In the dwindling days between now and November 5, lawn signs are as plentiful as pumpkins and Halloween skeletons seem more like political statements than seasonal decorations. As the political ads, phone calls, and texts reach a crescendo, Community Change Action and Community Change Voters are doing everything we can to cut through the noise and connect directly with those who have the most at stake on Election Day, especially voters who are either outside of, or difficult to reach through, traditional canvass, phone, and mail tactics. We are getting close to our goal of 2 million conversations with voters, and we’ve secured more Harris candidate IDs (people who have committed to voting for Harris) than any other independent expenditure. You can read our analysis of the moment and follow our progress as we work with partners and local grassroots leaders to organize our way to victory today — and build the movement to win in years to come.
We also know that Nov. 5 will not be the end of this election season, and we are preparing for this, too. The opposition has primed their base to reject democraticnorms and use disinformation and even violence to ensure the outcome they want. We’ve all heard the stories about threats and harassment directed at local election officials, and examples of violence are already in the news. In the short term, we’re working with partners and communities to stand up to these threats. In the longer term, we continue to do the deep work of transforming the interlocking systems that perpetuate poverty and injustice to win a world defined by freedom.
