootcamps. But we know it can be tricky to volunteer on a weeknight. So we're throwing some BYOP Bootcamps over the weekend, just for you! Yep, join us on Saturday, June 29 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET. Sign up HERE.

GERRYMANDERED CHOCOLATE BARS: DEMOCRACY HAS NEVER TASTED SWEETER!
Unfair Share Chocolate Bars don’t break into rectangular pieces like regular chocolate bars. Instead, each fractures into the same absurd shapes as real gerrymandered congressional districts found in states like Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana, and North Carolina. All profits from each chocolate bar sold through the link below benefits Field Team 6! And Field Team 6 registers likely Dem voters, so we can fight GOP foul play like gerrymandering.
Each delicious candy bar is 52% dark chocolate, vegan, non-GMO, allergen free, and produced in a facility that’s kosher, peanut free, and gluten free. Order now at The Chocolate Dispensary by clicking HERE. Makes a great gift for loved ones, or yourself!

We think you should look snazzy as you save the world, so we've got the solution: our new "Register" t-shirt and sweatshirt collection!

Bonus points: our shirts and sweatshirts are union-printed on soft cotton, so they're extra comfy, plus they make gorgeous gifts for all your left-leaning friends and family. Check out the full collection (and postcards, flyers, stickers and more) at our store HERE!
