Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

Hi, Faye Hezar from Orange County CA

To break that fever, we need House Democratic leadership now that would’ve been eager to impeach Trump again rather than reluctant and that would’ve called witnesses to the second impeachment that the Senate approved.

Or Speaker D. Rump!

That even inspires us in AZ

Happy you're here Arizona!

Thanks @Linda.

Sorry for the post of links. unintended

Go Flip The 14 - great work! Flipped 49 down here where I am - calling in from Kumeyaay Territory ( NorthSanDiego) Thanks Jared!

Great speaker! Thanks!

Primary elections are nearly here. What in particular are Democrats going to do to hone messages that will entice the media to cover the fact that the obstruction of Republicans have blocked enactment of policies that most Americans support? That focus has been missing.

That was great, thank you.

Want to help turn red to purple as well...like the fringes of the State of Jefferson?

As we transition to the rest of the presentation, remember to use the Q&A feature to ask questions. On most computers, it’s a button on the bottom right.

Go Mike and keep the 49!

Also LIsa Bartlett!!!!!!

HI Leslie!

Everything that got the oil spill

Valadao voted to impeach

Very dangerous district to lose - right on my doorstep here in LB

ouch on those numbers

faux news has a lot of native Asian-language channels broadcasting to Asian communities. that's the only version of the news that some English non-native speakers get

looks like a southern appendage to the State of Jefferson....

Remind to send all questions to the Q&A button. On most computers it’s on the bottom right of the video screen.

Will we be able to get slide deck emailed. Such good information, but it went by too fast for me to take notes.

Yes! We will be sharing these slides with attendees.

What are your thoughts on CD3, Dem Dr Kermit Jones vs R Kevin Kiley and R Scott Jones??

No competitive Senate race.

I am also curious about CA-03 and Dr. Jones

Scott, click “Q&A” at the bottom of your screen (on computers) to open the Q&A box. There, you’ll see Andre’s response about CD3.

California is so important to the House. We lost 2 incumbents in 2020.

Can you fund to pay local volunteers. In the Central Valley, local people going door to door is very effective, but the young people may not be able to volunteer without pay.

California is great place to train folks in the primaries, and then move to another paid job where needed elsewhere in the country...

Re improving messaging, have you heard about Galvanize, a research and advocacy group that uses neuroscience to develop micro focused messages to women? They also use deep canvassing. They have webinars coming up that are open to activists and progressive organizations. https://www.galvanizeaction.org/

Glad to see inclusion of people toward the left side of the political spectrum (or not really categorizable) and not just “swing” voters

Among those who don’t usually vote, I mean

Re: paying canvassers in the Central Valley. Central Valley Matters has done fundraising for this purpose. Their website will be up in another couple of weeks.

My understanding is that Central Valley matters includes: Dolores Huerta Foundation, Valley Voices, and Valley Forward. It's possible to donate directly to any of those 3 groups. One is a 501c3, two are 501c4's.

These groups are doing voter registration and canvassing in their various areas, within the limits of their c3 or c4 status.

CVM may not be working in all of the Central Valley House districts?

Yes, Pat we will be sure to circulate a recording!

Can you put the donation link in the chat ?

You can donate here, thanks! —> https://www.activateamerica.vote/donate

My notes on Central Valley Matters say: Dolores Hureta Foundation is Kern County. Valley Forward is West Fresno. Valley Voices is Kings County. Their focus is on the area which was formerly CD21.

Just donated $100!

is it tax deductable?

Sandra, no, contributions to support or oppose candidates are not tax deductible.

Central Valley Matters is a GREAT group coordinating closely with those 3 Central Valley groups and fundraising right now mostly for CA-22 but they might do work in other districts as well. If you’re interested in helping to flip CA-22, do support CVM. ALSO, Swing Left Peninsula is holding a fundraiser for hiring DACA canvassers in the Central Valley on March 10th: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/cvwc0310

Contributions to us are not tax deductible

How formal does a group need to be to participate?

That was so interesting and inspiring - thanks everyone!

Outstanding! Looking forward to sharing this info with a number of people in this area who are active volunteers.

FYI—There is an excellent and nuanced Mother Jones article on the SF School Bd. Recall. Takeaway: voters care more about performance than performative practice.

To help close the R+ reg advantage and increase overall turnout in CA40 inland foothill communities, our District Coalition is interested in IE investment for persuadable environmental voters in partnership with OC Conservation Voters/Green Roots targeted R & DNS voters who have history of crossing over for environmental voters - how can we proceed with the IE Roundtable?

Ronnie, I don't see my message in the chat so I may not have hit send. I'm wondering if you can come out to Rossmoor, that has the biggest Democratic club in the country, to do a live presentation now that things are opening up? Bart and I might be able to help arrange it.

So glad to hear about the state table. Donated.

Thanks Tricia! <3

What's the exact name of the California Roundtable group you mentioned?

The California Roundtable is great!

Just donated. https://activateamerica.vote/donate

Does "being on the offensive" in CA mean we can get rid of McCarthy already?

Holding the Senate means Biden-Harris appointments, particularly judicial, can get approved. Both are crucial, though, because if the R’s win the House, the Administration probably won’t be able to pass any legislation.

This has been a REALLY GOOD webinar! Thanks to all of you folks.

Are members of the Roundtable called knights? 😉

Yes, holding the House is very important for Judicial and Cabinet appointments. I didn’t mean to dismiss that.

Holding the Senate I mean

Great presentation! Thanks! Will look forward to getting link to video and slide deck to review and share.

Great presentation, Team AA!!! And yes, conveying optimism is crucial. Thanks.

Inspired, I just donated too. Good organization with intelligent plans. Monthly donation too.

I find these Zoom calls very motivating. Great information, great slides, great presentations. It's great to feel hope! Thank you!

And yes, just gave a “stretch” donation.

Do you coordinate with Indivisible East Bay?

informative presentation, Thank you!

I donated, more than I had planned to tonight. Ask big and go big! You all are very inspiring. Thanks for giving me hope.

For those of you new to Activate America, we have been with them since they were Flip the 14 and they are the best and most effective! I recommend you put all our your energy and dollars behind them as we have decided to do!

Very good webinair!

Thank you! Great presentation, wonderful discussion.

Thank you - great webinar!

Thank you so much for the excellent presentation and strategy. I so appreciate your work

I think if Omicron turns around, which it looks like it’s doing, and they break up Build Back Better and pass some pieces, Biden will look better in the polls. I also think that most of America is moderate, and we gain by stressing the moderate policies, e.g. Refund not Defund the police.

Thanks so much for this webinar. This is how democracy works…it’s up to each of us. Thanks form coordinating this via AA! Hi Doug!

Thank you ALL!!

Thanks for link to messaging source!!!

It’s here: https://communitychange.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/C3-Messaging-This-Moment-Handbook-1.pdf

Thanks for the link, Donald!

It could use an update based on current circumstances and maybe that update exists and I’m just now aware of it. I was responding to someone referencing the author and something called “Words to Win” which I need to look up.

Great presentations and discussion!!! Lots of people need to see/hear!

Thanks everyone, Great info!

Is there a link to Anat's biweekly briefings?

Fired up?

Anat Shenker-Osorio's web page is https://www.asocommunications.com/team

Thanks Doug and Ronnie and your great team! We can do this!!

Will use this with several groups!

Know how much I appreciate you and all on this call!
