A lot is happening this week—it may be the most stressful week of the year. With the stakes so high, it is human nature to be worried, even if you can't control what's happening. Put that restless energy to work, and focus on what you can control.
At this stage in campaigns, the only thing that matters is voter contact. Here's how you can help:
- Chip in: Your donation helps campaigns keep up their communications until polls close. Campaigns make projections based on how much money they think they'll raise; if they have a shortfall, they may have to scale back the pace of their advertising. Donate to a campaign you care about, or chip in to Truth to Power to help us get our endorsed candidates over the finish line.
- Volunteer: Knocking on doors is the best, most effective form of voter contact there is. If you have a couple hours to spare before Election Day, sign up for a canvassing shift or two. How many people we're able to get to the polls in California swing seats could decide which party controls the House. Visit mobilize.us to find volunteer opportunities near you.
Even though I'm not on the ballot this November, I've still been raising money and knocking on doors for candidates in California I believe in:
I know that elections have a way of making folks lose perspective. During my first campaign, I briefly thought that an unexpected package on my doorstep could be a secret Republican tracking device. (It was actually my son, with my credit card, ordering himself an Xbox without permission.)
My advice to avoid being overwhelmed: spend a day door knocking and then take some well-earned time for self-care.
Thank you for all you do—Truth to Power has only made it this far with grassroots supporters like you. Please, if you can, will you consider donating today to keep us going?
Onward,
–Katie
