Take Action
STATES MATTER — NOW MORE THAN EVER
Our work is year-round. It requires a thoughtful, sustained effort to become educated, identify priorities, and develop strong relationships with grassroots organizers and national organizations that are on the ground. In 2025 we will continue to work in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, and we will be working on what many believe will be the first test of our efforts against the new regime: Virginia state-level races for Governor, Lt. Governor, and the House of Delegates. We’ll also work to protect the vote in all our states and to push back against voter suppression bills coming out of Washington.
Congress wants to suppress the vote! Make calls with Common Cause to mobilize voters to take action against the dangerous SAVE Act making its way through Congress. The SAVE Act threatens to make it harder for millions of Americans—especially students, seniors, and veterans—to cast their ballots. Training provided by Common Cause. Sign up here .
Pennsylvania
Help fight disinformation. Lean Left is partnering with Pennsylvania groups in tackling the disinformation that is flowing through social media. We are looking for researchers and writers to help gather stories of people living in PA who are being affected by MAGA policies. This work would require monitoring stories in community newspapers, items posted in Bluesky and Facebook, and possibly interviewing people. If you are interested, we’ll provide some more details and training. SIGN UP HERE. We’ll be in touch.Stay tuned . . .
Tax & Budget Fight Phone Banks. On two Thursdays in May, we are joining the People's Action Institute to talk to constituents in key congressional districts to take action to pressure Congress to stop the cuts and ensure the rich pay their fair share. No experience? No problem! The organizers will provide training at every phone bank to set you up for success. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or making your first call, you’ll be supported every step of the way. Dates May 1 and May 8, 6 to 9 PM SIGN UP HERE!
