Can you believe that we are less than 5 weeks away from the Mid-Term Elections?? Now that early voting has begun, our focus is now on turning out the vote for our candidates!

​

• We have Jennifer Todd for Congress yard signs available. Here’s the link to request one: https://forms.gle/7btghsw74snpyCWT9

• We’re continuing our buy one offer for Vote Blue, Save Democracy ($5 suggested minimum donation) and get a JB Pritzker for Governor yard sign at no additional cost –This is a great way to show support for our candidates and let voters know they’re not alone in rejecting the chaos. Here’s the link for ordering those signs: https://forms.gle/qLxQCm8nW16ShWaEA

​

There are many different volunteer opportunities available to support the plan, including:

​

1. Drivers: We need volunteers to give prospective voters rides to the Adams County Clerk’s Office to register; correct any issues and cast their ballots in-person. Will also need volunteers willing to pick up vote by mail ballots from those who are unable to physically return their ballots to the Clerk’s office. And provide rides to the polls on November 3rd if necessary. Link to sign up: https://forms.gle/Nr4qDmGvRNj9MUHU8

 

2. In-Person Canvassers: Contacting likely Democrat voters, passing out campaign literature and encouraging them to Vote BLUE in the General Election. Can be done independently w/a friend (contact us for packets/maps) or we have two events scheduled, both beginning at 9:00 with teams meeting at Calftown Coffeehouse, 432 South 8th Street, Quincy:
