Here’s what we have planned for the rest of this year:
This Fall, we’ll travel together to a swing district, live in a house together, and follow a daily retreat schedule that includes periods of meditation, dharma talks, and shared meals. And for 4-5 hours per day we’ll walk precincts and knock on doors to Get Out the Vote in support of our chosen candidates. Retreats will be the last two weeks in October, through Election Day: in San Antonio TX (supporting James Talarico for Senate) and in Bakersfield, CA (supporting Randy Villegas for Congress). Come join us! For more information and to register, click HERE.
Postcard Writing Retreats
We’ve completed our Postcard Writing retreats for this year: six in-person retreats and four online. Altogether some 300 of us wrote to more than 8,000 voters in Ohio and Texas, in support of Democratic Senate candidates in those two states. Thank you for your support, and thanks especially to the six hosts who offered their homes to us for the in-person retreats!
Also in the past year:
-
We campaigned in favor of the Prop 50 redistricting campaign in California;
-
We joined Seed the Vote for a “Deep Canvassing” project in Bakersfield (congressional district CA-22 is a key target this Fall);
-
We campaigned in Wisconsin in support of WI Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor, who won her seat on the court by a margin of over 300,000 votes; and
-
We also helped to get out the vote in the Pennsylvania and Michigan primaries.
