Quick update

At our meeting this Sunday at 4:30 we’ll finalize our slate.

Meanwhile, I have lots of T.J. Cox addresses for anyone who wants some. Postcards on the porch. Email me for addresses.

Finally, we will be swapping in a new campaign for our thermometer so let’s do a final push for our two North Carolina candidates before our meeting.

Agenda for today 4:30-5:30

Big event! Today we will decide on the Elmwood Invisible Slate, combining Sister District recommendations and Andy’s analysis to figure out which are the races that we can have the most impact on and how (from local house races up through Senate) . Bring your ideas and we’ll hash this out together. Our past record is really good—let’s see if we can help some just under-the-radar elections to win on our way to White House and then win them. Also on the agenda, some reports of works in progress and resources.

This is it. What we are doing today is what we are going to do in the future. Given that, how do we organize and map our efforts?

  1. Postcards. We have 1000 postcards in our living room. Distribution ideas. Andy’s comments on the most important campaigns.
  2. Texting. Did Committoflip help? What else can we do to get those who want to text, texting?
  3. Phone calling. The psychology of letting it ring. How did today go and who wants more for the future?
  4. Letter writing (including Indivisible’s support). Should we have a group goal?
  5. Fundraising. Time to shift our website campaign. What next?

Sad news

I wanted to let everyone know that we have been in touch with Jeff who we have not seen in a while and we learned that his wife Noemi died earlier this year. Here is a link to the article about her in Berkeleyside and here is his address for anyone who wants to write a note: Jeff Grund, 2706 Ashby #2, Berkeley 94705.
