If You Live in a NON-SWING state

If you live in a solid red or blue state, your presidential vote is essentially already cast. Not exactly democratic, is it? 

That being said, your "non-swing state" has important elections for other offices besides the presidency, and possibly referendums. So volunteering in your state could help important elections other than the presidency.

But if you also want to influence the outcome of the presidential election, you have to influence the votes in one or more swing states.

For your state and local elections, contact your state or local Democratic Party. They’ll help you volunteer.

To influence the presidential election in swing states, consider these options:

If you have friends or family who live in a swing state, and need a nudge (or just some information) to get to the polls, you could influence them. This is not about trying to convert a Trump supporter; it's about encouraging democrats and independents who don't like Trump but might need some encouragement or practical information to actually get to the polls and vote for Kamala and other Democrats.

One of the most effective ways of influencing the election in swing states is to donate money to one or more organizations that specialize in exactly that. Especially organizations that can prove their effectiveness empirically.

Here are links to all of the state Democratic Party websites. 

These websites will have a signup form or contact information you can use to volunteer.

Google Democrats along with the name of your county, including the word “county”, to find the website for your local party.

You can find many Democratic and progressive organizations on Mobilize.us.
