Prop 50 Vote YES Phone Bank – Protect California’s Voice!
2025-11-05 18:00 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | virtual, United States
Prop 50 Vote YES Phone Bank – Protect California’s Voice!
Event Description:
Join us to call California voters in support of Prop 50! This critical measure is a direct response to MAGA Republicans in Texas and other states who are gerrymandering congressional maps to lock Democrats out of power.
Prop 50 temporarily empowers the California Legislature to redraw maps for 2026–2030, ensuring fair representation, protecting voting rights, and giving California a stronger voice in Congress.
During this phone bank, volunteers will:
➡ Call California voters to raise awareness about Prop 50
➡ Explain why fair maps matter and how gerrymandering undermines democracy
➡ Provide key dates for Vote-by-Mail and early in-person voting
Why this matters:
➡ MAGA Republicans in other states are stacking the deck to weaken Democratic representation
➡ California could gain up to five additional House seats if Prop 50 passes
➡ Every conversation and every vote directly impacts national politics in 2026
Every call counts — your voice helps protect democracy and ensures California voters have fair representation!

Test the new Ground Truth phone bank program!
2025-11-09 13:00 - 15:00 | virtual, United States
Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth phone bank—designed to fix what’s broken in Democratic organizing. We’re testing an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters over the phone. Our goal: to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. This is our first-ever Ground Truth phone bank pilot, open to groups in the Swing Left community.
At this phone bank, we’ll:

Call all types of voters — not just those who vote like us.
Have real conversations that listen deeply to voters’ concerns.
Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach.

Don’t worry if it’s your first time—training, materials, and support are all provided.
You can join and call from just your phone, but we recommend being prepared with a tablet/laptop and earbuds as well!
––
About the program:
This isn’t traditional phone banking—it’s a whole new way of talking to voters. Together, we’ll gather authentic insights from communities, use cutting-edge tools to capture what we hear, and share it back with campaigns to strengthen their efforts.
Why we’re starting early: launching a year ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns are even off the ground.
How we’ll go big: calling every voter, not just the ones we normally rely on, so every conversation builds a more complete picture of the electorate.
How we’ll go deep: practicing empathetic listening and real conversations that uncover voters’ “ground truth,” not just checking boxes on a script.
Paid for by Swing Left, Swingleft.org, not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

You can tell your Electeds to Please Grow a Spine – Let’s Get Loud!
2025-11-13 14:00 - 15:00, 2025-11-17 14:00 - 15:00 | virtual, United States
You’re already calling your Senators and Representative every day. You’re going to protests every chance you get.
Is there anything else you can do?
As a matter of fact, there is! Post and amplify messages (on the social media platforms you’re already using) that tag your electeds about the things you just called them about. Urge ’em to vote yes or no on that bill or nomination. Thank them for standing strong when they do the right thing, or ask them to fight for you when they wimp out.
Why? Because people will see your posts and make their own posts to their electeds! Winner winner chicken dinner!
Finding all of your reps’ handles on different social media platforms and creating posts is hard, so we did it for you (on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Bluesky). Just fill in the blanks and click post!
Want to see how it works? Come to our fun training!
PleaseGrowASpine.org. Post personal messages to your reps every day. Search for #PGAS and amplify others doing the same. Repeat. Sleep soundly knowing you did everything you could!
(And yes, use your existing social media accounts or add more, we’ll explain it all!)

It Needs to Be Said - with Ben Wikler
2025-11-13 21:00 - 22:00 | virtual, United States
Ben – a champion of grassroots will discuss where we go from here.
This week Susan Wagner will be speaking with Ben Wikler, Chair Emeritus of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin (WisDems). As Chair from 2019-2025, he oversaw victories in 10 out of 13 statewide elections in the nation’s most closely divided state. WisDems drew national awards and recognition as the country’s premiere state political party, mobilized more than 100,000 people to volunteer for campaigns, grew to a team of hundreds, raised more than a quarter of a billion dollars, and played a pivotal role in flipping the state’s Supreme Court majority and ending its state legislative gerrymander. House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi described him as the “preeminent state party chair.”

14,483 people in Rep. David Schweikert’s district will lose access to health coverage because of Republican cuts to Medicaid in the Big Ugly Law.
17,500people in Rep. David Schweikert’s district will lose access to health coverage because of Republicans’ refusal to extend health care tax credits and Republicans’ new red tape.
