The joy is definitely back in politics (9/29/24)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 24-hour postcard marathon, "24 Hours in '24: Our Freedoms Are On The Ballot Postcard Around The Clock 3.0." Your energy and commitment made this event a huge success! We also want to thank our co-hosts The Downtown Nasty Women Social Group and Team Min, all the people who worked to put together the marathon event, our 32 co-hosts, and the inspiring guest speakers who kept us going, including Nancy Pelosi, Jaime Harrison, Heather Cox Richardson, Jamie Raskin, and Cory Booker. Together, we kept the momentum strong as we work to protect our freedoms and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.

A special shoutout to two of our favorite Substack writers who joined us, Joyce Vance and Robert Hubbell, and captured the heart of our event in their own words. Joyce Vance wrote, "The joy is definitely back in politics," highlighting the resilience and dedication of everyone who participated. Robert Hubbell echoed this, saying, "We should take confidence from the fact that the Democratic grassroots base is energized and inexhaustible!" We encourage you all to read their reflections, which truly capture the spirit of what we accomplished together.

As many of our speakers reminded us during the marathon, down-ballot races and state legislatures are critical this year. We currently have a 1:1 match on any donation to our giving circle, which is supporting state legislative candidates in Arizona and Pennsylvania—every dollar counts! Please consider contributing today. (More information below)

We hope the energy from this amazing event fuels you for the next 37 days until the election. Let’s leave it all on the field! Whether it’s phone banking, canvassing, or of course continuing to write postcards, we need everyone to stay active. If you missed the marathon, don't worry—we host mini versions of the event three times a week where we postcard together on Zoom, with a guest speaker to keep us inspired. This newsletter will keep you informed about all that we do. Be sure to use the clickable table of contents in this newsletter for all the events and activities we have lined up and remember to load the whole newsletter as it doesn't fully load on some devices. We’re thrilled to have you with us—let’s keep pushing forward together!
