Register Democrats 💙 Save the World 🌎 We are a volunteer army doing partisan voter registration in battleground states/flippable districts. Volunteer/donate & help us register more Democrats & save the world. FieldTeam6.org https://linktr.ee/fieldteam_6

We can win South Carolina No time to mince words. The untimely passing of Senator Lindsey Graham means the chances of winning that South Carolina Senate seat just got better. It is significantly less difficult to win an open seat than to defeat an entrenched incumbent. Field Team 6 is planning on fighting for that South Carolina Senate seat as hard as we possibly can. The numbers are clear. Lindsey won his seat 6 years ago by just over 10 points. Since November 2024, the average election swing has been 14-15 points to the left. A seat that would normally be safe for Republicans is now, most definitely, not safe. We have bought contacts for many, many unregistered, likely Democrats in South Carolina. We have a dream candidate in Dr. Annie Andrews. This seat is absolutely in play. To be clear-eyed about this, we are the underdogs here. To win here will take every volunteer and every donation we can rally. So if you want to flip South Carolina, and Texas, and Maine, and Ohio, and Alaska, and Iowa, and every single place that will win us back the House and Senate - the time is now to volunteer and donate. Let's do this! -Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6
6 Pride-colored clasped hands. #StrongerTogether
The Day We Decided To Try Michele Hornish writes, in her Small Deeds Done Substack, “July 4, 1776 was the day the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. The Treaty of Paris – the moment when we actually obtained independence – wasn’t signed until seven years later in 1783. Between those two dates was a lot of life, and a lot of loss. Brandywine. Trenton. Yorktown. Valley Forge (....) We don’t celebrate those years of work, though perhaps we should. And we don’t celebrate the day that we won. We celebrate the day we decided to try.” Beautiful! And we should celebrate every day we decide to try. Every day that between emails, calls, doctor’s appointments, buying a gift for someone’s birthday, giving the dog her pills… we manage to show up to a voter drive training on zoom. Or write some voter registration postcards while watching the news. Or send some texts to register likely Democrats in Ohio. Or dash off a donation. Every day that we decide to try is a victory. For courage. For love. For the unstoppable, endlessly resilient life force that sends wildflowers through concrete. Hornish continues, “…we’re not being asked to celebrate history this year. We’re being asked whether we’re willing to follow in our ancestors’ footsteps and make it.” If you’re reading this – you've already answered that question. Let’s celebrate the history that we are making right now. And recommit to doing everything humanly possible to defend our imperfect but precious democracy. Volunteer! Donate! Win! And have a great July 4th, patriots! Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6

Happy Pride Month!
Studies are great. What's better? Every day the news reports on Trump’s asinine war with Iran and the runaway inflation it’s causing, we activists need to focus on channeling the record-breaking pushback into record-breaking voter registration that will fuel record-breaking election victories in November. A landmark study by Circle/When We All Vote found that 56% of youth say they are “extremely likely” to vote in the upcoming midterms. In the 2018 Blue Wave midterms, that number was 34%! Another key finding: 68% of kids who identified as Democrats were “extremely likely to vote.” (Among young Republicans it was 49% and only 38% of independents.) Field Team 6 is the only national organization focused on registering Democrats. We are uniquely qualified to register the exact voters we need… the most enthusiastic ones, who will show up and elect Democrats! Here are two of our own Field Team 6 statistics: • 2 out of 3 volunteers who lead a voter drive go on to lead more drives! • We convert every donated dollar into another vote in a swing state or district. Studies are great. Even better? Winning so many elections kids will study 2026 in history classes. Volunteer! Donate! Win! --Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6 from weekly email newsletter
PRIMARY NEWS IS GOOD NEWS We’ve got 5 months to flip the House and Senate – and some good primary news shows the Blue Wave we need is gaining size and momentum every day. When people talk about primaries or any election, they always say “It’s all about turnout.” That is only half true. It’s all about voter registration first, because if voters are not registered, you can’t turn them out! Back to that good primary news: In Iowa, we now have a great candidate for US Senate in Democrat Josh Turek. He’s not only a state legislator who won in a red district… before that, he was a super-inspiring Paralympian who played wheelchair basketball on the American team. For the first time in years, we have a real shot at that Iowa Senate seat. In New Jersey’s swing seventh district, which includes Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club, Democrat Rebecca Bennett will now be our super strong candidate. She is a healthcare leader, an engineer, and a former US Navy helicopter pilot. She takes on Tom Kean Jr., an unpopular Republican who has been literally missing for months due to a mysterious illness. In California, it will take a little while to get the full results, but it’s great news that we avoided two Republicans on the ballot for governor… and that we likely avoided two Democrats on the ballot as well, which would have meant many more millions would be wasted on that race. Those resources are needed so much more by grassroots orgs (like Field Team 6!) in every swing state and district across the country. It is these battles that will decide whether we win back the House and Senate in November, and cut Trump’s final term in half. That would keep us on track to eject the monster from the White House in ‘28 and save our democracy. So the time is NOW to redouble our efforts – donate (our greatest need!) – and volunteer. Because when it comes to winning elections, it’s all about registering Democrats! – Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6
OUR GREATEST NEED (AND OUR 2ND GREATEST) More historic success for the Resistance this week! The May Day General Strike featured over 5,000 actions across the country, and the Sunrise Movement estimates over 100,000 students participated. This new tactic builds on the successes of No Kings and Hands Off. Crucially, it brought in more labor and young people. And for all of it to mean something, we need to channel this passion into success at the polls. Partisan voter registration is how. This is a job for Field Team 6! This past week, Field Team 6 held a milestone strategy briefing, where we laid out our powerful new strategy to flip the House AND Senate in November. Here are some of the biggest points: • The best way to win elections is by registering new Democrats and independent voters in the places we need ‘em most! • The Democratic Party has done about zero voter registration for 20 years. (They’re doing a tiny bit now in two states.) The campaigns don’t do it either. That’s where Field Team 6 comes in! • We are the ONLY national org doing partisan voter registration year-round in every swing battleground nationwide! • Our goal? Contact 18 million. 6 million register. 3 million vote. • Where? In 7 states to flip the Senate and 30 districts to flip the House… and more when we’re done with those! For more details, watch for an important email about this soon! And right now, we need YOU to help us scale Field Team 6 to the size of May Day Strong, No Kings, and Indivisible. How? By donating (our greatest need) and volunteering (our second greatest need)! 5 months until voter registration deadlines start hitting in October. Join us today by donating – volunteering – or both! No time to lose!! – Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6

BEAT 2018 Yesterday’s decision by our MAGA Supreme Court in Louisiana v. Callais makes our work registering Democrats more important than ever. This decision gives the go-ahead to any state who wants to conduct a racist gerrymander. All they have to do is call it a partisan gerrymander, which the same Supreme Court has ruled is completely legal. What that means for the November elections is that Florida will now redraw its maps in an attempt to seize four more House seats. On the national level, that will put Republicans ahead in this gerrymandering arms race by roughly two to four seats. We can absolutely still win the House this November, but how much we win it by just became existentially important. Because what this ruling means for 2028 is that states throughout the South will likely draw blatantly racist district maps to hand Republicans 10-20 more House districts. Democratic states will have to fight back as hard as possible with their own maps. And that is why we need to win this November decisively. We need to not only flip the House, we need to create a buffer of Democratic seats that can withstand the Republican gerrymander in 2028. In 2018, we needed 24 seats to flip the House. We won 41. It was the largest Democratic House gain since just after Watergate. This November, LET’S BEAT THAT. Volunteer – donate – win! - Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6
Paula Poundstone reminds us to stand up to Trump
Teach your kids to stand up for the underdog and to protect their friends when they're down. Remind them that it's okay to not always be the cool kid and that being different is a gift. Instill in them that being kind is always better then being cool.
The Election Heard Round the World In Hungary last Sunday, a breathtaking 80% of voters turned out and ended the 16-year reign of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a massive landslide. Orbán, a man who had done all he could to become dictator for life, was routed by Péter Magyar – in a roughly 16 point victory. Magyar’s party also defeated him by 2 to 1 in the parliament, winning a supermajority. How did the Hungarian people do this? They voted in numbers too big to suppress, and won by margins too big to contest. And they saved their democracy. Organizing works. Sunday’s victory could only happen because of the day to day, week by week, year after year work of registering new voters and connecting with them on the issues they care about. And joy drives the work! A dancing Hungarian politician showed us what that joy looks like! Dictatorship is not inevitable. Voters showed us that last year in Poland, and Sunday in Hungary, and right now all across America. Just as post-COVID inflation fueled a rise in extreme right forces across the world, the terrible policies of those regimes are now fueling massive pro-democracy movements that are sweeping aspiring fascists out of power. So help us register more Democrats and progressive independents! If you’re reading this, you’re most likely already volunteering and donating. Tell a friend about us! Invite them to a “Welcome to Field Team 6” meeting, where they can find out what we do and how to volunteer. And did you know that we get so many of our donors by friends telling friends they donate to us? (Here’s our Donor Brief and donation link.) So please – spread the word about our crucial work! Because this is how we defeat American fascists: by voting in numbers too big to suppress, and winning by margins too big to contest. – Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6

Last Saturday, America roared. Last Saturday, we showed the world a new thing. Last Saturday, eight million of us took to the streets for the biggest protest in history. It was peaceful – an incredible achievement. It was moving and soulful and raw and funny. There were chants and speeches, songs and jokes, tears and laughter. In the face of the crushing pain that has fueled this protest, our joy testified to the strength of our hearts and the power of our common vision. Last Saturday wasn’t just a protest. It was a promise. We will stop your fist with our open hand. We will beat creeping fascism with grassroots democracy We will swallow your NO with a YES as big as the world. “Power to the people!” is just the chantable version of “Register Democrats. Save the world.” This is the meaning of the Field Team 6 mission. We are the machine that turns protest energy into electoral power, one new voter at a time. The road from the street to the ballot box runs through us. So now it’s time to turn the biggest protest in history into the biggest midterm victory in history: VOLUNTEER. DONATE. WIN. TONIGHT: Join us at our Donut Speakeasy for games, prizes, and if all goes well, the never-before-seen dance of the Donut Man known as "Doughmocracy"!! Bring a donut, you'll need it! – Jason Berlin, Founder, Field Team 6
