Weekly actions: Get loud about #VoteFromAbroad
1a/ USians overseas, DO NOT wait until the last minute to return your ballots! Join the #IVotedFromAbroad challenge today and return your ballot ASAP and tell others to do the same.
1b/ The logistics of voting can by complicated. Luckily @DemsAbroad and @vfaglobal provide comprehensive FAQs, personalized assistance via a voter help-desk, and live, 1-on-1 help via Zoom. Use these resources and spread the word! http://qrco.de/bbh0zg https://www.democratsabroad.org/2020_ballot_faq
1c/ Have you not received your ballot? Fill out a Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) right away! Please see the @vfaglobal FAQ on how to do this: https://www.votefromabroad.org/fwab . Be sure to share this resource so other USians abroad hear about it.
1d/ Have you joined the #IVotedFromAbroad crew? Fantastic! Now track your ballot to make sure it is received and accepted https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/01/politics/election-2020-mail-in-ballot-tracking-trnd/index.html. Thanks @ResistanceItaly for the link!
1e/ Vote down ballot! We need progressives throughout the system, which means we can’t just focus on federal races. Check out this guide from @PaalOslo on how to discover and cast your vote for progressives in your hometown. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1o9hun4gd4qfr4/Downballot%20voting%20infoguide.pdf
1f/ Spread the word about voter assistance, the importance of filling and returning your ballot exactly by the directions, the FWAB, and ballot tracking! Personal conversations and your social media accounts are great tools to share trusted information about #VoteFromAbroad.
1g/ Take back the Senate. The fight for the Senate just got even more important due to the SCOTUS vacancy. Let’s also work to kick the GOP out of the Senate. We’ll be highlighting a Senate race of interest each week between now and the election.
1h/ The Montana race between Dem Gov. @stevebullockmt and GOP Sen. Daines is critical to the potential of a Dem majority. Consider volunteering or donating to Bullock’s campaign here: https://stevebullock.com
2/ Keep pressure on your Senators about SCOTUS. Tell your Senators not to vote until after a new Congress is seated and if you have a Democratic Senator, request that they work to halt a vote. Use this package of tools from @IndivisibleTeam https://savescotus.indivisible.org
3/ The biggest story isn't Trump's Covid dx but his bungled response and outright cruelty that have led to the deaths of so many. If you can, donate to Covid relief in your current community or hometown. Some groups we donate to include @domesticworkers @UFWupdates @onefairwage
4/ Fight misinformation from the right. Looking for tools to help fight rightwing misinformation online? @GravelInstitute is launching with the goal of using short videos to spread progressive ideas. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGravelInstitute
