Thousands of #PostcardsToVoters written. Phone calls made. Texts sent.

Thank you for all of your #grassroots support for our Bridges to the Local candidates. This is how we build the bench & ensure a #BlueWave across our nation.

Now one more ask: donate. A candidate who will stand up for all Texas children and their families. A candidate who entered politics determined to fight for access to education. A candidate focused on uplifting hardworking families.

3 meet-ups down, 2 more to go in our "Un-Trumping America" by @danpfeiffer virtual #BookClub. 📚

Here's a 🧵recapping Chapters 7 & 8.

TL/DR: sign up for Week 4 as we start "Part 3: How To Make America A Democracy Again", events.democrats.org/event/284418/. Q1: @danpfeiffer lays out 3 factors that pushes media in the “decidedly wrong direction”. 1 of those factors is Facebook. How can #Democrats utilize it appropriately to spread the democratic story/message?

A1: Only share stuff that spreads the democratic story/message. Period.

ICYMI: a Week 1 #BookClub recap of discussion on Chpts 1-4 of "Un-Trumping America" by @danpfeiffer.

Chpt 1: "Trump: an abomination, not an aberration.” How should this affect democratic framing and messaging?

A: Talk about values. "Protections" vs "regulations", ex: the ePa. Chpt 2: @danpfeiffer writes “Democrats respond to hope. To win elections, we need to inspire nonvoters to become voters.” Who or what is giving you hope for November 3rd?

A: #BlackLivesMatter protests, recent #SCOTUS decisions, dynamic & diverse local candidates.
