We can’t win in November if we don’t do the work now. Sign up with Neighbor2Neighbor and mobilize your community. ![Headline from The Hill](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/s3.indivisibleguide.com/images/Screenshot_2024-05-29_at_10.44.19AM.png)
You may have seen this headline this morning, Indivisibles --
MAGA Republicans are favored to win the White House, House, and Senate -- which would mean a national abortion ban, the repeal of all Biden's climate policies, and likely the end of the Affordable Care Act as well as two more Trump justices on the Supreme Court.
That's according to new analysis The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, and it aligns with most recent polling.
BUT -- deep breath.
As the Decision Desk HQ results make clear, these predictions are just a snapshot of where things stand now. That means that it’s up to us to make the most of the next five months to talk to voters, make sure they know exactly what’s at stake this year, and that they’re fired up to vote against a future of MAGA extremism, and for our rights and our democracy.
Next week, we’re fully launching the most impactful voter contact tool we’ve ever developed, Neighbor2Neighbor, in key races across the country. Independent analysis shows it has the potential to shift the outcome of the election.
So, if you are in a swing state or target district (check here) and you’re ready to make the most of every single day from now until November 5, sign up right now during our pre-registration period, and we’ll send you everything you need to start reaching out to your neighbors on Friday, June 7.
If you’re not in one of those areas, we urgently need help to fund this nationwide operation and recruit volunteers to reach as many voters as possible. So please consider making a donation to help us save our democracy!
At its simplest, Neighbor2Neighbor (N2N) is a chance for volunteers to connect with other pro-democracy members of their community and make sure they vote.
It’s easy:
- Eligible volunteers sign up on our pre-registration page.
- Next Friday, we’ll follow up and send a list of 10 Democratic neighbors, a very simple script, and an optional printout to leave behind.
- Volunteers knock on their doors and have a brief conversation about voting.
That’s it. No hassle. No complicated app to download. Just a list of addresses and a brief conversation. That probably doesn’t seem all that different from conversations you’re already having with people in your neighborhood, and that’s the beauty of the tool.
One of the best motivators to hesitant or inconsistent voters is the knowledge that like-minded members of their community are voting too. With Neighbor2Neighbor, volunteers can have conversations with people they may have seen out on a walk, at the dog park, or at the grocery store who they’ll now know are already pro-democracy aligned. Instead of attempting to have conversations with complete strangers in other areas, N2N makes it possible to talk to people within volunteers’ own neighborhoods about shared issues and concerns.
This is the most effective form of voter contact we’re ever run, and we have the numbers to prove it. An independent study of our pilot program in 15 congressional races found Neighbor2Neighbor to be twice as effective as traditional canvassing and more effective than TV ads, yard signs, phonebanking, or any other tactic tested.
The study showed that it had a 1.1% effect on voter turnout. And while that number may seem tiny, keep in mind that the impact we need to win is even smaller:
The 2020 margin in Arizona? 0.3%
The 2020 margin in Georgia? 0.2%
The 2020 margin in Wisconsin? 0.6%
If you’re in an eligible area and are ready to get started, click here to complete your pre-registration for Neighbor2Neighbor. We will release doors to volunteers beginning on Friday, June 7, and we’ll send you everything you need to be able to start talking to voters right away.
If you're not in an eligible area, please consider a donation to support this work!
What we do today will make the difference on Election Day. You don’t want to wake up on November 6 and say, "I wish I’d done more." Join us now, and let’s do the work to win.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
P.S. We’ll also be sharing tons of opportunities to connect with voters virtually in the weeks ahead, if you’re not able to knock doors with Neighbor2Neighbor in your area. Register for our next national phonebank on Thursday, June 20, and help mobilize voters in key Senate races this year as part of our Majority Over MAGA Weekend of Action!
