Week 4 Fighting 46th Organizing Challenge!

March 31, 2021

I’m a Kenmore City Councilmember who is relatively new to politics. Before I ran for office, I didn’t know that my voice could make a difference, or that there was a place for it to be heard. Through joining the 46th I’ve learned my voice matters and there are people in our community who are working very hard on behalf of our district to bring forward winning Democratic candidates and policies. The 46th provided me with the support I needed to win my race for City Council. We all need to participate in our democracy at the local level to ensure our core values of environmental stewardship, climate action, accessible healthcare for all, social services, and educational needs are met locally and nationally. You make a difference here. Your voice matters and we want to hear it. - Kenmore City Councilmember Melanie O'Cain

Four weeks in and we are really picking up speed. If you haven't plugged in yet we still have 6 more weeks of the Fighting 46th Organizing Challenge and it's anyone's game!

Want a great way to connect with Democrats in your neighborhood? Join our phonebank! We have identified a list of reliably strong democratic voters who share our values and support our candidates, the only things they are missing is you! You reaching you and making the "ask." Maybe a friendly invitation to one of our meetings is just the bridge they need from being a democratic supporter to being a card carrying member of the Democratic Party?

There are two ways to participate in the phonebank:

1. Join whenever you have some spare time! It is always available so you can make a few calls at your own convenience. Every call counts and no effort is too small.

Join the Phonebank Now!

2. Join us for office hours and make calls "together" over zoom, even though we can't all physically be together at this time. New to phonebanking or have a question? Drop in any time during the office hours window and one of our experienced volunteers will show you the ropes. This week office hours are TODAY, Sunday March 28th from 2pm - 4pm.

Week 3 Fighting 46th Organizing Challenge!

March 21, 2021

"The LDs are the direct connection between the voter and the Democratic Party. A strong LD is able to engage every neighborhood precinct by precinct, making sure that every community is heard and has a seat at the table. When you join your local LD, you become another plank in the bridge connecting communities to their representation and helping ensure the party, therefore, reflects the values and priorities of those communities it seeks to represent. We need all voices and views to shape the party of today and build the party of tomorrow." -Councilmember Girmay Zahilay

We made it to Week Three!!! All goals are reached one step at a time.

This week, can you commit to recruiting one new member for the 46th LD Dems?

Just one. It can even be you!

Getting started is always the hardest part, but if we can each find one friend, neighbor, or family member who shares our values and wants to see more Democrats elected to office, we will exceed all our goals.

Join Now!

If you have any questions or want to make calls together, please drop by our virtual office hours Sundays from 2 - 4pm.
