Thursday, August 5
End the Gerrymander, Insist on Fair Districts
3 – 6pm EDT

Fight gerrymandering and pass the For The People Act (S1/HR1). S1 prevents locking in partisan gerrymandered districts for 10 years! S1 would also expose the billionaires who buy politicians and pay for misleading political ads, increase the impact of small donations, hold elected officials to high ethical standards, make voting simpler and safer, and much more! The tool automatically connects voters to their Senators, to urge elected officials to do the right thing.

SD-36 Connecticut Phone Banking
6 PM-9 PM

It's not just national or Congressional elections that matter. State legislatures decide election rules, women’s health, make decisions on climate, and a lot more. Those seats need to be blue (or stay blue) too. Join the CT Dems for a virtual phone bank -- reaching out to likely supporters to get out the vote. This election will be extremely close and it is critical we keep SD-36 blue! RSVP today for Zoom details.

And it’s wearable too.

I confess, I had no idea this existed
