States are leading the way -- let's help them right now. HILLARY CLINTON.

David -- Democrats have spent the last two years connecting with voters, defining the stakes, and coming together to create lasting change that capitalizes on our momentum and helps strengthen our institutions for decades to come. Because of this incredible work, we’ve flipped 44 seats from red to blue across the country since 2017. But we still have so much opportunity ahead of us -- in 2018 alone nearly 800 state legislators will be elected. State legislature races are also a great way to make an impact as an activist. The budgets and walk lists are smaller than those of congressional races, so you can move the needle with a few volunteer hours or donations. There are many organizations doing great work in the states, but I'd like to highlight three in particular—including two groups that Onward Together is proud to work with! Volunteer with Flippable States write the rules of our elections—including national ones. States pass policies that impact our lives and states prepare leaders to run for national office. The people we elect to state House and state Senate wield tremendous political power. From drawing district maps to deciding who gets access to Medicaid, state representatives have the power to make—or break—our democracy. Flippable works to maximize our impact by aiming to flip whole chambers (e.g. a state’s Senate or House), not just individual seats. They focus on states with the worst gerrymandering and voter suppression, because these states have the biggest effect on national politics. In 2018, they’re targeting Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin, Texas, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona, & North Carolina. Volunteer with Sister District Sister District works to ensure that all Americans have equal representation and our government works for all people, not just the current minority in power. They organize volunteers into local teams based on where they live, and "sister" this deep blue energy with swing districts across the country to support strategic state races that matter. Sister District has a strategic, targeted focus on critical down-ballot, state races that—if we win—will make it easier to win national elections. Want to get involved? First, sign up! Then, Sister District will connect you with your home team. You’ll work together with your local team to fundraise, phone bank, postcard, text bank and, if you can, travel to the Sister Race community to knock on doors and get out the vote. Volunteer with the DLCC For over two decades, the DLCC has been working with state legislative leaders to invest strategically in state programs, which has led to Democrats flipping 44 seats since Trump's inauguration. The DLCC is building on Democrats’ winning momentum and continues to lay the groundwork for substantial gains in 2018 in statehouses nationwide. The DLCC will continue to partner with state caucuses and legislative leaders to recruit and train strong Democratic candidates to run in legislative districts around the country. The DLCC provides comprehensive resources that state Democrats need, including campaign expertise, a network of state leaders, access to data, field operations, and whatever else it takes to win. So many of the campaigns we see or read about in the news are national -- and while those are incredibly important, we can't forget about the importance of state races. In these final few weeks before Election Day, the time you give in your local community to help elect Democratic leaders to state legislature could be the final push that makes the difference in efforts to flip these seats to blue. Onward, Hillary

This is our moment to Get-Out-the-Vote. Jennifer Childs-Roshak, Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund.

Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts I’ve been thinking about this election for a long time, and now it is just 12 days away. I thought about it when I stood in a sea of pink hats on the Boston Common on that bright winter day. I thought about it every single time this administration tried to repeal or gut the Affordable Care Act. I thought about it when politicians in the U.S. Senate ignored several allegations of sexual assault and confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. And I thought about it this past weekend after learning the Trump administration was concocting plans to strip the transgender community of their basic dignity by erasing them under federal law.   I thought about this moment so many times. And now this moment is almost here – Election Day is approaching, and we need to make the most of it. Key races are close and too many people don’t have a plan to vote, don’t know who represents them, or feel their vote simply doesn’t matter. It’s up to us to remind voters that their voice is critical. We can’t elect strong reproductive rights advocates to the Massachusetts State House without each and every one of them. Searchingforreason.N, we have one chance to Get-Out-the-Vote the weekend before the midterm elections – and we need your help. Take action to turn out voters and elect local leaders who will defend our rights and break down barriers to health care. Will you volunteer next weekend to canvass, phone bank, and turn out voters in key districts across the state? With your help, we can unseat the most radical opponent of safe, legal abortion in the Massachusetts State House. And by knocking on a few doors, we can protect the transgender community from discrimination in Massachusetts with the Yes on 3 ballot campaign. Join us for Get-Out-the-Vote next weekend by filling out this form. Play a part in the historic 2018 midterms. Thank you for standing with Planned Parenthood patients, immigrants, survivors, transgender people and everyone who has been attacked by this administration. Now is the time to unite, show our power, and make sure all of us have the freedom and opportunity to lead a healthy, full life. Our moment has come. Let’s make the most of it.   Sincerely, Jennifer Childs-Roshak, MD, MBA President Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts @DrJenCR P.S. Forward this email to your friends and family and invite them to come along! Canvassing is great with a buddy. Visit our website.
