Action: Making a difference in the 2018 elections

[tanaqui]

Here are three sites that can help you make a difference in the 2018 elections, even if you live in a safe Democratic seat.

Swing Left

Control of the House in 2018 will be decided by a small number of Swing Districts, places where the last election was decided by a thin margin. Find your closest Swing District and join its team to learn about actionable opportunities to support progressives—and defeat Republicans—in that district, no matter where you live.

Sister District

The Sister District Project (SDP) is a grassroots organization that matches volunteers in safe blue places with strategic state elections throughout the country. As a volunteer, you’ll join your local district team, led by volunteer District Captains (DCs). Your local district team will be your SDP home base. Every election cycle, SDP HQ will assign your team one or more Sister Races that you and your team will work together to support.

Get Her Elected

Get Her Elected (GHE) is an initiative where people from all over the world offer their skills pro bono to progressive women candidates running for office at all levels of U.S. government. Skill sets from our current volunteers include everything from writing, editing, and graphic design to web design, data analysis, and fundraising strategy—and that’s just the start. By having people with these backgrounds fill in these gaps for no charge, we level the playing field and allow progressive women candidates to focus on bigger issues within their campaigns

(We already posted about Swing Left, but I thought it was worth reposting alongside the others.)

Definitely worth reposting!

I added myself to the Get Her Elected email list a few days ago. They send out weekly emails listing candidates and desired help;there's something that looked like a match for my skills in this week's email, so I wrote to the organizer and will see what if anything comes of it.

That's great -- do let us know if anything does come of it!
