The stakes couldn't be higher in 2018.
Our districts aren't fair: All over the country, congressional lines are unfairly drawn by political insiders and politicians interested solely in their own reelection.
Our representatives aren't accountable: Elected officials continue to vote for this administration's dangerous policies, hurting millions of Americans.
And our states will soon be voting on issues that can help people
right now, with efforts to expand Medicaid, restore voting rights, and make our communities safer.
On November 6, 2018, we have a once-in-a-decade chance to fight back -- and our work starts right now.
Today, we're launching Organizing For '18 -- a new program that will turn grassroots energy into action between now and Election Day. Join Team '18.
Team '18 will bring together OFA's nationwide network of experienced supporters and volunteers to make a difference all across the country.
We're focused on three goals:
- Electing better representatives. Too many Republican representatives have failed us. They've supported this administration's efforts to sabotage Obamacare, approved a massive tax scam that put billionaires over working families, and failed to take meaningful action on gun violence. We'll work to vote them out.
- Fighting gerrymandering. Partisan insiders and conservative politicians have rigged districts in their own favor. But after the 2020 census, states will redraw congressional maps -- and 2018's state-level elections will largely determine this process. We're strategically organizing in these races.
- Winning key statewide ballot initiatives. In many states this November, voters can make an immediate impact on ballot initiatives -- like Florida's effort to expand voting rights to 1.4 million more residents. We'll help educate voters in these states, and then get out the vote.
All of this is possible in 2018.
But it'll take a dedicated team -- and whether you live in a blue, red, or purple state, one thing is clear: There is work to be done.
We're gearing up for something big. Don't miss a second -- join Team '18 now, and make sure you're plugged in to receive the latest updates:
