Hi, Team CA!
I have a super exciting event to invite you to—one I’m co-hosting—and then an easy way to help us win elections here in California!
First, the event:
Kick off the 2024 election season with California Grassroots Alliance as they launch their campaign to sweep California’s six purple districts and take back the House. They’re thrilled to welcome three keynote speakers:
Representative Katie Porter, CA-47
Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin
Jessica Craven, activist, publisher of Chop Wood, Carry Water (me)
They add:
Katie, Ben, and Jess each offer us inspiration and insights plus proven practical tips on winning in battleground districts. Next, Alliance leaders will present our election year strategy and messaging, toolkits for action, and ways you can get involved. Come on board, because the road to the House majority runs through California. Let’s hit the road!
SIGN UP HERE for Power in the House, April 24th at 7 pm PT
Also, Vote Forward has launched their letter writing campaign, folks, and California figures in it heavily. Can everyone sign up to write some letters? If you’ve never done it before it’s so, so easy and really works. All you need is a printer, some envelopes, a pen and some stamps. Go here to get started.
Thanks for all you’re doing. Hope to see some of you on the 24th!
Jess
Thank you, @Jess! The California Grassroots Alliance also welcomes out-of-state folks to Power in the House because we are promoting Field Team 6 voter registration. Here's the key paragraph in an article about how the Alliance and Field Team 6 are partnering up to reach out to 40,000 unregistered likely Democrats in the six purple districts:
"We all remember the California heartbreakers in 2022: Democrat Adam Gray lost CA-13 by only 564 votes, and Rudy Salas finished a mere 3,132 votes behind in CA-22. But for 2024, Alliance research shows a whopping 216,000 unregistered potential Democrats waiting to be activated in the six purple districts*—and that’s where Field Team 6 jumps in!
Twenty five cents is the direct cost to acquire an unregistered likely Democrat’s name from a list broker, send two emails, and text them twice. Typically, Field Team 6 yields one out of three as a new blue or purple voter. So the Alliance has set a goal of $10,000 for a special one-time campaign to help Field Team 6 acquire up to 40,000 names of Not-Yet-Registered likely Democrats in the six districts, use proven digital outreach techniques, and get them on the voter rolls."
