I’m in Arizona and so many of us are mobilized for Ruben and the Abortion rights amendment. Feeling pretty positive here. I’m so indebted to all the grassroots groups here and all around the country! Thank you. And thank you for further motivating people. I left Cincinnati in 2005 but remember you from city council. Thanks for all the speaking you are doing!

I loved reading about groups on the other side of the country engaged in similar work to our group which is based in NY but has members around the country. Your piece reminds me of Rebecca Traister's piece in New York Magazine this week. https://www.thecut.com/article/kamala-harris-women-movement-voters-organizers-grassroots-fundraising.html There are thousands of groups like ours and the ones that you spoke to in California who mostly fly under the radar of the national media. But we fueled the Blue Wave of 2018, Biden's victory (and the Georgia Senate victories of 2020), the failure of the Red Wave to materialize in 2022, and we are going to help Democrats win up and down the ballot in 2024. Looking forward to hearing from you, Rebecca Traister, and many others at our upcoming 24-hour postcard marathon! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/24-hours-in-24-our-freedoms-are-on-the-ballot-postcard-around-the-clock-tickets-998091637957
