Crucial times call for Action

GAME CHANGERS ROCK!
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised approximately 84% of our ambitious $100,000 goal, including matching dollars. This is an amazing accomplishment for our Game Changers Giving Circle! Let’s finish strong!
And donors to The Game Changers have written over 4,800 Get-out-the-Vote post cards to Michigan. If you want to help, click on Postcards to Swing States, select Michigan and start writing! Research shows postcards can increase turnout and make a difference in tight races. Join us!
UPDATE ON SELECTED MICHIGAN RACES
As an outcome of the primary elections on August 3rd, The States Project has finalized the districts we will focus on to achieve our goals:
For the House: 11 races (Eight women, three men; four incumbents, seven red seats to flip.) We must net four seats to gain control of the House!
For the Senate: 7 races (Three women, four men; four incumbents and three red seats to flip.) The goal is to maintain or grow our one-seat Senate majority.
This represents an increase of six districts from the original plan, demonstrating there are more viable paths to victory. Still, all of these races will be highly competitive so our support matters more than you might imagine. For more detail, click on THE MICHIGAN DISTRICT DECK.
An Exclusive Opportunity
We invite you to join us for an exclusive conversation with Michigan State Senate Majority Leader and candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Winnie Brinks. As we approach the final stretch to the November elections, Senator Brinks will share insights into the efforts of The States Project and the State Democratic Party to reach our goals.

GET IN THE GAME
Your preparedness for our midterm elections can make a real difference. Sign up to be a poll worker, election observer, or translator at your local clerk's office. Volunteer with a campaign or a nonprofit working to protect voting access. Check on neighbors who may need a ride to the polls or help requesting a ballot. Whatever lane you pick, doing something beats doing nothing. Action is the antidote to anxiety!
Onward to November!
