SUMMARY:Inside Ground Truth: How We Win in 2026 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Trump and MAGA aren’t invincible. Together\, we can stop their assault on our democracy\, our neighbors\, and our future. You’ve stood up this year—from protesting en masse to driving huge Democratic wins at the ballot box. The 2026 midterms are our next big chance to unseat Republicans\, win back power at the federal level\, and reverse the creep of authoritarian politics. \nFlipping the House is step one in checking this administration’s agenda and building toward a full-fledged Democratic trifecta in 2028. Join this virtual strategy session with Swing Left to hear our plan to win and how you can join the fight. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nThe Path to a Majority: The swing districts we’re targeting to flip the House and break Republican control in Washington.\nDeep Dive on “Ground Truth:” Swing Left’s innovative new program that’s changing how we talk with voters\, including those left out of traditional outreach. We’re using a new canvassing app to start early\, knock on every door\, and listen deeply to understand what voters truly care about. Then\, we’re analyzing and sharing valuable insights campaigns can actually use to build trust\, win votes\, and defeat their GOP opponents.\n\nIf you’re ready to continue the smart\, strategic work we need to win\, this call is for you. RSVP to be part of a growing community of hope-filled action takers ready to win elections in 2026 and beyond.

SUMMARY:Mad Hatter Virtual Political Hat Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Mad Hatter Political Hat Making Workshop with activist Victoria Ryan. Victoria was the Executive Director of Love Is The Answer non-profit in Contra Costa County until recently. In that role\, every week\, she made a fun and inspiring hat from her garden to use in a variety show she hosted on zoom.\n\nShe is now dedicating her time to helping fellow activists step up their game in designing and making attractive hats to wear at rallies that promote messages for democracy. All you need is a sun hat or baseball cap\, a few simple materials and you can make a hat that stands out in the sea of protesters in the coming months. When you RSVP\, you will receive a zoom link and the week before the workshop you will receive a list of materials and supplies you will need.
