Hello Ventura Indivisians!
We hope you’ve taken a moment to pat yourself on the back. This past week was monumental (and freaking exhausting!) and everyone did their part – we should be proud of ourselves!
Everyone’s hard work got us this far. We are soooo close. Please find a way to help and push us over the finish line. Here are our best suggestions (so far!):
CA-25 US Congress is too close to call! Connect with voters whose ballots need additional information to be counted. Encourage them to “cure” the problem with their ballots and to return them to the Registrar of Voters.
PHONEBANK Sign up here!
DOOR KNOCK CAMPAIGN Join in here! Connect with voters at the door in required PPE and maintaining distance. Driving will be required. It’s an easy process
Let’s help Georgia flip the US Senate!

- NAACP Georgia. This nonpartisan branch is quite active in getting voters to the polls, including a partnership with Lyft to facilitate voting. Donate here.
- Galeo. A nonpartisan group building civic engagement in the Latino community. Their substantial voter registration arm aims to make sure that all eligible Latinos are both registered and turn out. Donate here.
- The New Georgia Project. A well-regarded effort to register and engage voters, credited with enrolling over 500,000 people. Though officially a nonpartisan 501(c)3, NGP is associated with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. They will be out in force for the next two months. Donate here.
