BROADWAY DEMOCRATS -

GO BLUE COMMITTEE



We need YOU.  Join this effort for THE ELECTION of our lifetime.  You don't
want to be left out.  We need to win BIG to give a clear message of what
this country stands for.  We are quickly approaching the last day to vote
(aka Election Day).


New volunteering opportunity for poll watchers and staffing voter
protection hotlines!


We the Action, a group connecting lawyers and others in the legal field
(paralegals, law students, etc.) with causes, regularly circulates a list
of opportunities to help out protecting the right to vote either remotely
from your own home, or on the ground in a variety of states.  Many of the
opportunities may also be suitable for non-lawyers with some interest or
background in voting rights or election procedures, or others who are
willing and able to address voting-related issues with the help of training
and reference materials. You can sign up at
https://electionprotection.wetheaction.org/ .  Opportunities include
staffing voter protection telephone hotlines, or poll-watching in person to
make sure that all eligible voters are able to vote, or assisting voters in
curing problems with their absentee ballots.  If you have questions, please
contact David Isaacson at david-isaacson at pobox.com.

Our ALMOST DAILY events happen on Zoom (we'll send you the link close to
the event) and we provide training at the beginning of every session.

Have questions about volunteering?  Let us know at
broadwaydemsgoblue at gmail.com and we'll be happy to set up a phone call.



MONDAYS 5-6 pm

Help us phone bank for US Rep. Max Rose's re-election campaign (Staten
Island/Brooklyn, NY-11).  Congressman Rose flipped this seat in 2018 after
many years of Rep. control and we're helping him keep it blue in 2020!


TUESDAYS 6:30-8:30 pm

Flip the Senate?  Yes!  Be a part of history and phone bank to help Kansas
elect Dr. Barbara Bollieras the first Kansas Democrat elected to the U.S.
Senate since 1932.  Dr. Bollier, formerly a Republican, is in a close and
very winnable race for an open seat held by Republican Pat Roberts for over
20 years.  We will also work to elect Kali Barnett in "The Big First"
(CD-1).


WEDNESDAYS  4:30-7 pm

Help us phone bank with Reclaim Our Vote & the NAACP to combat voter
suppression in North Carolina.  We ask under-represented voters of
color to pledge
to vote in November (and invite their friends and family to do the same)
and provide information on vote-by-mail and early-voting so that they can
vote safely and make sure that their vote is counted.


THURSDAYS   5-7 pm

Help defeat Mitch McConnell, who The New Yorker calls "the most dangerous
politician in America."  Phone bank to Kentucky and help Amy McGrath win
the Senate seat while we try to pick up some down-ballot races along the
way!

SATURDAYS  12-2 pm

Help us phone bank on behalf of North Carolina state Senator candidate
Terri LeGrand, in Forsyth and Davie Counties.

What's at stake in NC: in 2018 Democrats broke the Republicans'
supermajority in both chambers, and in 2020 we have the opportunity to take
control of both chambers.  We're within 5-6 flips of that reality in each
chamber.

If Dems. can break the Rep. control in the state legislature we will be
able to influence redistricting that will be put in place for the next 10
years.  Republicans drew such gerrymandered districts that they had to be
redrawn by court order.  We will also finally be able to expand Medicaid in
NC under the ACA.  Not to mention that by boosting turnout among Dem.
voters we help re-elect Governor Roy Cooper, help win another Senate seat
(Cal Cunningham, running against Thom Tillis), and secure 15 electoral
votes for Joe Biden!


SATURDAYS  3-5 pm

Help flip the senate!  The senate race in IOWA is rated "Toss Up" and hyper
competitive.  Recent polls from the Des Moines Register give Theresa
Greenfield a slim lead over incumbent Joni Ernst - let's help her keep it!
Let's make sure however much evangelicals in IA get activated by the open
Supreme Court seat, we are there to stop them! This phone bank also has us
asking voters to support Biden and all down-ballot Dems for a Blue Wave in
IA.



SUNDAY WRITING EVENTS ARE OVER.

We did it!  Over 6,000 postcards mailed and almost 10,000 letters written.
Vote Forward letters' The Big Send is next Saturday, October 17.  A big
Thank You to our postcard and letter volunteers.  Now onto phonebanking
till Nov 3!
