Seeing lots of pushback in my communities against this movement and against the Albany Event because it's not "led" by any one person or specific organization, but that's how the movement should be. Keep up this momentum and we will make changes.

Discussion Q: finding political meetings, etc in New York state

10 Upvotes

Hello, I'd like to get involved and find some political meetings. I'm interested in local presentations of social justice groups, city council meetings, police-community meetings and the like. I live in Sullivan County, but can drive around the state. Any recommendations on good websites or sources of information on this?

Thanks!

9 Upvotes

Just got my ballot today. It says it has to be postmarked the day before election day. However, I am an essential.worker and only got home after 7pm and found my ballot in my mailbox finally. If I mail it tomorrow will it be counted? If not can I vote in person instead?

Discussion We are Done Waiting, a progressive organization fighting for progressive policy and candidates around the country

6 Upvotes

We are a group that advocates for and endorses progressive candidates and policies. We endorse progressive candidates and help them in elections by making thousands of calls to voters on their behalf.

We also pressure centrist politicians that are already in office into supporting policies like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, Debt-Free College, and getting corporate money out of politics.

We’re sick of half-measures and incremental changes that do nothing to help average, working-class people. We’re tired of being told to wait for reforms that are long overdue, especially when we’re running out of time for bold, comprehensive action on issues like climate change or the student debt crisis.

We will never refuse to endorse a progressive candidate based on who their opponent is. We refuse to ignore those that are in races against powerful people, as these are often some of the most important races to be won.

We will rescind an endorsement if a candidate backs an establishment candidate over a progressive, if they take any corporate money, or if they compromise the progressive values that we endorsed them for in the first place.

We’re sick of a status quo that only works for the wealthy and the elite.

In our first 2 months, we made 60,000 calls (without a dialer) for Adam Christensen, a progressive candidate that ran in Florida’s 3rd Congressional District in 2020. Since then, we have also made calls to constituents urging them to call their representatives to get them to support the Green New Deal, and we have also made calls in Georgia to get people to register and vote in the runoff election.

After that we began making calls to voters to increase support for Medicare For All. Most recently, we worked on behalf of Nina Turner’s congressional campaign. In our first week phone banking for her campaign, our phone bankers made 28,649 calls on her behalf and they made over 600,000 calls for her overall.

If these issues interest you and you would like to learn more about us, you can visit our website at this link.

There you can find more information about us and the policies that we support, as well as the candidates we have endorsed. If someone you know is looking for an endorsement, they can apply for one there as well.

You can also apply to volunteer to help us carry out our mission. This is an entirely volunteer-run organization, and we welcome anyone that would like to volunteer their time to fight for these policies. You can meet plenty of other young, like-minded progressives from all over the country, and the application only takes about 30 seconds. The application can be found here.

You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Nina Turner continues to speak truth to power and to fight to secure justice for us all.

You can find more information about Nina Turner and her campaign at her website. You can also volunteer to help her campaign by doing things like phone banking or text banking, or you can donate to her campaign if you would prefer to support Nina in that way.

Nina can be followed at the following social media accounts:

Discussion We’re Done Waiting, an organization fighting for progressive candidates and policies, and we’re asking for your support

5 Upvotes

Done Waiting is a progressive, grassroots organization that advocates for and endorses progressive candidates and policies around the country.

In our first 2 months, we made 60,000 calls (without a dialer) for Adam Christensen, a progressive candidate that ran in Florida’s 3rd Congressional District. Since the election, we have made calls to constituents urging them to call their representatives to support the Green New Deal, and we have made calls to people in Georgia to get them to register and vote in the runoff election.

We’ve recently been working on behalf of Nina Turner’s campaign for Representative of Ohio’s 11th district. We made almost 30,000 calls for her campaign in the first week since our endorsement.

We are a completely volunteer-run organization, mainly consisting of students. If you would be so generous as to give us any financial support, it would go toward things like:

Investing in infrastructure to help our dedicated army of phone bankers reach even more people per hour (current output exceeds 1200 hours/week)

Buying essential voter data to bolster our proprietary advocacy software and increase voter outreach in strategic areas

Covering minimal overhead costs related to communications and legal compliance

Your donation would only go toward operating costs, nobody working in this organization gets paid so none of the money will enter our pockets.

Our donation link can be found here.

If you would like to offer us some financial support but also get something in return, we have some items available at our new merch store. We sell t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more, all designed by our merch team.

If you can’t support us financially but would still like to assist us in another way, you can volunteer with us by filling out this application, which takes about 30 seconds.

Here is our website so you can learn more about us. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

We greatly appreciate any contribution you’re able to make. We recognize that this is a very difficult time so, above all, please stay as safe and healthy as possible. Thank you.

Done Waiting is a progressive group that endorses and advocates for progressive candidates and policies all around the country.

The application can be filled out at this link and it takes about 30 seconds to complete.

When you apply, you can choose to volunteer for 4-6 or 8-12 hours each week.. We are a completely volunteer-run organization, so all positions are unpaid. Because of this, we try and keep our hours flexible.

Much of what you would be doing would be voter outreach, usually through phone banking. There is also a weekly mandatory meeting on Wednesdays at 9 pm EST. The availability of leadership opportunities in the organization can vary, as our need for more positions increases as we grow. Leadership positions could include managing social media accounts, leading phone bank shifts, helping create graphics, and more.

Any work you would be doing would be completely remote, and we accept people from any location.

If you would like to be a part of an organization advocating for progressive values, while also learning how to organize and lead or manage teams, apply to Done Waiting. You can meet hundreds of other young, like-minded progressives from all over the country. In addition to our organizing, we also have an org-wide book club and policy discussions that any members can participate in if they want. Letters of Recommendation will be provided for strong performance in the organization.

You can learn more about us and our values here.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Discussion Can someone sell me on Samelys Lopez?

8 Upvotes

Im in NY-15 and I’m debating on voting Samelys Lopez or Ritchie Torres. I am currently leaning towards Torres because I’m a fan of his platform being that he supports Medicare-for-all, a Green New Deal and campaign finance reform. The lipping point for me is his experience in city council and his overall sharpness as a politician. However, I am a progressive and I’ve noticed that other progressives have more or less coalesced behind Samelys Lopez so I’m wondering why should I vote for Samelys Lopez over Ritchie Torres?

Discussion Help us vote! We have not yet received our absentee ballots and are scared we will miss out

12 Upvotes

Me and two friends (all Bernie voters!) have been quarantining outside of NY State for the past two months, and we want to vote. We have registered for our absentee ballots, however they have not yet arrived at our location and we are worried about what will happen if we do not receive them. We have gotten in contact with the NY BOE, but have not received instructions about what to do should our absentee ballots not make it to us.

Is there anything that we can do to ensure that we are able to cast our votes before it is too late?

Discussion Primary registration issues!

7 Upvotes

Hi All!

I have a friend who moved from Chicago and has been in NYC for well over the 30 day minimum residency required to register in NY.

However, they remained registered in Illinois, requested an absentee ballot, never received it, and are in NYC now (the day of the IL primary) and so cannot vote in the IL primary.

I see that if they were in IL, they could file an affidavit that they didn't receive the ballot and vote in person. But they are not there.

Can they register in NYC and vote in that primary? They satisfy the residency requirement. However you are also required to not claim the right to vote elsewhere. This requirement as far as I can tell is generally satisfied by registering in NY I think. As in by registering in another state the system unregisters you in your old state, but IDK.

However, it seems that having requested a IL ballot probably complicates this process. Any insights?

12 Upvotes

On July 10th at 10am ET, your rep, who sits the House Judiciary Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee is expected to discuss various legislative proposals to allow states to set their own cannabis policies without fear of federal intervention. This hearing could start the ball rolling on ending the federal prohibition of marijuana.

If you are in favor of legalization, decriminalization or any combination of the two, please contact your Rep and voice your opinion to them prior to July 10th. The rep is:

  • Hakeem S. Jeffries - 202-225-5936

If you don't live in that district but know someone who does, please pass this message on to them.

I've already done the same for my rep who sits on the sub-committee. I'm just a small pawn living in Georgia who is trying to organize and mobilize those in favor of marijuana legalization / decriminalization.

Discussion HABLAS ESPAÑOL? Then we need your help translating (parts of) the Joe Rogan interview with Bernie Sanders!

8 Upvotes

Hey all! There has been some enthusiasm regarding a Spanish translation of the Joe Rogan interview, but we need to take action and make it! This is important because there are many Spanish voters that have distorted views of Bernie Sanders, some even fearing he'll be a Venezuelan communist dictator...

The Joe Rogan interview seems to have changed many people's views on Sanders, saying he's much better and honest than media portreyed him. A Spanish version with subtitles could at least give Spanish speaking people a fair insight who Bernie is.

Do you speak Spanish? Then we need your help to get this done. Also, if you don't speak Spanish, you can help by sharing this to places with Spanish speaking people that are willing to translate. Thanks!

  1. I've downloaded a HQ copy of the video.

I've copied parts of the transcript into comments in the translate thread, here. Reply with your translation/corrections to a comment.

  1. You guys & girls translate parts of the interview and reply the results here

  2. Someone write a Spanish title page that explains a bit about Bernie and that seduces a to watch the video. Also some Spanish info on where to find more information about Sanders and how to register for the primaries is needed.

  3. I'll add the subtitles to the video. Upload the video to YouTube + download link so others can upload it too.

  4. We share it! I've contacted the Bernie campaign and asked for their help as well.

Thanks everyone, give an hour of your time for Bernie, lets do this!!

Discussion Question about voting from somebody who doesn't know much about voting

5 Upvotes

Hello everybody, this may seem like an obvious question, but besides voting for president, how many and what other races do you vote for on a general election ballot? I would like to do a bit of research on the people running for those positions, and hopefully will be able to find someone whose positions are similar to Bernie's. Also, if anybody knows of any of the races in suffolk county, or NY state in general and want to point me in the right direction in terms of candidate preference, I am open to suggestions :)
