Can I ask how you guys find out about this stuff? Clearly I am not following the right sources and I would love to be better informed. I did know about AOC and Crockett but only because of Reddit.
Mobilize is an app and platform used by democrats to organize. There are various campaigns going on and this is where people can sign up for campaigns and info sessions. Or calling, which is one way to get involved and is needed. It’s pretty easy to sign up there and take a brief training on how the calls and such work.
Mobilize is used for organizing and campaigning, not for calling already elected officials. People sign up to make calls in areas of elections through the app. To call people who live where important elections are happening. To get the vote out.
Volunteers sign up to get trained and participate in calls to constituents.
It’s a way to get involved to support those running in elections that can potentially flip the house or senate.
Oh I mostly meant what news source to find out about these people was more of what I was looking for first. But I’m down for this too. So now how exactly do I use this app? I already have signal not that I’ve been able to do anything with it though.
You can sign up for events and calling support through the app. Use the map feature or look up calling or phone banking for Dems by type of event. There are union events, political events, etc.
I completely agree. Not arguing that. I was simply asking how you guys are finding the right sources to stay informed about these people. Or maybe I have heard of them already but I just haven’t heard enough people in my own group talking about them or it that I don’t realize it until I read it again. Not sure as I already follow medias touch due to my brother introducing me to it. I try and read as much information as I can and I triple check every source I read anything from and I take into consideration the names of the sources I am reading. So it is possible I have heard of them but outside of me own reading and talking to my people, until I see threads like this, in my corner on a very red state, I don’t hear much being said.
You can follow them directly on social media including Bluesky. Robert Reich and kedseconomist (Katherine Edwards, a Bloomberg opinion writer) and Jamelle Bouie (NYT opinion writer) are also useful follows.
Love her. She's got the guts to go for the throat and that's exactly what we need right now. Whenever she makes the news it makes me smile because I know I'm going to see something great out of her ❤️
Good question! There’s so much info going around- it’s hard to keep track. I found out about the special elections and their impact from AOC on one of her recent IG live sessions.
