Take Action
STATES MATTER — NOW MORE THAN EVER
Our work is year-round. It requires a thoughtful, sustained effort to become educated, identify priorities, and develop strong relationships with grassroots organizers and national organizations that are on the ground. In 2025 we will continue to work in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, and we will be working on what many believe will be the first test of our efforts against the new regime: Virginia state-level races for Governor, Lt. Governor, and the House of Delegates. We’ll also work to protect the vote in all our states and to push back against voter suppression bills coming out of Washington.
Congress wants to suppress the vote! Make calls with Common Cause to mobilize voters to take action against the dangerous SAVE Act making its way through Congress. The SAVE Act threatens to make it harder for millions of Americans—especially students, seniors, and veterans—to cast their ballots. Training provided by Common Cause. Sign up here .
Pennsylvania
Make calls with VoteBlue's Take a Stand. Representatives are not showing up at Town Halls, but voters can still make their voices heard. We will be making calls to voters in targeted districts and listening to their concerns. We will then urge them to contact their state and federal representatives. VoteBlue provides the training. All you need is your computer. Tuesdays 2 PM and Saturdays 10 AM ET. Sign up here.
Make calls with Promote the Vote for the Municipal Primary Election. Only in Pennsylvania are people who oversee elections actually elected! Fair elections are at stake. Let’s help get voters in the habit of voting. Training provided. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 6:00 PM ET Sign up here.
Tax & Budget Fight Phone Banks. On two Thursdays in May, we are joining the People's Action Institute to talk to constituents in key congressional districts to take action to pressure Congress to stop the cuts and ensure the rich pay their fair share. No experience? No problem! The organizers will provide training at every phone bank to set you up for success. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or making your first call, you’ll be supported every step of the way. Dates May 1 and May 8, 6 to 9 PM SIGN UP HERE!
