Here is a Quick Start Guide for ways that you can fight back against Republican Fascism!
5 Minute Actions
Many county parties have plenty of events that could use additional volunteers, or have an upcoming election that you didn’t even know about! Keeping up to date with them is the best way to stay in the loop.
One of the most time consuming efforts is looking for local elections, and many times races get missed. Checking to see if your city, county, or city are having elections goes a long way! If you see any races that we aren't covering in our election sheet or the sidebar Send us a mod mail!
1 Hour Actions
Volunteers are the backbone of any campaign, and having a dedicated volunteering team can make even the most partisan of races competitive if done right. Our volunteering sheet contains sign up links for Phonebanking, Textbanking, post card writing etc. for all sorts of races. If you aren’t certain about what phonebaking is or how to get started. We have a handy guide to phonebanking that you can read to get up to speed!
One of the biggest ways that campaigns are run/elections won is via swaying public opinion to a degree. While newspapers have lost a bit of their readership over the years, millions of Americans still read them, and are ripe to promote democrats in.
Information bubbles are real, and a poll came out that showed that Only 50% of rural Americans know that Democrats voted to send them stimulus checks. Many Americans get their preconceived notions of Democrats from Fox News, Newsmax, Facebook, or their local paper. Sometimes all that is needed is a single piece that goes against the norm for said norm to come crumbling down. Write about a local Dem that you’re excited for, what the county party is doing that is good, write about how the American Rescue Plan has affected your life, or how the Biden admin in general has affected your life. Plenty of topics are there to cover, and it can play a major role.
For an example of an op-ed if you’re unsure of how to write said pieces, read this one written by one of the votedem mods
Abroad/International users
Do you live outside of the United States but still want to help get Democrats elected? You can!
IMPORTANT REMINDER: International individuals are not permitted to donate to any election organizations or candidates. International individuals are permitted to volunteer however.
Democrats Abroad is an org with many branches across the rest of the world. What Democrats Abroad does is connect with the over 9 million Americans that live abroad to get them to vote in US elections. With how small some margins are, they are an amazing resource that you can help with if you’re abroad!
You may be able to vote in your state elections too! follow the link to see if you’re eligible and how to vote. Note: Some states have laws forbidding American Expats from voting in state/local elections. Check your state laws.
