READY TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS YEAR'S ELECTION?
We'll have a LOT more for election protection for you very soon, but you may be interested in the City Commissioners' event coming up next Thursday. See the details below!
Are you a long-time poll worker - go and be recognized! And if you're interested in learning more about it, you can go and find out what it's all about. This is a really important role in keeping our elections safe, so you can be part of it!
And you can sign up to be a poll worker with the PA Dems. They are doing trainings 
SIGN UP TO BE A POLL OBSERVER
Poll Observers are the eyes and ears on the ground at polling places across the state on election day. They assist voters and ensure that every eligible voter can cast a ballot. The PA Dems Voter Protection Team will train, assign, and support you to make sure that you are as effective as possible on Election Day. It's great work so we hope you'll consider it!
Sign up here with the PA Dems for the training and to learn more.
SIGN UP FOR INDIVISIBLE'S ELECTION PROTECTION TRAINING SERIES
Indivisible has started it's Hands Off Our Vote program to protect the midterm elections. Last week, the Senate confirmed election-denier Jay Clayton to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Trump has another lapdog to carry out the dirty work of election interference. We will work to counter their chaos with robust preparation to block election subversion.
If you’re ready to jump in headfirst, check out their Election Protection 101 and 201 trainings later this month and the toolkit to get involved. Remember, if you sign up but can't attend live, you'll receive the recording and all the information from the meeting.
BRING THE EPSTEIN FILES TO PHILLY!
Want to make sure the Epsteiin Files stay front of mind for our elected officials? Let's bring the files to Philly! Have you heard about the Trump Epstein Bookmobile? It's the ingenious project in which the founders copied all of the Epstein file documents released so far, printed them out - all 3.5 million files, and loaded them into notebooks. They have been on view for people who come to the building where they were housed in New York City.
But now, they are on the road in a truck! They are visiting cities around the country and you can vote for them to come to Philadelphia so the public can view them here. It's every page they released, and a demand for every page they still won't. See what they're covering up. It's important that the public sees at least some of them so we can push our elected officials to get the rest released. We don't what any of them to forget about this massive injustice! Here's the link for more info and to vote!
