To The Wall

The final push to save democracy: it’s ours

Hey friends. We’ve got three days left until the midterms, and I thought I’d just post a note today to say “I see you.”

I’ve been canvassing, amplifying events, doing everything I can to get out the vote within the constraints of my daily life, and I know you have too.

And yet, in the last few days, despite everything I’ve done over the past few years (and a lifetime), I’ve felt guilty about whether I’ve done enough during this election cycle. Guilty for not doing more. Guilty for not canvassing more often. Guilty for not text banking while making dinner for my kids. Guilty about having a soccer tournament for my son the weekend before Election Day. Guilty.

Why? Because we’re at that point in the election cycle (and in America) where every last ounce of work could be the difference between saving democracy and losing it forever.

So I thought I’d just drop in here quickly to say to all of you: please keep going. Don’t beat yourself up, but please keep going.

We’ve got three days left. Let’s leave it all on the field.

And if for some reason you too are feeling guilty, you can always pick up one more shift for a candidate or a cause you care about at mobilize.us. 

Let’s get it done, all the way to the wall, until the polls close. WE are the difference between a better future and the end of democracy as we know it.

I see you. Thank you for all the effort.

And for what it’s worth: I do believe we’ve got this.
