BROADWAY DEMS GO BLUE COMMITTEE - Zoom Meeting
Help us phone bank on behalf of North Carolina state Senate candidate Terri LeGrand, from Forsyth and Davie Counties. Democrats in NC have a chance in 2020 to win the majority in the state legislature: they just need to flip 5 state Senate seats and 6 state House seats! Even if they win the majority in only one of the chambers, they break the current Republican control and will be able to influence redistricting that will be put in place for the next 10 years.

Less than 80 days till November 3rd!
Go Blue continues with regular activities every week. Join us! We have phone banks on Mon, Wed, Thur, Sat and Sun evenings and we write Reclaim Our Vote postcards and Vote Forward letters on Sundays. It all happens on Zoom so we can socially distance, but after the initial training, which happens at the beginning of every session, you can also volunteer on your own time. We had been focusing on the last primary elections of this cycle but have now switched gears to GOTV and campaigning for the November election.
Mondays 4-5pm we phonebank to help re-elect US Rep. Max Rose in Staten Island/Brooklyn. Many of us helped elect Rep. Rose two years ago, reversing years of Republican control of that seat in Congress – and we are not going back! The race is competitive, with the Republican opponent, Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, having been endorsed by Trump. Rep. Rose can use all the help we can give him.
Wednesdays 5-7pm we phonebank with Reclaim Our Vote, a campaign started in late 2017 (with the Special Senate Election in AL) by the non- partisan Center for Common Ground. Reclaim Our Vote’s unique mission is to empower under- represented voters of color in states with voter suppression, which has been growing since the 2013 Supreme Court decision Shelby County vs. Holder that stripped away many voter protections. In 2020 Reclaim Our Vote is focusing on 6 states: AZ, TX, MS, AL, GA, and NC. Of those, Go Blue has selected AZ, TX, GA, and NC because they’re also Swing Left “Super” states (where we have a chance to win back not only the WH but also Senate and state legislature seats).
Reclaim Our Vote phone banks are special for many reasons: they are non-partisan, providing information on re-registering to vote (since many of these voters are victims of voter roll purges), as well as information on voting by mail and early voting. These voters also often live in low-income and rural areas that are traditionally bypassed by partisan campaigns, so they appreciate us reaching out and providing them with voting information. We called Georgia for their primary election on June 9, then called Texas for their run-off primary on July 14, and now are calling North Carolina to help voters get ready to vote in the November election.
Thursdays 5-7pm our phone banking focuses on flipping Senate seats in ME and KY. Although we are working to put Democrats in the Senate, we are well aware of down-ballot races in the districts that we call, including Congressional and State House races. We partner with the ME Dem. Party and the Louisville, KY Dems. Currently the ME phone bank is focused on collecting data - are voters planning to vote Democrat or Republican - and providing information on voting-by-mail for the July 14 primary. We’ll pivot to support the Democratic Senate candidates in both states once they’ve been chosen.
Saturdays 12-2pm we phonebank for NC state Senate candidate Terri LeGrand in Forsyth and Davie Counties. Democrats have a chance in 2020 to win the majority in the NC state legislature: they just need to flip 5 Senate seats and 6 House seats. Even if they win the majority in only one of the chambers, they break the current Republican control and will be able to influence redistricting that will be put in place for the next 10 years.
Sundays 12-1pm we alternate between writing Vote Forward letters (www.voteforward.org) and Reclaim Our Vote postcards. Vote Forward is partnering with Swing Left to organize letter-writing to voters in “Super” states asking them to vote in November. Two million letters have already been written by volunteers across the country and the plan is to write many, many more. The letters will be mailed in late October in order to have the biggest impact on GOTV for the general elections. Reclaim Our Vote postcards can vary in objective, depending on the voters we are reaching each time. So far we have provided voters with information on checking their registration status so they can re-register if necessary, information on voting by mail, and information on a “pledge to vote in Nov” campaign spearheaded by the NAACP that encourages voters to invite friends and family and offers a host of follow-up resources to help them exercise their right to vote.
Sundays 4-6pm we phonebank to re-elect NC state Senator Kirk DeViere and for state House candidates Frances Jackson and Kimberly Hardy, as well as 8th Congressional district candidate Pat Timmons-Goodson, all in Cumberland County. Democrats have a chance in 2020 to win the majority in the NC state legislature: they just need to flip 5 Senate seats and 6 House seats.
