Hi, all!
First of all, the folks putting the abortion referendum on the November ballot just turned in TWICE AS MANY signatures as needed to get it on this November’s ballot! 🔥🔥🔥
That being the case, we really need to win the August special election. And here are three more ways to help!
The Blue Wave Postcard Movement just launched their Get Out The Vote campaign for it. They’re working in partnership with a group called One Fair Wage, who is collecting petition signatures in Ohio to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot to raise the minimum wage to $15 plus tips. You’ll be sending these postcards to voters who have signed the petition to let them know that they need to vote NO on Issue 1 in August, so that the minimum wage increase can get on the ballot and pass. You do need to pay for the postcards but then you’ll receive everything you need—cards, addresses, and a script. Sign up here.
Blue Ohio is having their monthly Brown Bag lunch TOMORROW at noon ET to talk all about Issue 1. To attend you do need to sign up to be a monthly donor, but if you’re on this list I’m assuming you might care enough about fixing Ohio to do just that. This is David Pepper’s organization and it’s amazing.
Activate America just launched phonebanking! It starts this Monday, July 10th, at 3 PM Pacific / 6 PM Eastern, and will continue every Monday and Wednesday through to Election Day. You can RSVP HERE. They have amazing trainers and a great dialer!
Also, I moved the Ohio resource doc over to Google docs. I’ve decided I hate Notions. Find it here—there’s loads of new stuff on it.
More soon, y’all!
