Last two days to turn out the vote!!! AGHHHHH! We can do it!  

TODAY'S ACTION:

Sign up by 5pm today (Sunday) if you want to be a poll monitor on Election Day! You just watch a polling location and report to the pros at the Texas Civil Rights Project if you see any funny business: https://www.mobilize.us/tvp/event/338947
 

Follow up with your friends who haven't voted yet! How to know? There are a couple different tools we've been using to check if our friends have submitted a ballot:

txballot.org

and

The Blue Squad app

Welcome to Day 5 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 41 more days until the election! Today we are doing the census and telling everyone we know to do it, too.

TODAY'S ACTION:

Fill out the census and tell everyone you know to fill it out, too! Whether you're a citizen or not, it's important to get counted because it means $15,000 of funding for your community over the next 10 years. Plus, the census does not share your information with any other government agency.

Doing the census takes about 10 minutes, and sharing the link with your friends and family takes just a couple minutes more: https://2020census.gov/

And we can't wait to see you live in the chat this Sunday, 9/27 at 5pm for our "The Rabble, In The House: What the healthcare?!" episode: https://www.facebook.com/events/352607089144490

Welcome to Day 1 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 45 more days until the election! EEk! 

TODAY'S ACTION:

Make sure you are registered to vote at your current address! Even if you are TOTES SURE you are registered to vote, juuuuust double check... states like Texas like to get a little voter purge-y before elections. 

Register2Vote.org is the easiest peasiest way to check your registration. Plus, if you are NOT registered, you can fill out all the info on their website and they will mail you your filled-out form. All you have to do is sign it and drop it back in the mail -- they cover the postage. Texas does NOT have online voter registration (lame), but this is truly the next best option we've found. 

And don't delay getting your form in! It's due back to your county's tax office (that's who's in charge of voter registration) by October 5.

You registered? SWEET! Now, text, email, social media-blast your friends and tell them to check their own registration at Register2Vote.org, too.

GET READY FOR TOMORROW'S ACTION ITEM:

RSVP for a virtual candidate meet-and-greet with Beto O'Rourke and several candidates running for all kinds of important offices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area happening at 12:50pm tomorrow, September 20. 
RSVP to join the Zoom here.

Facebook event is here.
