Today’s Action: Sign up to phone bank with Ohio’s Tim Ryan!
Democrat Tim Ryan is running a tight race against Trump’s hand-picked, flip-flopping lackey, JD Vance, for Ohio’s open Senate seat. While many Republicans consider the seat a safe bet, Ryan has a longstanding track record of fighting for working families in Ohio and is pulling in impressive progressive support from across the country. This is just one of several crucial races in November that could tip the balance of power in Congress.
The margin of error for keeping the House and Senate in Democrat hands is far too thin for comfort — but there are plenty of ways we can take action to ensure we keep power, including phone banking. Ohio Workers First Campaign is hosting a phone-banking session where Ryan will speak over Zoom before you get started, which is a perfect opportunity to hear directly from Tim what his campaign is all about. You don’t have to be a seasoned professional, just ready to show up and do good work. We are rapidly approaching Election Day; progressives must kick into overdrive to secure the future working America deserves.
The fight for a truly progressive future does not end with Tim Ryan in Ohio. There are committed Democratic candidates all across the country who need your help getting out the vote next month. You can filter through virtual phone- and text-banking events through Mobilize. So many critical issues are on the line this election, including reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, and justice reform — everything we’ve fought so hard for! It’s never been more important to get out the vote and work for real change in America. Join the fight and do your part today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition telling Elon Musk to not let Trump back on Twitter, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
