Tri-City Democrats

Tri-City Democrats – Friday, October 9, 6:00 PM

Greetings fellow Democrats!

It’s time for our October 9 gathering (6pm). We are inviting candidates who have made it through the primary to come visit with us. We will also have ‘Hate Has no Home Here’ and ‘Vote Blue’ signs available. At this writing, the weather forecast is promising for a picnic at the farm – 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA. If it’s warm, we have plenty of shade and misters and sprinklers to take the edge off the heat. If it’s cool, we have a fire pit and patio heaters and we have some lights so we can see when it gets dark. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the Pasco Round Table reserved. and we’ll make a final announcement by Wednesday the 7th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we’re at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You’re on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members. We’ll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.

FAQ from A Better Richland

Richland registered voters will vote this November to update the Richland City Council election process to be like the rest of Washington’s First-Class Cities, Pasco, and Kennewick.
Currently all seven members of the Richland council are elected “at-large.” They can live anywhere in the city.  A vote to change the city charter would mean five council members would have to be elected from the districts where they live and two would still be elected “at-large”. Each of the five proposed districts would have approximately 12,000 residents. An interactive map on our website can show you in which district you would live. 

Did you know millions of people have already voted? Like, more than 20,000,000 people? [1]

That’s a whole lot of early birds. Early voting is breaking records this year, as voters across the nation head to the polls in-person and send in their mail-in ballots. People aren’t waiting around for Election Day this year—and you don’t have to either!

So, quick question: Have you already voted? Click YES to celebrate with a virtual ‘I Voted Early’ sticker and photo frame you can share on social or send to a friend to remind them to vote! Not yet? Click below and we’ll help you find exactly when, where, and how to vote early in your state.

HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

YES! I VOTED EARLY!
NOT YET. HELP ME MAKE A PLAN!

Click here if you’ve already voted!

I VOTED

Maybe you treat Election Day like a holiday (we do!). Maybe your to-do list is a mile long and you’re itching for something to check-off. Maybe you’d just rather not stand in a long line with a toddler doing gymnastics on your leg. Whatever your reason, early voting has you covered. It’s kinda like an early bird gets the vote situation.

Early voting is already underway in many states, and it’s a great way to make sure your voice is heard (often with more time options and shorter lines).

Here’s why we’re voting early this way this year and we think you should too:

  • No surprises on Election Day! We want to be extra, extra sure our vote is counted! Voting early gives us plenty of time to sort out any problem that could otherwise keep us from voting on Election Day. Make sure you check Washington’s voter ID rules before you’re standing in line so you have what you need!
  • Nobody needs extra stress! Avoid the long lines—voting early gives us more options and greater flexibility to cast our ballot on our own terms.
  • Voting with kids and friends is fun! Make it a moment, not a chore—gather your friends, discuss what’s on the ballot, and then vote early together!
  • Once your ballot is in, you can focus on our people and multiply our impact! After you vote, the days between now and November 3rd are yours to remind friends, drive a neighbor to the polls, or help another voter make a plan.

Ready? If you’ve already voted, grab your sticker and photo frame and spread the word. If you haven’t, it takes just a minute to look up your early voting options and make your plan.

SO… HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

YES! I VOTED EARLY!
NOT YET. HELP ME MAKE A PLAN!

A few more tips to help you vote this year:

  • Hit a snag? If you encounter any barriers to voting, there’s an election protection helpline for you! 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683). Don’t be shy about calling or texting if you encounter any issues. Your vote is important—and every vote should be counted.
  • Bringing little ones? Grab these fun activities to keep the little ones busy while you vote. Be a voter, raise a voter!

Your vote is powerful, needed, and essential to protecting democracy. If early voting is available to you, we strongly encourage you to vote early so nothing keeps your voice from being heard on Election Day. 

Let’s do this! 

– Kristin, Olivia, Felicia, and the entire MomsRising / MámasConPoder

P.S. Already voted? Don’t keep it a secret! Grab your virtual ‘I voted early’ sticker or picture frame and share it far and wide. Seeing friends vote is one of the best nudges to get other people to the polls.

Reality check: Election Day (November 3rd!) is just 2 WEEKS away—and early voting is already underway in many states. If you’re wondering, “What can I do right now that actually makes a difference?”, we’ve got you covered!

RSVP NOW

That’s right, moms are doing what we do best: Getting organized, making a plan, and bringing everyone we love along with us. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the many tips from moms who are getting out the vote this year:

  • Turn your group chat into your voting squad (’Tis the season for the “I voted” sticker selfie).
  • Plan an early voting coffee, with a pit stop at the polls first! Lines at early vote are often shorter, so you’ll still have time for a latte!
  • Voting with kids is fun! Gather some friends and take turns on kid duty while each of you votes.

That’s just the start! RSVP now for our MOMS VOTE RALLY on Thursday, 10/22.

📅 Date: Thursday, October 22nd
⏰ Time: 8:30pm ET / 5:30pm PT

  • Get what you need to vote early and make sure your ballot is counted;
  • Pick up easy ways to help your friends and family make their plans to vote in the final stretch;
  • Feel the energy of moms from coast-to-coast who are ready to show up for our families’ future!

RSVP for our MOMS VOTE! RALLY, and forward this invite to friends, family, and neighbors so they can join too!

Our votes decide our next leaders and the changes our families will live with for generations to come. When moms show up, we win. Let’s go! 

See you on the 22nd,

– Kristin, Karen, Olivia, Catalina, Carrie, Ruth, Donna, and the entire MomsRising/MamásConPoder team

Three hundred fifty-one.

That’s how many detentions we’ve confirmed in Washington this year alone through our Deportation Defense and Rapid Response Teams.

Behind every detention is a person, a family, and a community navigating the fear and uncertainty of an increasingly cruel immigration enforcement system.

We can’t control when immigration enforcement happens, but we can prepare for it together.

This Wednesday, September 30, join WAISN and Central Washington Legal Aid for a Facebook Live on emergency planning for immigrant families.

MAKE A PLAN WITH US »

From 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. the Facebook live will be held in English, and from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. it will be in Spanish.

Together, we’ll walk through practical steps families can take right now, like creating an emergency family preparedness plan, understanding how power of attorney can help trusted loved ones make important decisions, and preparing for what happens if someone is detained or unable to return home.

No one should have to figure this out alone. https://www.facebook.com/events/1619528583162913/

Trescientos cincuenta y uno.

Ese es el número de detenciones que hemos confirmado hasta el momento en Washington gracias a nuestros equipos de Defensa contra la Deportación y de Respuesta Rápida.

Detrás de cada detención hay una persona, una familia y una comunidad navegando entre el miedo y la incertidumbre de un sistema de control migratorio cada vez más cruel.

No podemos controlar cuándo habrá una redada de inmigración, pero podemos prepararnos juntos.

Este miércoles, 30 de septiembre, acompañe a WAISN y a Central Washington Legal Aid en una transmisión en vivo por Facebook sobre cómo prepararse para una emergencia para familias inmigrantes.

HAGA UN PLAN CON NOSOTROS »

De 6 pm a 6:30 pm, la transmisión en vivo de Facebook será en inglés y de 6:30 pm a 7 pm, será en español.

Juntos, repasaremos algunos pasos prácticos que las familias pueden tomar ahora mismo, cómo elaborar un plan de preparación familiar para emergencias, entender cómo un poder notarial puede ayudar a sus seres queridos de confianza a tomar decisiones importantes y prepararse para lo que pueda pasar si alguien es detenido o no puede volver a casa.

Nadie tiene por qué pasar por esto solo. Acompáñenos este miércoles, encuentre respuestas a preguntas importantes y haga un plan en comunidad con nosotros.

We look forward to continuing these events, allowing us to casually convene around important stories and work in the fight for democracy, and to identify ways to meaningfully engage one another. 

We’re proud to see the hundreds of people sign up for our program within a week, and over 80 participated in last night’s call. There is people power in taking time to collectively listen and ask questions. The energy of our group will continue to grow. Next week, we will have another energizing speaker to share more about the good fight on addressing corruption. 

We are sharing some resources from last night’s call in case you couldn’t register or join in time. If you haven’t already, register at the link below (you only have to do so once!) to ensure you can join our Democracy Happy Hours, which will be on the first Wednesday of each month starting next week.

Due to Zoom restrictions, all past Democracy Happy Hour attendees must re-register using the following link. You only need to register once to access the event. 

In community,

Standing together against antisemitism and Islamophobia


Last week, Oregon lost three children and a teacher in a school shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend. Another child and a teacher remain in critical condition.

No family or community should ever have to endure this kind of loss.

To the students, educators, and the entire Bend community: we are grieving with you, and we will stand with you in the days and months ahead. We’re especially grieved knowing that this tragedy occured right in our backyard. Our communities mourn together. 

We are heartbroken. We are also angry.

Tragedies like this one are not inevitable. They are the result of policies and a culture that make it far too easy for guns to end up in the wrong hands, including the hands of children. They are the result of lawmakers choosing, again and again, to offer sympathy instead of action.

Gun violence is preventable, and we can make policy choices to stop it.

We can strengthen and enforce safe storage, pass legislation that keeps firearms away from those in crisis, and they can invest real resources in the prevention work that we know saves lives. Every day they wait is a day they accept the risk of the next Bend.

Our children deserve to be safe at school. We will not stop working until they are.

Please keep the families in Bend in your thoughts.

With a heavy heart,
Alliance for Gun Responsibility

Did you know that Michigan is one of only 7 states in the country that charges money for a personal protection order (PPO)?

But, thanks to the work of our partner organization, End Gun Violence Michigan, the state house in Lansing just passed a bill to make PPOs free – a move that could dramatically increase access for survivors, and prevent tragedy before it can happen.

Michigan is one of our partner states, who we’ve worked with on our model of state-based change for years – and they’re seeing results and saving lives with their work in Lansing.

Our success is measured in the state-by-state victories that our partner organizations are securing with our support. Would you invest in those victories and our proven model of state-based change with a contribution right now?

DONATE

Michigan’s bill can empower survivors to seek out the support they need, without being penalized financially. Increasing access to PPOs will keep firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers and others who shouldn’t have them – to prevent domestic and intimate partner violence from becoming deadly.

This bill will save lives, and this is why we invest in the states. Would you empower our mission with a contribution right now, to help us get laws like this passed in other states?

Do you expect to get $84,000 pension checks every month? No?

Neither does anyone else. But that’s how much you’d have to get to join the 0.6% who will pay the Millionaires Tax.

Yet that hasn’t stopped the fearmongering proponents of Initiative 645 from claiming that the Millionaires Tax will affect union pensions.

This myth is easy to disprove. Just do the math!

No one’s union pension will be affected by the Millionaires Tax. According to the Economic Opportunity Institute, for a teacher’s pension to be affected by the Millionaires Tax, they “would have to work for 278 years to earn $1 million in annual pension benefits – this is impossible.”

Washington State Labor Council President April Sims explains in a new video:

October 2nd, 2026


In this issue: 

  • Poll: Support for repealing WA ‘millionaires tax’ drops with budget impact
  • Seattle Times recommends ‘No’ on I-645, ‘millionaires tax’
  • Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
  • Millionaires tax benefits everybody
  • Millionaires tax: Repeal is bad for our health

Donald Trump just came out opposing the Millionaires tax, and presumably in support of I-645 — the initiative that would cut billions in funding for healthcare, education, and child care in Washington. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, Trump championed a tax cut for the top 1% while recklessly slashing funding for hospitals, nursing homes, child care, and much more.

Initiative 645 is right on brand for Donald Trump.

Luckily, Washingtonians get it. Polling shows that when Washingtonians know the full impact of I-645, they are more likely to vote “No.” So with just weeks to go until voters get their ballots, can we count on you to help get information out to your friends, family, and neighbors? Fill out this quick survey and tell us the one thing you want to do between now and the election and we’ll make it happen. Post social media? Write a letter to the editor? Knock on some doors? We need everyone’s help to protect our state from I-645.

In solidarity,

Ben, Invest in WA Now


POLL: SUPPORT FOR REPEALING WA MILLIONAIRES TAX DROPS WITH BUDGET IMPACT

The poll of 800 Washington residents tested support for I-645 by evenly splitting the sample: 400 saw that budget-impact wording, and 400 did not.

It made a big difference.

Fifty-seven percent of those who saw the budget statement said they’d vote no on I-645, compared with 35% who said they’d vote yes to repeal the tax. Eight percent were undecided.

More – Jim Brunner, The Seattle Times


SEATTLE TIMES RECOMMENDS ‘NO’ ON I-645, ‘MILLIONAIRES TAX’ REPEAL

“But Initiative 645 does more than take away the 9.9% tax on incomes over $1 million. It maintains a bevy of promised tax credits that, without the income tax to fund them, would dig an even deeper budget hole. And it would prevent legislators from altering any of the initiative’s impacts for two years, absent a supermajority vote. That would come at an economically uncertain time: the last two years of the Trump administration, whose budget cuts have required Olympia to backfill lifesaving social programs; and with the state’s unemployment rate surging to among the highest in the nation.

More – Editorial Board, The Seattle Times

WASHINGTON TAXED ITS MILLIONAIRES. NOW THE RICH WANT IT REPEALED.

“People who don’t know much about Washington politics would assume we have a highly progressive tax code,” said Rian Watt, executive director of the nonprofit Economic Opportunity Institute, a progressive research and advocacy group in Seattle. “The reality is, we have a tax code written in the course of a couple of months in the 1930s.”

More – Anna Griffin, The New York Times

MILLIONAIRES TAX BENEFITS EVERYBODY

“My clients knew they benefited from employees who were trained in public schools, they appreciated their access to clean and plentiful water, clean air and fire fighters when needed. They appreciated the safe banking system, tax credits for their good deeds and business deductions that were generous in what was considered ‘business expenses’. They took advantage of good roads, rail, freight, and an internet that was developed with taxpayer dollars.

What I have a problem with is being stiffed for the bill when people take advantage of a system I and my fellows pay for without the largest benefactors giving back. The ‘tax’ is one way major benefactors can give back. There are many reasons to leave Washington, but tax if you earn more than a million dollars in a year shouldn’t be one of them. “I got mine” is not a good look.”

More – Lunell Haught, Spokane

MILLIONAIRES TAX: REPEAL IS BAD FOR OUR HEALTH

“Research consistently demonstrates that more equitable societies experience lower mortality rates, longer lives and greater overall well-being.

“A fairer tax system that provides the resources to build a robust social safety net is by far the most impactful health intervention. That’s why the millionaires tax is a monumental step toward building a Washington where all communities, regardless of income, can thrive and experience long and healthy lives.”

Standing together against antisemitism and Islamophobia




It’s Libby,

It’s Sunday morning, so I’ll keep this short!

Election Day is just nine days away. Nine days. That’s all the time we have left to defeat I–001 and I-638, and recent polling confirms that these will be very close races. We cannot be complacent.

Our GOTV efforts are well underway, and we’re working around the clock to make sure Washington voters know what’s at stake. 

With Election Day just days away, we need the resources to keep reaching voters and finish this campaign strong. Can you chip in today to help us get across the finish line?

DONATE $9

Every dollar makes a difference in this final stretch. Let’s defeat these initiatives together.

Thank you,

Libby Watson
Campaign Manager

NO HATE in WA State is a campaign of Washington parents, medical professionals, teachers, students, and community members standing against ballot measures IL26-001 and IL26-638 that would endanger Washington students and hurt our schools.

Reject the hate, bullying, and harassment of our students. Join us today.

It’s Senator Patty Murray. 

Before I ever ran for office, I was a mom fighting for my kids’ preschool program here in Washington state.

That’s why I’m reaching out today to ask you to stand with No Hate in WA State and help defeat Initiatives 001 and 638.

When I first got involved in politics, a state legislator told me I couldn’t make a difference because I was just a “mom in tennis shoes.” I’ve spent my whole career proving him wrong by standing up for families and kids who need someone in their corner.

That’s what this fight is about.

Initiatives 638 and 001 are being sold as a way to “protect” kids. They do the opposite.

Our schools should be places where every kid feels safe, supported, and free to be who they are—we need to focus on making sure our kids are getting the best education possible, not fixating on culture war issues that don’t help anyone. I’ve fought for that in the classroom, on the school board, and in the U.S. Senate, and I’m not about to stop now.

I’m proud to stand with No Hate in WA State, but we can’t win without you. Will you chip in $10, $20, or whatever you can today to help defeat I-001 and I-638?

Thank you,

Senator Patty Murray

Why I Need Vivek Ramaswamy
to Lose

From the desk of Bibek, Senior Digital Strategist

Ohio, I’m asking for a personal favor. My name is Bibek (the Nepali version of Vivek) and every time I introduce myself, the invariable response is, “Oh, like Vivek Ramaswamy?” No. Not like him. The most famous guy with my almost-name can’t be a guy who runs his campaign like a cartoon villain, twirling a mustache he can’t grow.

Who Vivek wishes he looked like.

But seriously: This week Ramaswamy, trailing Dr. Amy Acton by 4 to 9 points, rolled out an ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother calling her a liar. Acton survived childhood abuse, and her brother says their mother stayed married to Amy’s abuser until he died. JD Vance’s advice to Republicans uncomfortable with all this was to “stop whining.”

It’s a new low for Republicans, but they started digging earlier this week. In Michigan, a young “voter” named Tommy demanded Abdul El-Sayed disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed did, then asked Tommy if he would disavow any attempt to read religious doctrine into American law. Tommy would not. Tommy also turned out to be a former operations director for Sen. Josh Hawley.

El-Sayed’s no-nonsense takedown of “Tommy” was ice-cold and we’re here for it.

They pull these dirty tricks because they can’t compete on policy. A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds a strong majority of voters want the next Congress to undo Trump’s agenda or act as a check on it, on tariffs, health care, and immigration. When your ideas are this unpopular, all that’s left is smears. Let’s fight for our ideas. Find the training to get you there.

NDTC Learner Spotlight

Dr. Elma Hairston runs a consulting firm that helps young women build their careers, and she keeps noticing how many North Carolinians are left out of the state’s economic boom. She trained with NDTC as a first-time candidate and won a contested Democratic primary with 59% of the vote. Now she’s taking on Republican Rep. Alan Branson in a seat that she will flip blue if she wins.

SUBSTACK

The Strongest Bench Is Intergenerational

NDTC learners range from Gen Z all the way to the Silent Generation, and the candidates on ballots this November cover the same spread. Our latest piece looks at what each generation brings to the fight and why the party is stronger when all of them are in the room at once.

NDTC for GOTV: A Campaign Resource

Nobody should spend their first canvass shift squinting at a walk list and trying to figure out which door is 14B. Your volunteers showed up because they want you to win, so send them out to pound the pavement knowing exactly what they’re doing, and which door to knock on. Our new GOTV resource is built to get them there.

THIS WEEK’S WINS

A week and change, this is how we organize, show up, and win.

Under Gov. JB Pritzker, Illinois blew past its goal, erasing more than $1.4 billion in medical debt for nearly 700,000 residents while spending less than $10 million in state funds. Nobody had to apply; people just got a letter saying the bill is gone. This is what the GOP is afraid of: Democratic policies actually helping people.

House Republicans set out to extract 10 extra seats from redistricting and, after $133 million in TV ads, are now privately worried it nets them just one. They squeezed all the juice they could, and now they’ll have to compete on policy. Imagine that.

After weeks of residents raising concerns at council meetings, this small Missouri town voted unanimously to end its Flock contract, with crews set to bag all 15 cameras the next morning. Turns out civic engagement works.

Substack – The Strongest Bench is Intergenerational


As an outreach engagement specialist, my whole job comes down to one thing: connecting with people. And whether it’s a neighbor, a coworker, or a voter, the best connections still happen face to face.

The hard part usually isn’t the conversation. It’s keeping track of all of them. Who did you talk to? What did they say?

That’s where MiniVAN comes in. It helps campaigns organize door-to-door outreach and keep every conversation on the record. This training will show you how to set it up so your team can focus on what matters most: talking to voters. 

Join us for Tech Time: MiniVAN 101 to Secure the Vote on Monday, October 19th at 1 pm ET (10 am PT).

CLAIM YOUR SPOT

By the end, you’ll know to:

  • Use MiniVAN for direct voter contact
  • Set up a canvass in VoteBuilder in three key steps (yes, just three). 
  • Organize a MiniVAN campaign so your volunteers and organizers know exactly where to go and what to do. 

If you’re running a voter contact program in VoteBuilder/VAN, buckle up. This is your chance to build the hands-on technical skills to get MiniVAN rolling for your team.

Join us for Tech Time: Maximizing VoteBuilder for Volunteer Management on TODAY, October 15th at 1 pm ET/10am PT.

By the end, you’ll know how to:

Legal Update: The Supreme Court begins a new term by agreeing to hear arguments in Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha, a lawsuit brought by the ACLU and our partners that challenges the Trump administration’s mandatory detention policy.

As the deputy director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, let me tell you about the next big case my team will be arguing before the Supreme Court.

This is a slightly longer email than usual, but it’s because we want you to have all you need to know about this critical case as we go to the Supreme Court.

The background:

  • In July 2025, the Trump administration suddenly adopted a new radical misinterpretation of immigration law, declaring that anyone who entered the country without inspection must be detained without any individualized bond hearing. The administration’s mandatory detention policy does not take into account a person’s family or community ties or how long they have lived in the country. This means people who do not pose any flight risk will be locked up at taxpayer expense.
  • Millions of immigrants are affected, including people eligible for legal status as well as those with long-pending immigration applications who have been waiting years due to administrative backlogs. This policy is cruel, inhumane, and most importantly, unlawful.
  • That’s why it’s been challenged again and again, with hundreds of federal district judges ruling on thousands of related habeas petitions. And nine out of ten of those judges have ruled that the administration’s misinterpretation of the law is illegal.

The case, Rhoney v. Barbosa da Cunha:

  • Our client Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha has been living in the United States for over 20 years, has a family, owns a home and a business, and has had an application for legal status pending since 2016.
  • Nonetheless, in September 2025, the Department of Homeland Security detained him under the government’s new no-bond policy.
  • A district court judge found this unlawful and ordered a bond hearing. An immigration judge then found that he was not a flight risk or a danger to the community and ordered his release.
  • The Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision and agreed that the administration’s new policy violated existing immigration law. In total, nine federal appeals courts have ruled against the policy, including the ruling at the center of this case.

What’s next:

  • President Trump thinks he can subject all immigrants who enter the U.S. to mandatory detention, regardless of how long they have been in the country.
  • The lower courts have repeatedly, resoundingly, and correctly rejected his radical misinterpretation of the law. Now, our nation’s highest court will weigh in, and their ruling could have major implications for the president’s mass deportation agenda.

The law is clear: Try as it might, the government cannot lock up immigrants like Mr. Barbosa da Cunha for months or even years without giving them the basic due process of a bond hearing.

The Trump administration can’t reinterpret the law at its own whim. We look forward to making that case to the Supreme Court, and we’ll be fighting with everything we’ve got.

I’m sure we’ll be sending you many updates as this case progresses. Until then, thank you for all you do to support our critical work,

Dear MoveOn member,

We have news we didn’t see coming, and it’s the best kind of problem to have.

When we launched Adopt a District this summer, we set an ambitious goal for how many MoveOn members would adopt a district and reach out to “skippers,” people who voted in 2020 but stayed home in 2024, to help them vote. We blew right past that goal.

But we didn’t budget for a surge this big. Every new volunteer needs postcards and campaign literature mailed to their door, a fresh list of voters, and organizers to train and support them. With just 12 days until Election Day, we can’t afford to tell a single volunteer to wait.

Can you chip in $9 right now to help us keep up with the surge? Every dollar helps put more volunteers in touch with more skippers before polls close on November 3.

Here’s why this matters so much: We are within reach of winning back the House AND the Senate.1 That is how we start to stop this nightmare: with a Congress that has the power to check Trump’s corruption and chaos instead of rubber-stamping it.

But some of the races that will decide it are getting closer, not further apart.

Take Michigan. In August, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed beat more than $70 million in spending from Super PACs tied to corporate interests and AIPAC to win his Senate primary.2

Now he’s running against Republican Mike Rogers to take on the billionaire class, and the race has tightened. A brand-new Marist poll shows just 2 points separating them among likely voters.3 Early in-person voting in Michigan starts this Saturday.

Two points. That is exactly the kind of race skippers decide.

Our analysis shows that in several key districts, MoveOn member skippers alone are enough to swing the result. These aren’t people who need to be talked into our values. They already share them. They just didn’t feel like anyone was fighting for them last time.

Research shows people are most likely to vote when they hear from someone they can trust more than once, and a personal note from a fellow MoveOn member who cares about the same things carries more weight than any ad.

That’s what Adopt a District does:

Each volunteer takes on 25 skippers and reaches them by postcard, door, phone, and text, again and again, right up until they’ve voted. It’s one of the most effective things we can do in these final days, and our members have shown up for it in numbers we never expected.

Meanwhile, billionaire-funded Super PACs are flooding the final stretch with hideous attack ads. We’ll never match them dollar for dollar. We don’t have to. We just need enough to make sure every volunteer who raises their hand gets the tools to reach their voters before it’s too late.

Will you chip in $9 now to power the Adopt a District surge through Election Day?

Michigan showed us what happens when people refuse to give up on a race the billionaires thought they could buy. Let’s seal the deal in Michigan and in every close race, all the way to November 3.

Thanks for all you do.

–Joel, AD, Mark, Yan, and the rest of the team

P.S. We beat our recruitment goals, and that means a surge of additional volunteers are ready to reach out to people who sat out the last election in the races that will decide control of Congress. But they can’t do it without postcards, voter lists, and organizers. Chip in $9 now so no volunteer gets left on the sidelines in the final 12 days.

P.P.S. To adopt a district yourself, sign up here!

Join your friends and neighbors and vote early tomorrow!

Dear MoveOn member,

No Kings: Vote Early is tomorrow and we’re taking our democracy back.

Millions of people have come together since the first No Kings event just over a year ago to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians.

By organizing, speaking out, voting, and protecting our rights, we’re building power for our communities. We’ve marched and we’ve rallied. Now, we are taking action at the voting booth to flex our political power.

No Kings: Vote Early won’t be like other No Kings.

People are hosting local events that reflect their community. The events are all about making sure every eligible voter has a plan to vote early, knows their options, and is helping to safeguard our right to vote.

There are more than 2,000 events taking place across the country tomorrow. Will you join thousands of people to vote early at a No Kings: Vote Early event?

No Kings events are occasions to join with others in camaraderie and shared purpose. Don’t believe us? Just hear from your fellow MoveOn members:

“There is an atmosphere of shared purpose and camaraderie. The proverbial “powers that be” seek to diminish and discourage us. MoveOn can help us fight back by encouraging undecided individuals to join the struggle . . . and the joy.”

“Organizing three very successful No Kings events in a red rural community that drew more folks than have ever turned out before, from both our community and surrounding areas, who were actively looking for an event where they could make their voices heard. I was thrilled to know even my inexperienced volunteer effort could give so many a way to speak out peacefully and publicly.”

“I participated in local community No Kings protests. It filled me with a sense of community that I never felt before. I did not feel alone. I no longer felt that I was alone in my thoughts and opinions of the country’s current situation. It gave me hope.”

Won’t you join us in flexing our political power and attend a No Kings: Vote Early event tomorrow?

Thanks for all you do.

March For Our Lives Virtual Events

Gun violence is not inevitable. It is the result of choices made by politicians, by the gun lobby, and by all of us when elections come around.

That is why March For Our Lives Action Fund has released a new voter guide: a resource to help voters understand where and how to vote.

For the first time in decades, Pennsylvania Democrats have an opportunity to win a governing trifecta and open the door to critical gun reform. And it’s not just Pennsylvania. Across the country, elections give voters an opportunity to shape the future of gun safety.

We know what happens when leaders refuse to stand up to the NRA and the gun industry. But we also know progress is possible when young people and our communities demand more.

Our movement has never accepted the status quo as an answer to gun violence. We organize, we vote, and we hold leaders accountable for the choices they make.

Now, we want to make sure you have the information you need to make your voice heard.

VIEW THE VOTER GUIDE

Use our voter guide to find out where and how to vote, make a plan for Election Day, and share the guide with friends and family who want to support gun safety.

Every election is an opportunity to make our communities safer. Together, we can help more voters make informed decisions and show candidates that gun safety matters.

Here’s a headline that should be good news: gun violence in America is declining.

After years of alarming increases, national data shows that gun injuries and gun deaths have returned to pre-COVID levels. In city after city, the numbers are moving in the right direction.

Except in one place.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, gun violence in domestic violence situations has increased at an alarming rate. In Indianapolis alone, domestic gun violence deaths nearly tripled — from an average of 8.5 per year between 2014 and 2019, to 21.5 per year between 2020 and 2025.

This is not a coincidence. It is the direct result of decisions being made right now by the people in power.

Federal and state funding cuts have devastated the organizations survivors depend on. In Indiana alone, domestic violence services saw $6 million cut from their Victims of Crime Act funding over two years. Three programs have already shut their doors. The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence estimates that up to seven more could close — eliminating 100 support positions and leaving 45,000 survivors without access to services.

At the same time, loosened gun laws have made it easier for abusers to access weapons. Following the passage of constitutional carry in Indiana in 2022, nearly anyone 18 and older can buy and carry a firearm — with no permit required. Without a permitting system or forced relinquishment, those who legally can’t have firearms have easier access anyway.

This is what happens when we defund the safety net and loosen gun laws at the same time. The people who pay the price are survivors — disproportionately women, disproportionately women of color — who are left without anywhere to turn.

We cannot talk about ending gun violence in America without talking about what is happening behind closed doors.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. At March For Our Lives, we refuse to let this crisis remain invisible. Common-sense gun safety laws save lives. Keeping firearms out of the hands of convicted domestic abusers and those under active restraining orders reduces intimate partner homicides. And fully funding the services that help survivors escape safely is not optional, it is life or death.

The Violence Against Women Act is up for reauthorization by Congress in 2027. We will be fighting for every protection it carries and we will not be quiet while politicians and gun-lobby allies try to roll them back.

Will you make a donation today to help March For Our Lives keep fighting for the survivors that this system is failing?

206 votes.

That’s all that kept Ken McCool’s opponent, Tricia Cotham, in office in 2024 after she helped erode reproductive freedom across North Carolina.

See, Cotham was elected as a Democrat. Then in 2023 she switched parties, handing Republicans a veto-proof supermajority in the North Carolina House on a silver platter, and cast the deciding vote to restrict abortion access across the state.

And now, the North Carolina GOP are only one seat away from regaining a veto-proof supermajority. When I talk about how vital it is that we build Democratic power at the state legislative level, this situation is precisely why. We have to invest in expanding majorities and picking up seats in red states so that one vote isn’t all that stands in the way of the GOP’s radical agenda.

And with just 10 days until Election Day, we have a real chance to flip Tricia Cotham’s seat blue and stop Republicans from gaining a veto-proof super-majority in North Carolina. That’s why I’m so fired up about Ken McCool.

Ken made history as one of the youngest elected officials in North Carolina at just 21 years old. As Mayor Pro Tem of Matthews, he expanded affordable housing, secured the largest park investment in a generation, and helped bring high paying jobs to the region.

That’s exactly the kind of bold young leader this district deserves — someone who will truly show up and deliver for his constituents.

Winning Ken’s race is absolutely critical to protecting the Democratic governor’s veto power. Republicans are just one seat away from a veto-proof supermajority in the House, which would let them override the governor on everything from affordable housing to healthcare.

District 105 is competitive, but it’s winnable — and Ken is exactly the candidate to take it all the way. He just needs us to have his back in these final days.

So will you make a $25 contribution to help us power Ken to victory and stop Republicans from getting a veto-proof supermajority?

Our Red-to-Blue races across the country are absolutely critical to win next month. Take a look at this map:

Over the past few months, Leaders We Deserve has been highlighting 18 critical state legislature, House, and Senate races with powerful candidates running to flip red seats blue.

For so long, Republicans have been strategically winning state legislatures, creating supermajorities at the state level. The decisions of so many critical state laws lie in the hands of state legislatures — we can’t neglect the urgency to build progressive power at the state level.

We also have the opportunity to take back both the House and Senate this year. Leaders We Deserve has endorsed Randy Villegas, Kristina Knickerbocker, and Angie Nixon in critical Red-to-Blue races. The momentum has been building, the ratings are shifting in our favor, and now we have to do everything in our power to reach voters and show up strong on Election Day.

This year, we have incredible candidates with the power to flip seats blue, take back the House and Senate, and break Republican majorities in state legislatures. But we need to be able to fully support these candidates through Election Day.

That’s why Leaders We Deserve created our Red-to-Blue Fund. This fund is dedicated to helping elect our endorsed candidates and flipping critical seats. None of our candidates take any corporate PAC money — so we’re counting on your support.

But we’re running out of time. We’ve got less than two weeks to get our campaigns the resources they need to win these races.

Will you chip in $25 to our Red-to-Blue fund today to help flip seats in critical races and elect progressive power up and down the ballot?

“Civic Power” Report: Organizing Is How We Win Elections and Pass Bold Policies

Did you know millions of people have already voted? Like, more than 20,000,000 people? [1]

That’s a whole lot of early birds. Early voting is breaking records this year, as voters across the nation head to the polls in-person and send in their mail-in ballots. People aren’t waiting around for Election Day this year—and you don’t have to either!

So, quick question: Have you already voted? Click YES to celebrate with a virtual ‘I Voted Early’ sticker and photo frame you can share on social or send to a friend to remind them to vote! Not yet? Click below and we’ll help you find exactly when, where, and how to vote early in your state.

HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

YES! I VOTED EARLY!
NOT YET. HELP ME MAKE A PLAN!

Click here if you’ve already voted!

I VOTED

Maybe you treat Election Day like a holiday (we do!). Maybe your to-do list is a mile long and you’re itching for something to check-off. Maybe you’d just rather not stand in a long line with a toddler doing gymnastics on your leg. Whatever your reason, early voting has you covered. It’s kinda like an early bird gets the vote situation.

Early voting is already underway in many states, and it’s a great way to make sure your voice is heard (often with more time options and shorter lines).

Here’s why we’re voting early this way this year and we think you should too:

  • No surprises on Election Day! We want to be extra, extra sure our vote is counted! Voting early gives us plenty of time to sort out any problem that could otherwise keep us from voting on Election Day. Make sure you check Washington’s voter ID rules before you’re standing in line so you have what you need!
  • Nobody needs extra stress! Avoid the long lines—voting early gives us more options and greater flexibility to cast our ballot on our own terms.
  • Voting with kids and friends is fun! Make it a moment, not a chore—gather your friends, discuss what’s on the ballot, and then vote early together!
  • Once your ballot is in, you can focus on our people and multiply our impact! After you vote, the days between now and November 3rd are yours to remind friends, drive a neighbor to the polls, or help another voter make a plan.

Ready? If you’ve already voted, grab your sticker and photo frame and spread the word. If you haven’t, it takes just a minute to look up your early voting options and make your plan.

SO… HAVE YOU VOTED YET?

YES! I VOTED EARLY!
NOT YET. HELP ME MAKE A PLAN!

A few more tips to help you vote this year:

  • Hit a snag? If you encounter any barriers to voting, there’s an election protection helpline for you! 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683). Don’t be shy about calling or texting if you encounter any issues. Your vote is important—and every vote should be counted.
  • Bringing little ones? Grab these fun activities to keep the little ones busy while you vote. Be a voter, raise a voter!

Your vote is powerful, needed, and essential to protecting democracy. If early voting is available to you, we strongly encourage you to vote early so nothing keeps your voice from being heard on Election Day. 

Let’s do this!

P.S. Already voted? Don’t keep it a secret! Grab your virtual ‘I voted early’ sticker or picture frame and share it far and wide. Seeing friends vote is one of the best nudges to get other people to the polls.

Friend,

Is your campaign reaching voters who are using AI tools to search for you? 

According to a recent AP poll, 21% of adults plan to use AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude to get information about this election.

You’ve probably heard of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), but have you heard of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of managing how your campaign shows up in AI tools. Because AI models give voters one direct answer instead of ten links to click through, making sure your candidate’s message is accurate and clear is critical.

To help you get ahead of this, we just released a new, free tool in the Arena Toolbox: What AI Says About Your Campaign: An AEO Quick-Start Guide.

Even with limited time before the election, here are three simple things you can do to help voters find accurate and persuasive information about your campaign in their AI searches.

  • Check what LLMs say about your campaign: Have a volunteer test key platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Ask questions like “Where does [Candidate] stand on [Issue]?” or “Who is running for [Office] in [District]?” to see what comes up.
     
  • Complete your Ballotpedia profile: AI models treat Ballotpedia as a trusted, neutral source almost universally. Even for small local races. Candidates supply their own bio and issue answers there directly, so this is a real opportunity to connect with voters.
     
  • Add a clear policy Q&A to your website: Write real, specific policy positions, not vague statements. AI tools have flagged campaigns as having “no position” on an issue when the actual policy page just said something like “I care about all sides of this.” Say what you actually believe, specifically.

Download the guide today to make sure voters get accurate, persuasive information about your campaign!

As always, everyone at Arena is rooting for you as you make the final push toward Election Day! And when the dust settles, we’ll be here to support you in your job search.

If it's cool, we have a fire pit and patio heaters and we have some lights so we can see when it gets dark. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the Pasco Round Table reserved. and we'll make a final announcement by Wednesday the 7th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we're at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You're on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members.

    https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/1050350/

    We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.

    For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

    Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the Tri-Cities together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

    Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
