Post-debate, action is the solution

Hello wonderful IndiMarin Volunteers,

Thursday's debate has set off a flurry of contrasting opinions within our Party about the top of the ticket. While the pundits, prognosticators and strategists continue to opine on various paths forward, one thing is clear - efforts to persuade and mobilize voters are more important than ever. 

For us at IndiMarin, this means we keep doing what we do best - TAKING ACTION. As grassroots volunteers, our job is clear. We keep working, without missing a beat, to help elect as many Democrats as possible to the House and the Senate. Putting one foot in front of the other, we stay true to our mission which is 100% crucial to saving our democracy.

As we often say here at IndiMarin, "The antidote to anxiety is action." The future of our country is not decided by televised debates. We decide it. Billy Wimsatt of Movement Voter Project expressed the moment well: “The election cannot be about Biden…it has to be ‘about us.’ This election is about the movement and the people, not the person. No one is going to save us from Trump except us.”

Since launching in 2017, IndiMarin has provided ways for our volunteers to channel energy into high-impact races and build Democratic power. For months, volunteers and supporters like you have been doing this work. Now, is the time for each of us to dig in further and individually commit to doing as much of the needed voter outreach work as you possibly can.

Here are strategic actions you can take right now to give our democracy a fighting chance:

  1. From anywhere: Zoom Phonebanks - Saturdays from 9:30 - 11:30am PT and Tuesdays from 4-6pm PT.  Call voters in CA-22 and Arizona to win back the House and retain the Senate. Links and details

  2. Canvass voters if you live near or in a competitive House or Senate race. Link and details

  3. Buy a “Dems Make Life Better” t-shirt to spread Dem messaging in your daily lives. Link and details

  4. Text voters for key Senate races - Texting opportunities are just now heating up. Be advised that texting opportunities can be somewhat unpredictable so flexibility is needed for this tactic. Link and details

  5. Write postcards to voters - Online requests and local writing events and packet pickup available. Links and details

  6. Donate strategically to help Dems take back the House.

  7. Feeling discouraged? Here are four tips to stay positive and motivated.
