Homestretch For Suozzi (2/11/24)

This week was full of news that filled many of us with anxiety for the future of our democracy and despair about some of our major institutions including the Supreme Court and the media, especially The New York Times. With so many distractions and demands on our attention, it's crucial to prioritize our efforts where they can make the most impact. As we navigate the intensifying election season of 2024, focusing on actionable steps becomes paramount. As Simon Rosenberg wrote in yesterday's Hopium Chronicles:  #DoMoreWorryLess. For the next two days, the most important thing you can do is volunteer for Tom Suozzi's campaign for Congress in NY-03. The outcome of the close NY-03 special election hangs in the balance, and our actions in the next two days could sway the results. Stepping beyond our comfort zones, whether by joining a phone bank or reaching out to friends and family in the district to ensure their voting plans are in place, can significantly amplify our efforts to support Tom Suozzi. Effective representation for NY-03 is imperative, and every vote in the House holds immense significance. This past week, we witnessed a poignant example of dedication as a Democrat, despite post-surgery recovery, made a decisive vote in the Mayorkas impeachment, underlining the urgency of our actions. Let's rally together and commit to doing everything within our power to propel Tom Suozzi across the finish line by Tuesday night. Explore the resources available in the "all in for Suozzi" section below and our Slack channel #textbanking-phonebanking-canvassing-and-ballot-curing for opportunities to contribute, whether through phone banks, canvassing, literature distribution, or other avenues. Let's harness our collective emotions—frustration, anger, and hope—and direct them into #multitaskingfordemocracy, knowing that together, we can effect real change.
