Still feeling that August summer JOY, but now? It’s September! Time to DO SOMETHING. A lot of somethings! Our events calendar is jam packed this week with opportunities to canvass, phone bank, text bank, and write letters. And more to come, watch this space!
First up:
We are hosting an in person Debate Watch party this Tuesday, September 10th from 8-11 pm. We will nosh, cheer on Harris, and get some Working America letters to swing state voters written too! All letter supplies will be provided. Sign up here!
Can’t make it? Want to host your own? Use the Working America link to sign up for your own letters! https://volunteer.workingamerica.org/
Speaking of joy, the volunteer kickoff was full of it! We are a people powered movement, and our volunteers are THE BEST. With the help of our very special guests Mikie Sherrill and Sue Altman, we got to honor a few of them with our new DO SOMETHING award!
NJ 11th for Change has been such an effective voice for the people of NJ’s 11th district because of our laser-like focus on NJ’s 11th district. Our 2024 POV is wider. Now we are looking at ALL of New Jersey. That means bringing our laser-like focus to electing Sue Altman in CD-7 and Andy Kim in the Senate. AND re-electing Mikie Sherrill here at home. AND electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! Let’s get to work. Let’s DO SOMETHING!
