The Rabble | Texas Politics for the Unruly Mob

Only 11 more days until Election Day, and early voting is going on now through October 30! We gotta make these last days count.

TODAY'S ACTION:

Okay, we are nervous about what these early voting numbers are saying about who is driving the huge turnout in Texas... we aren't getting young folks and new voters out at high enough rates if we really want to flip this state. So we need to recruit our friends to volunteer so we can turn out ALL the votes!!

We are down to the last 2 weekends to volunteer, and we love the resources and volunteer opportunities Swing Left has to offer: https://swingleft.org/p/the-last-weekends?utm_medium=tlws_redirect

Invite your friends to join you!

Don't have time to volunteer? Donate to the Swing Left Immediate Impact Fund, which will be split between a bunch of awesome candidates in Texas.
Know anyone who hasn't voted yet and might some additional info? Send 'em our voter guide: https://www.rousertx.com/2020-ballot-shortcut

Only 14 more days until Election Day, and early voting is going on now through October 30! Who else is feeling sweaty???

TODAY'S ACTION:

Ooookay, Election Day is officially 2 weeks from today. If you have friends who haven't volunteered yet, now is the time to bring them into the fold! OUR dear friend Cari Marshall (the mastermind behind Flip the Texas House) has organized a "Friend Bank" for two of our favorite candidates tonight from 6-7pm -- Wendy Davis and Julie Oliver.

Here's what Cari says:

"We're throwing a socially distanced party on video chat while we turn conversations we're already having with people we already know into our secret weapon for putting Julie and Wendy in Congress!"

This is the most effective kind of organizing, and we can't wait to join here: https://www.mobilize.us/julieoliverforcongress/event/352482/
Whatcha doin' tomorrow night? We really want you to come to our series finale of "In the House" this coming Wednesday at 6:30pm CT, in partnership with Swing Left! It's gonna be a big ol' Texas House Party with comedy, music, art, and a bunch of sheroes, including MJ Hegar!

Only 15 more days until Election Day, and early voting is going on now through October 30! Just over 2 weeks to impact this election.

TODAY'S ACTION:

Texas is experiencing record voter turnout during early voting, but we're a little concerned that our most progressive counties are not at the very top of the list when it comes to percentage turnout compared to 2016. For Texas to flip, we need to have massive turnout in our blue-est counties -- Travis and Harris.

People who aren't confident voters have a lot of questions and need extra info to actually get them to the polls. The way they get that info? Volunteers call them, text them, or put handouts on their doors. We need to be those volunteers! The best way we've found to make ourselves follow through with volunteering is to get a democracy buddy to hold us accountable. Find your democracy buddy and sign up together to volunteer with your local county Democratic party -- they will have the best ways to plug you in where you live. Just Google your county's name and "Democratic party."

Or message us @therabbletx if you need help!

More on turnout in Texas.

It's Day 15 of The Rabble podcast's Daily Democracy Challenge, where we count down 46 days of impactful-yet-achievable action items to flip Texas and elect our 46th president.

Only 31 more days until the election and 10 more days until early voting!

TODAY'S ACTION:

Today is all about what some are calling the most important environmental race in the country -- Texas Railroad Commissioner (which actually has nothing to do with railroads and everything to do with oil and gas regulation). We're excited to attend a virtual fundraiser tonight for an awesome candidate -- Chrysta Castañeda. Plus, Erin Brockovich is going to speak! The event is at 5pm and you can get your ticket here: https://bit.ly/3ngxV7g

If you can't attend the event, please do take a few minutes to learn about Chrysta and why the railroad commission is so important. And then share what you learned! I'm scared that without straight-ticket voting people will skip races like this that they might not know about.

Here's a great video about Chrysta: https://www.facebook.com/ChrystaForTexas/videos/437130960532402/
Here's an article about why this position is so important for the environment: https://newrepublic.com/article/158981/chrysta-castaneda-texas-railroad-commission-2020-election-climate
