Something you can do (besides give money)

I'm inspired. Every day, more and more people ask me how they can make a difference taking our country back, how we can win together in November.

Given the ongoing pandemic, my campaign team has been adapting our grassroots operation to a virtual campaign world and exploring ways we can empower voters across the country to take back the Senate.

I'm excited to announce a new part of this project: we're calling it Oregon Big Send.

The idea? Volunteers come together (virtually) to write letters encouraging people across the country to vote this November, and to vote for a change.

Join this groundbreaking project: sign up to be a part of Oregon Big Send today.

For this effort, we've joined forces with Vote Fwd and Swing Left. We've identified several states that are critical to our chances of flipping the Senate blue and finally taking away power from Mitch McConnell.

Here's how it works. First, you join our Oregon Big Send team. Then, once we verify your information, you'll be able to download templated letters to send to targeted voters encouraging them to vote in the November election.

We know this technique works—it's been studied and it can be the difference in close elections. I'm counting on this grassroots team to help flip the Senate, so I hope you'll join!

Our goal? It's ambitious, but we want to start by sending 50,000 letters. Because many of the key Senate races we're targeting will be *extremely close,** every single letter we send will make a big difference.

We have a real shot at flipping the Senate blue and taking back the Senate Majority from Mitch McConnell. If we all come together, and fight together, we can get it done.

In solidarity,

Jeff

PS. On Saturday, August 8, I'm going to be joining Indivisible Oregon and Swing Left at a letter writing event and training as part of Oregon Big Send. I'd love for you to join us. Get all the details on Mobilize. See you there?
