Today’s Action: Get out the vote in
the primaries!
After a break from
the primary frenzy, Maryland is voting tomorrow! We all know
the biggest enemies of progress in America are Republicans, but it’s
also been painfully clear that just a few bad Democrats can muck a
LOT of things up for all of us. This is our chance to do something
about it — to not just elect
any Democrats, but to
reshape the party with real progressives to advance our legislative
priorities!
If you live in
Maryland and don’t yet have a plan to vote, make
yours now. If you have friends in Maryland, call them and cajole
them to the polls! Find out when your own state’s primaries
will be held, and identify your current polling place here.
It is absolutely critical to show up this year — and every year — to
build a truly progressive future.
Every. Vote.
Matters. Check
your voter registration status and polling place to ensure you’re
prepared for upcoming primaries and the
midterms — and tell your network of like-minded
friends and family to do the same on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter,
at the park, in the bleachers, in the pews, at the dinner table, and
anywhere else you can!
No matter how
unpopular Trump and the GOP seem to be, Americans are still dealing
with extreme income inequality, incessant voter suppression schemes,
worsening climate change, relentless attacks on reproductive care,
and the demonization of marginalized communities, because corrupt
Republicans are regularly joined by a few bad-faith Democrats
hellbent on protecting the status quo. Fortunately, we have some
amazing progressives running for office this year — but they can’t
win if we don’t show up!
Even though there’s
only one primary tomorrow, civic engagement is still as important as
ever. There are tons of virtual Get Out The Vote events happening
this weekend that need your participation, including virtual
phone banking for Tennessee and letter
writing with Swing Left tomorrow. You can filter through events
here,
but no matter what you choose — you’re making a difference in this
fight.
Every
meaningful electoral victory shares a common thread: progressives
turning out in full force on Election Day.
Check your
voter registration status at odaction.com/vote
and make sure you’re ready to do your part in upcoming primaries and
the midterms to win Congress and more. Then share
away on social media!
