"GOTV!"---Get Out The Vote! Are we aware that this is not something that can wait until November
of 2022? Or October? Or September? Or August?
Republicans in states throughout the nation are busy NOW making it more difficult to vote, "unregistering" our people and even preparing to intimidate those they believe might "vote wrong". Obviously, we also need to be TAKING ACTION NOW to make sure our people DO "get out and vote".
Some folks want to vote, but need help in registering or confirming that they are STILL registered.
Some need to be educated about polling place and precinct changes, i.e., they need to be instructed as to exactly WHERE they can vote.
In view of the way some Republicans try to move polling places to distant areas not well-served by public transportation, we need to be recruiting vaccinated volunteers NOW who will drive voters to the correct polling place on election day.
GOTV is not just an acronym; it is a process. It takes planning. It takes work. It takes educating the majority of citizens who want to---as Spike said, "Do The Right Thing".
NOW.

The stakes are drastically high, and cannot be fought with electoral politics as usual.
Denying the risks to participatory democracy won’t make those risks go away.
Pelosi knows the stakes
Schumer knows it
Schiff knows it
Klobuchar knows it
And other elected and prominent Dems all know what the stakes are.
I get it, folks are exhausted, need a break after the Trump years, COVID, etc. but if democracy is to survive, complacency and denial are our enemies.
The fight is NOW, in the streets of WV and AZ if needed.(what are your plans for summer vacation? 
)
As the folks at Crooked Media (run by former senior Obama staffers) say:
“Without HR1, we’re fucked”
If you’d like to know what you can do, RIGHT NOW, to do your part (besides voting) to save democracy, watch this video:
