Michele Obama gave us our instructions: DO SOMETHING!

Let's go all in for the win!

The Democratic Party has come to its senses and given us a chance to put a stake in MAGA, the Trump cult, and Republican control in DC. We don't have to live with fear and anxiety -- and possibly worse -- for the rest of our lives. We can go forward toward greater freedom for all.

We can elect Harris-Walz and even a Democratic Senate and House if we do the work this fall.

There are multiple places to do this work. All us can contribute somewhere, with money and labor.

I want to urge you to join the campaign I've had the privilege to work with for the last three elections: organized hospitality workers -- members of UniteHERE/the Culinary Union -- in Reno, Nevada. Nevada is one of the seven battleground states which can give the victory to Harris-Walz. The margins are tiny there; in 2022, an 8000 vote Democratic margin in the Reno area literally made the difference in re-electing a Democratic woman U.S. Senator, Catherine Cortez-Masto.

Seed the Vote is organizing and training election volunteers for this campaign. Sign in through this website and they'll make sure your time and effort is not frittered away in disorganized meetings and unclear instructions.

We can do this. We've turned Nevada Blue repeatedly statewide since 2016 -- Nevada can come through again for Harris-Walz!

PS -- you can keep me from asking you over and over by letting me know what you are doing for this election in comments. I'm serious about asking this. Democracy is not a spectator sport.
