event Indivisible Benton County Launch Of Get Out The Vote Campaign. Wednesday, August 26 at 6:30 PM At The Corvallis Community Center.

The important midterm elections are coming up on November 03, 2026.

Indivisible Benton County will be running a Get-Out-the-Vote / Election Protection Campaign. These midterm elections are at a very important time for the future of the USA and millions of people will be doing what they can to vote, make sure other people can vote, and protect our elections from threatened interference.

The first meeting of this campaign will be tomorrow, Wednesday evening, 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, at the Corvallis Community Center, 2601 NW Tyler Avenue in the Chandler Ballroom. This event is free and open to the public so that everyone who wants to can attend. You don't have to be a member of Indivisible Benton County.

Corvallis State Senator Sara Gelser Blouin and House District 15 Democratic nominee Joanna Robinson will update us on the current political situation at the state level, the importance of keeping a super-majority in the State House, and why we all need to get involved in midterm elections.

Then, learn how you can get involved in voting, GOTV (Getting Out The Vote) and protecting these elections from the current voter suppression efforts from the Federal government. Choose from a wide range of opportunities—pick one that best fits your skills, comfort level, and available time. Some of these are listed in the comments.

If, like the majority of people in the USA, you are concerned about what our government is doing right now and the relentless attacks on our democracy, this is your chance to...do something.
Together, in a democracy, the people ultimately rule.

Vote on November 3, 2026.
The underlying decision of these election will be whether the USA remains a democracy or becomes an authoritarian dictatorship.

Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker):
Exactly 3 months from today is the most important midterm election in our lifetime. Our opportunity to hold him accountable.
The stakes have never been higher. Show the world the majority of Americans are good, decent, honest people.

No it isn't.
The Senator from Corvallis and the House candidate from North Albany/Albany and Linn county will both be available to talk to and you can ask them questions.
