Greg Pak: And I highly recommend volunteering to GOTV in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Must win states if we want to defeat Trump. I've done a lot of textbanking in past elections for WisDems - check 'em out! wisdems.org

I've volunteered for political campaigns for literally 40 years. And one thing that's always helped when things look bleak is the knowledge that there is ALWAYS something practical you can do to help make things better -- whether through electoral politics or other kinds of service. For example...

If you care about getting out the vote among AAPI communities, you could throw some bucks at Asian Americans for Democracy. They're funding a bunch of trusted grass roots swing state AAPI groups to get out the vote. secure.actblue.com/donate/aa4d

BTW, here are the groups that Asian Americans for Democracy is funding. I've personally volunteered for the Asian American Advocacy Fund in GA and I love them. There are also groups here in PA, WI, and MI - check 'em out and volunteer! asianamericans4democracy.org/portfolio/

One of the most effective things we can do is phonebank for these groups. Easy to do online without using your own phone. But phonebanking isn't for everyone. But there's also TEXTbanking, which is as easy and much better for the soul than doomscrolling! And writing letters/postcards!

I've written hundreds of postcards through Postcards to Swing States. Very easy! No phone anxiety! www.turnoutpac.org/postcards/

Postcards to Swing States - Progressive Turnout Projectwww.turnoutpac.org Voters who receive handwritten postcards are significantly more likely to vote. We proved it in 2020.

You may notice I'm not talking about donating directly to or directly volunteering for Biden or the DNC. That's 'cause I'm not doing that right now. I think we HAVE to defeat Trump. But I'm putting in my GOTV time with progressive grass roots groups and voting rights groups to strengthen them, too.

If you want to volunteer directly for the Biden campaign, I non-ironically support you! I might, too! But I mention this because you can be disgusted by Biden or at least many of his policies and STILL know we have to defeat Trump. And volunteering for these other groups is a great way to do that.

Volunteering for local grassroots groups is also a great way to hedge against Biden's campaign screwing things up. I don't know what they're doing to get out Asian American voters. But I know the grassroots groups that Asian Americans for Democracy are supporting know their stuff!

I’ve done the postcards before for past elections, thanks for the reminder, I signed up to do more!

I'd like to add that Field Team 6 is contacting (text/phone/in-person) people who lean left to get them to register to vote. I've been text-banking and it rocks! Link: fieldteam6.org

I just received my packet in the mail. I'm happy to do it, since it's really all I have time for right now.

❤️

I've done this for the 2020 election. My friend & I split the postcards to WI. I'm going to do it again.

Thanks for sharing this! I signed up.

Did this in 2020 and will do so again! Just signed up for postcards within my own state.

📌

Do you have to sign your full name to the postcards?

Not that I recall! I think they had us just sign them with our first names? I can't remember exactly now, but I don't remember ever being asked to use a full name.

Cool--Thanks! Gonna sign up for a pack!

This is my favorite gotv activity as well.

thanks for the suggestion -- i signed up
