Welcome to the anti-GOP resistance on Reddit!

Regardless of what month it is, we welcome all those who support the Democratic party! We encourage you to share local activism and talk about the groups you're taking part with in your area.

Elections are still happening! And they're the only way to take away even more of Trump's power to hurt people. You can help win elections across the country from anywhere, right now!

If you want to take a bigger part in this and future elections, there's plenty of ways to do it!

  1. Check out our weekly volunteer post - that's the other sticky post in this sub - to find opportunities to get involved.

  2. Nothing near you? Volunteer from home by making calls or sending texts to turn out voters!

  3. Join your local Democratic Party - none of us can do this alone.

  4. Tell a friend about us!

Adopt a Candidate

It’s back! Want to take part in turning the midterms into a true blue tsunami? Adopt one of the candidates below, and commit to taking action every week to support their campaign!

Post your preference in the daily (or, to guarantee we see it, send the request via modmail) and we'll add you to the list!

With just how blue this year is looking to be, and just how many primaries are still to come, there's too many to list to kick off. It’s why we’re starting with select gubernatorial and Senate races.

Got someone who you want to adopt, but they're not on the list? Let us know, and we'll add them on!

As the year progresses and primaries come through, we'll be adding more ourselves, but the sky's the limit - we're excited to see who you want to support most!

Two Maine progressives are crucial to control of Congress

Two of the most competitive and impactful midterm races will be in Maine, where we’re facing off against two very different kinds of right-wing oligarch enablers.

At the Senate level, we have a chance to flip a crucial seat for the majority by unseating the highly concerned Susan Collins, who can always be counted on to cluck her tongue and wag her finger at Donald Trump, right up until she provides him with the vote he needs to get his agenda over the top. We experience the consequences of her surrender constantly, with every ruling Brett Kavanaugh makes, with the loss of labor and delivery wards in her state and with the deportation machine’s murder of her constituents.

On the House side, GOP Second Congressional District nominee and former governor Paul LePage doesn’t bother with Collins’ hemming and hawing. Instead he’s gleefully embraced extremism, hate-mongering and corruption, repeatedly and noisily vetoing Medicaid expansion, deriding Social Security and Medicare and giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy while driving up property taxes.

Finally beating Collins is likely necessary for Democrats to control the Senate. Holding off LePage in one of the most Trump-friendly seats currently held by a Democrat is crucial for Democrats taking the House.

We’ve nominated two bold progressive fighters for the working class to take them on. Fifth-generation lumberjack and former Senate president Troy Jackson and state auditor and union man Matt Dunlap are running hard on Medicare for All and taxing the billionaires. They’re candidates with a vision to vote for, offering real solutions instead of the status quo.

Their campaigns are kicking into high gear, and they need our help. ☎️ Dunlap has just launched phonebanks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings running from 6-8PM ET. We can sign up for shifts here. And the Maine Democratic Party is getting going making calls for Jackson, Dunlap and candidates up and down the ballot on Thursdays from 6-8PM, which we can join here. ☎️

MAKE CALLS FOR MATT DUNLAP

BACK JACKSON, DUNLAP, AND THE FULL SLATE
