i’m from NYC - adopted NC because it was definitely getting the least love in the beginning!

live in CA but adopted Florida.

Live in Maryland and adopted PA because it’s my closest swing state.

I adopted AZ because I live in CA and I wanted to travel there to volunteer. Even though that probably won't be an option - they have great candidates and a real opportunity to turn blue!

Mallory (she/hers) here from Portland, OR! I adopted Michigan because I felt like it has a strong chance of going blue and one of the companies I consult for is based there, so I get to hear a lot of stories about what it’s like on the ground! Plus, #MichiganHustlesHarder!

^^ MALLORY YES

Michigan hustles the HARDEST

Don’t share meme even to mock it

Inform the person that shared that it is wrong and provide facts. Report the post.

I don’t believe 75% of misinformation is from authentic people. My upset reaction seems like the point most of the time

can you put that app in the chat

Doesn't commenting on misinformation still amplify it?

Yes @gregg

More people showed up to the march than the inauguration

maybe they should have relationally organised the inauguration the way we did the march

LOL Dima!

we love to see!!

I don't believe in staying silent, when things are going wrong (I don't mean something that I don't like).

I want my life to have meaning and impact

Growing up in DC & being disenfranchised

A sense of duty and what’s right

I will blame myself if I do nothing

The death of my child, being persecuted due to my religion and background and travel/living abroad are the three biggest things for me

Being Bi-racial and never feeling like you don’t fit in

I'm the daughter and wife of immigrants and a mom of two

We are making history

Growing up with hippie parents and liberal values in a rural area

My empathy for others makes me feel their own struggles deeply, so I must help improve life for everyone.

My privilege and education have enabled me to be an effective agitator

Accountability, responsibility, empathy, raising children, privilege, travel…

I want my voice to be heard. Being a mom, Being a lawyer, being female, being divorced, my education, my age, born into politics. supporting the underdog

I’ve learned through my life experiences that the more people who have opportunities to succeed means a better life for every person

This gay, sober, New Yorker is terrified of another 4 years of Trump. Covid negligence resulted in the death of my sister in law and the collapse of NYC (but we're coming back!)

I believe in diversity, acceptance, and tolerance. Whatever I can do to promote these values

Love Russ!

Having two daughters and knowing what they would face if I didn't fight for them. Studying WW2 in college and knowing what happens when people stay silent. My grandfather getting a hernia repaired so he could fight in WW2 gave me a clear sense of the responsibility I had to my country and my community.

Growing up in a very conservative area with closed minded people. I knew at 10 I had to leave and find a life more suited to who I wanted to be. I didn’t know what that meant, but I knew i had to make it happen. 8 years later I moved to NYC and started to grow and learn!

I truly believe: no one is equal, until everyone is equal

Amanda I love the Bobby Kennedy poster!!! :))

Angela <3

being nicaraguan American , coming to states changed the course of my life, first generation

Been there….amazing story!! Thank you!!

You're incredible, Angela!

Living with a debilitating chronic illness from a young age. Values of "not for self" (non-sibi) instilled in me from my high school which gave me a community. Wanting to make people I admire proud. And also I have time and want to stay grounded during these very uncertain times (fires, pandemic, I'm losing my health insurance when I turn 26 in a few months).

Angela is a QUEEN!

I grew up in DFW, TX around a lot of conservative folks and really witnessed a lot of hypocrisy - that combined with having parents who really pushed the idea of treating others as we want to be treated was eye opening. Now I’m a single mother and sole proprietor of a small business, and I see the need for support for working families - the need to overcome inequality is REAL. Finally, both of my sis-in-laws are nurses (one of whom has Type 1 Diabetes) and so the mishandling of COVID feels SUPER urgent.

coming of age as a gay teen during 8 years of Reagan, being villainized by him and Jesse Helms, while they ignored the AIDS crisis turned me into an activist

Sharing your story will make you a more effective organizer

Build bridges... connect with one another.

Makes you vulnerable and make a connection with someone

Anytime I have been discriminated because of my gender....it has made me more aware of my responses and acceptance of any other races and nationalities

to be open to others beside me

How can we spot misinformation? Easy to say everything from Fox news is fake but…people watch it. How do we spot the fake articles?

1 — social media (facebook & twitter) are actually now doing a decent job of pointing these things out… it often says “fact check”

How does this connect to fighting misinformation?

Facebook has not fact-checked any QAnon pages, yet has with Joe Biden ads, so no…I wouldn’t trust facebook

Are we connecting 1-1 so that we can build a trusted network to amplify the truth and combat misinformation?

Makes sense

Erin knows whats up!

Got it!

That’s definitely happened to me. A friend talked to me because she believed COVID wasn’t a valid excuse in NY for absentee/VBM. I sent her the .gov page that explicitly said that. Funny how a lot of these things will happen organically

She believed that because of some post, but couldn’t recall where

A couple weeks ago it wasnt valid, could that have been it?

It was valid in NY in the primary, and is still listed on the website as a valid excuse

Wisconsin has cheese

Bullet #2

it was valid in NY primary and is valid in the general.

Please adopt more than one state. You can do it. I have adopted Arizona and North Carolina

I phonebank, text, and post cards to both states

Let’s build a new myth: Voting is the new Patriotism!

post crads?

Thank you Stephen! I'm in NYC and I have been looking for an official source that the pandemic is still a valid absentee reason

Is there a best way to go about debunking a source?

Let’s DO IT! Can we share a screen shot of the plan recap on social media (or do you have something like it we could share)? I mentioned to a friend that I was doing this workshop today and she was like PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE DEETS!

Thank you, this was very helpful!
