Get Ready for Tuesday's Federal Primaries -- MULTIPLE OPTIONS
Ahead of Tuesday's federal primaries, you can help get out the vote. As Ben Yee -- Secretary of the New York County Democratic Party and State Committeeman for New York's 66th Assembly District -- explained at our meeting earlier this month, one of the most important things you can do is vote in primaries. Change at the national level isn't possible without engagement at the local level.

(1) Get Informed Via Video and SHARE

See four clips from Ben Yee's presentation to Indivisible Upper East Side here.
Indivisible Nation BK explains New York's "soft" voter suppression and the importance of primary voting in a video starring Cathy Curtin (Orange Is the New Black) and Shawn Randall.
Empire State Indivisible recorded its May 20 moderated discussion with our U.S. Congressmember, Carolyn Maloney, and her primary challenger, Suraj Patel.

(2) Get Out the Vote With Team Maloney or Patel
Volunteer for phonebanking, canvassing, or visibility raising by contacting Maloney's team here. There are shifts throughout the day, Monday and Tuesday. To contact Patel's organizers, click here.

(3) Join Lexington Democratic Club Petitioning
E. 78th St. & Park Ave., SE corner
6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Join one of our local Democratic clubs to petition on behalf of candidates, which also raises awareness of the election in general. The shift will be captained by an experienced petitioner, so you'll have support if you're trying it for the first time.
