Dear Greylock Together,
You might have heard: TOMORROW is SUPER TUESDAY...
In Massachusetts, 91 pledged delegates are up for grabs in the Democratic primary. Of those, 32 will be given out based on statewide vote totals, and 59 will be determined by the results in the state's nine Congressional districts.
Alongside MA and a caucus in American Samoa, primaries are being held in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. At stake are 1,357, or 33.8%, of the 3,979 total delegates to the Democratic convention in Milwaukee in July.
GT's wonderful, diverse, committed, active ambassadors of democracy...we need YOU to spread the word!! Bring ALL your friends. Vote with your HEART. Be the change. Make calls for your candidate (there's still time). Canvass those last shifts...every contact with a potential voter counts. Let's make Tuesday SUPER Together!!
All MA election/polling information can be found here.
This Sunday (3/8) - we meet at our regular time at the Williamstown Youth Center--spread the word, bring a friend and join us!
Introducing our Voter-Empowerment Letter-Writing Get-Togethers:
We'll gather on a regular basis in 2020 in order to GOTV by outreach to low-turnout, high-impact voters in vulnerable, Super Swing States! Bring a pen, donate some stamps if you can and help us in our effort to encourage an army of voters to show up on Nov. 4th. Our letter-writing campaigns are orchestrated in collaboration with our partners at Vote Forward. It's easy and effective. Thanks to our GT Captains, Jeanne Marklin (jeanne.marklin@gmail.com) and Bernadine Williams (bhw2@williams.edu). Contact them with any questions.
Lastly, MA Indivisible Leaders are rallying the troops to call our Senators on the Abortion Bill:
The Senate is, yet again, considering two bills to make abortion harder to access. Call your senators today and tell them you oppose both of these bills (if you do). The two bills up for a vote are S.3275 and S.311/S.130. If your senators support the bills, let them know that you won't forget their vote and that you'll pay them back for it in November. If they're opposed, thank them and make sure they know we need them to stand strong.
Reminder: GT Book Group. How to Be an Antiracist by ibram x. kendi at 7:00 – 8:30 at the Log, Williamstown, March 12th.
