Read MoreTHANK YOU for everything you have done to help GOTV and make these elections a success.
Every call you've made, every card you've written, every door you've knocked, every dollar you've donated, every conversation you've had, every post, every text, every tweet you've sent to encourage people to vote, to support candidates you know will do the right thing, to make sure every voice is heard.

Read MoreWe’re into the last stretch. Lots of people have already voted and more are still to vote. Some haven’t decided yet. GOTV campaigns will be at fever-pitch this weekend. What can you do to help?
With everything that has happened this last week, the issues of white supremacy, racism, hatred and violence have been brought to the fore. We have to make it clear that this kind of behavior is not acceptable in the US. We must do this at the polls.
So, although turnout for the last midterm elections in MN was less than 50%, let’s make sure it’s different this time. Let's turn out for these midterms in HUGE numbers, and let’s get others to do the same.
Read MoreThere are some really innovative ideas coming out of these elections aimed at helping voters get to the polls to vote on November 6th.
Read MoreExciting new art-driven GOTV campaign is hitting the streets NOW. The focus? New voters. Have you seen the posters in your community yet?
