Do some texting or calling for Senate candidates in key races around the country. Last weekend, I texted for Senate candidate Rev. Ralph Warnock, who’s running in the special election in Georgia. He is amazing, and people were so nice. Such a positive experience that left me energized and ready for more.

Adopt a House race here in New Jersey -
Andy Kim in particular could really use your help. In 2018, he won by less than 4000 votes, and once again, it’s going to be the closest House race in the country. Republicans are afraid of him, and are spending lots of $$$ on this race. We can beat them with people power!
