We helped save democracy! Now on to Georgia!

Dear amazing IndiMarin Volunteers,

What a week it has been! From the relief on November 8 that the much ballyhooed red wave was a media-driven miscalculation, to the glorious news that we will retain Senate control and the clear repudiation of election deniers like Kari Lake, voters across America affirmed that they support democracy, individual freedoms and candidates with integrity.

As Senate Majority Schumer said, the midterm elections were a “vindication” for Democrats and their agenda thanks to the American people’s rejection of “antidemocratic extremist MAGA Republicans."

At IndiMarin, we are proud of our efforts in support of Catherine Cortez Masto and John Fetterman. We sent 17,000 postcards for Cortez Masto and made countless phone calls for her and John Fetterman, both crucial Senate wins. We also worked our hearts out for numerous CA Congressional candidates and are waiting for those results with fingers and toes crossed. Thanks to all of you who participated!

Now all eyes turn to the Georgia Senate runoff. With Republicans demoralized and Democrats enthusiastic, now’s the time to seize this momentum! 

A Warnock victory would be a decisive win against MAGA extremism and give President Biden the cushion he needs to nominate judges and cabinet officials who reflect our values and who will work to protect our democracy. With a challenging Senate map up ahead in 2024, a Georgia victory would lock in a Democratic Senate seat for six years and would make it more likely that we hold our Senate majority into the future. It matters a lot who wins this election, and you can help. 

IndiMarin has developed a comprehensive offering of tactics for our volunteers to participate in ways that work with their availability, preferences and budget. Options include 1) Phonebanks and Anytime Calling, 2) Writing postcards, 3) Texting voters, and 4) Financially supporting the effort on the ground in Georgia. Time is of the essence, so please jump in today!

1) PHONEBANKS AND ANYTIME CALLING:
Our calls are made through an automated dialer, so no need to use your phone. If you are new to phonebanking, our friendly mentors will get you started. Once you are comfortable, you can make calls on your own time in addition to calling at our phonebanks. Sign-up for as many times as you can, then you can rest easy knowing you’ve done all you could for our country!

  • Sign up here for our Phonebanks on Saturdays from 9:30am - 11:30am PT, Wednesdays from 12pm - 1pm PT, and Election Day (December 6th) from 9:30am - 11:30am PT.

  • Make "Anytime Calls" on your own schedule as often as possible.

  • The Activate America dialing platform is open daily (except holidays), so you can sign up here to receive all of the links you need to make calls on your own.

  • Watch this four minute video to see how easy it is!

2) POSTCARDING
We have three options for writing postcards to voters in Georgia. The mailing deadline is November 25th. Both online and pre-made packet requests are limited to 40 addresses at a time. Feel free to request more when your first batch is complete.

  • Online: Please collect your own supplies first and then request addresses and script.

  • Packet Pick Up: For our local volunteers, pre-assembled packets are available for pick up in two Marin locations - Greenbrae and Novato. We request a $5 donation to cover our costs. Sign up to pick up packets.

  • Postcarding in a group - Join us at Panera Bread in Novato on Tuesday, November 15th at 10 AM. RSVP here

3) TEXTING

4) FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE EFFORT ON THE GROUND IN GEORGIA
We've created another one-step way to strategically donate to support a win for Warnock! Click to donate at this ActBlue link ,"One & Done to Gain One More Senate Seat: Strategically Support Raphael Warnock's Reelection!" Your donation will support in equal parts:

  • Airlift to Georgia 2022 - Our ongoing fundraising partner, Airlift, has a special runoff effort which is supporting a consortium supporting 26 grassroots organizing groups ready to knock on more than 3 million high-priority doors in the next 3+ weeks.

  • Activate America - Our ongoing voter outreach partner is funding the use of CallHub, an excellent calling platform for out-of-state volunteers, as well as postcarding and texting programs.

  • Senator Warnock's campaign for TV ads and other mass communications efforts.

Thank you, thank you for your amazing work thus far and the work we know you will do again. Let's go win this! ✊ ✊ ✊
