1. Are You Ready to Pledge to Take Action for the Midterms?

Now is the perfect time to get involved as we head into the final months before the November midterms. Remember, California mail-in ballots will begin to arrive in *October*. So there is no time to waste.

#TakethePledge: Redlands Dems will be sharing a calendar of candidate events and other volunteer opportunities.  Share your volunteering at: [email protected] 

  • before the September 17, 2022 at 11 am general meeting or place that info in the chat at the start of the meeting (we will draw three winners from a hat for some fun prizes) and 
  • before the October 15, 2022 at 11 am general meeting or place them in the chat at the start of the meeting (we will draw another three winners from a hat for more fun prizes).

We encourage you to volunteer for at least *2* activities a month, be it phone banking, canvassing, text banking, sending postcards, attending and taking action at a Solidarity Sundays-Redlands meeting, etc., for just a few examples.
