Election Day countdown: 11 days
Hi Friends,
This is it. 50 million Americans have already voted. We will win when we all vote and spend the time we can to make sure others do too.
We have identified 15 young, down ballot candidates, running in critical swing districts that could determine whether or not both former Vice President Biden wins their state and we take back the Senate. Will you join me by signing up to volunteer for one of them?
Let’s not have any regrets on November 4th.
Highlights
Alec Baldwin is joining The Next 50’s Nikhil Goyal to help flip Long Island blue, in support of Jackie Gordon and Nancy Goroff who are running in some of the most competitive congressional races.
Julianna Margulies and Thomas Sadoski joined us to support New York State Senate candidates Michelle Hinchey and The Next 50 endorsed candidate Samra Brouk.
The Next 50 co-hosted an event with our partners Blue Neighbors, featuring U.S. Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, to help turn the Georgia State Legislature blue, .
I will join the 92nd Street Y, NowThis, and a group of esteemed panelists on Monday, October 26th at 5pm ET, to discuss engaging young voters .
What we are reading
Pandemic election: “While voting in person is relatively safe, registered Democrats have requested absentee ballots at two to three times the rate of Republicans, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State. If a surge in COVID-19 cases limits turnout on Election Day, it could depress the GOP vote more significantly.” (The Atlantic)
In partnership and with gratitude,
Zak
