Chop Wood, Carry Arizona 7/18

We have GOT this!

Hey, everyone!

Something has shifted in the last few days. I’m feeling it everywhere. Women especially—but not just women—are brushing off the doom-sayers and determining that we’re going to win. Heather Cox Richardson did a webinar about Project 2025 with Red, Wine, and Blue on Monday and 42K people showed up to learn more and find out how to get involved. Postcards to Swing States has received so many postcard requests in the last two weeks that they had to pause sign ups! (They re-start on August 1). I made an expletive-laden TikTok directed at “white men who say we’re going to lose” and to say that it resonated is an understatement. OMG the comments!

The negative nellies are loud and they get a ton of press, but the determined democracy supporters are OUT THERE—millions of us!—and we are hellbent on winning.

So let’s do this. Swing Blue Alliance is hosting a 30-minute Frontline Update on Saturday, July 27 at 10 AM Eastern to learn about the latest ways you can contribute to winning in AZ. This month’s update focuses on the importance of voter engagement, strategic insights from Arizona, and effective phone banking.

Patti O’Neil, the Chair of the Maricopa County Democratic Party, will provide an overview of the critical importance of the Grand Canyon State. Learn what’s at stake and the key areas where your volunteer efforts can make a significant difference. Register here.

I also want to remind you that Vote Forward has LOADS of Arizona letters. They need writers!

Finally, please join a whole bunch of Arizona States Project Giving Circles—including mine!—TONIGHT at 5 p.m. Pacific/8 p.m. Eastern to talk about why flipping the Arizona legislature is SO important and how you can help. This is going to be an amazing event — I’ll be saying a few words at the end.

One more thing. I made a video about where best to donate money to make your dollars go farthest. It’s here, and the accompanying document, which has links to all ten orgs, is here. Let’s be STRATEGIC in our donations. That’s how we win!

Thanks, all! WE’VE GOT THIS!

P.S. Now’s the time to recruit some friends. We need more volunteers!
