Action 1: Surge Against the Purge in Tennessee
From Rogan's List 9/15/26
The work of countering the vote suppressors will continue throughout the fall. More than 80,000 Tennesseans have been kicked off the rolls in Davidson County alone, and organizers are reaching out to make sure folks across the state know their status, get re-registered and get the information on how to cast their ballot in these elections. Consider joining Stand Up Nashville in Surge Against the Purge on Tuesday, September 29th from 7-9 PM Eastern Time. Sign up here: Surge Against the Purge · Mobilize
Action 2: The USPS Must Rescind the Mail-in-Ballot Rule Permanently
The Supreme Court has upheld the injunction against the USPS mail-in-ballot rule, so the vote-by-mail restrictions have been blocked for the November elections. AMAZING NEWS!
The USPS should now move to rescind the rule permanently. You can send a message to the board here: http://usmailnotforsale.org/take-action
Action 3: Seeking Poll Monitors Nationwide
From Rogan's List 9/16/26
This week, Donald Trump’s efforts to subvert our elections were dealt with a serious blow at the Supreme Court. But no one’s fool enough to think the fight to secure our vote is over. With less than seven weeks to go, Democratic and nonpartisan organizations alike are stepping up their voter protection work.
In particular, a growing number of groups are starting to actively seek folks to sign up as poll monitors. These are the folks on the frontlines of election defense: aiding folks who need assistance and referring them to voter assistance hotlines, watching the watchmen, documenting disturbances, making sure we have evidence to disprove false allegations, and serving as an early warning system for the public.
Sign up to be part of nonpartisan poll monitor teams in California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Texas
OR
Join in Democratic Party poll observation efforts in Arizona, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin and Virginia!

Make calls with the PA House Democratic Campaign Committee: https://www.mobilize.us/pahousedemocraticcampaigncommittee/?tag_ids=212
Pennsylvania Democrats are shooting for a trifecta in November by expanding their majority in the state house and taking back the majority in the state senate. This would allow Democrats to redraw congressional maps, raise the state's minimum wage to $15/hr, and legalize marijuana. Shifts are available most days.
Make calls with the Environmental Voter Project: https://www.environmentalvoter.org/get-involved
The Environmental Voter Project is a nonpartisan, nonprofit focused on identifying an estimated 11.2 million environmentalists who did not vote in the 2024 presidential election and efficiently converting them into a critical mass of consistent voters that will soon be too big for politicians to ignore.
