Time's up! Graham Platner needs to end his campaign, but our support for Mainers remains strong. Just know that whoever picks up the baton in this congressional race, we'll be right behind them✊
Democratic Socialists winning elections across the country is not an anomaly. It’s a blueprint that all Democrats can learn from, especially when they’re up against deep-pocketed campaigns. @melatkirosco.bsky.social proved once again that People Power > money.
This is how we’re taking action for the Midterms! 💥 Join as for a virtual mass call July 16th at 5pm PDT From priority states, travel plans, and how we’re reaching voters in 2026, this is your inside look at our strategy and tactics for the months ahead. RSVP on our website!

📢 Let’s give the GOP another reason to be scared of the Midterms! We’re hosting a mass call for volunteers to get out the vote in over 20 states this fall. Mark your calendars and get ready to hear each state and candidate we’ll be supporting in the Fall! ⭐️ July 16th at 5pm PDT on Zoom
A New York election is heating up again and we love seeing more progressives on the ballot! Shout out to our NY community for going out this weekend to knock on doors for @darializaforny.bsky.social 🗳️🎉
After mass redistricting in Tennessee led by the GOP legislature, our volunteers hit the doors to help @memphisforall launch the #ProtectThe901 campaign in Memphis. We asked Tikeila Ruckers and William Arnold of @memphisforall, what the nation needs to know about Memphis, TN.
The Memphis heat and thunderstorms couldn’t stop our volunteers 🔥⛈️ thanks to this team we knocked on over 1000+ doors for @justinjpearson.bsky.social in the new Tennessee CD-9. Ya’ll know we’ll in back soon. Download our Common Power Action App to join Team Tennessee again July 10th -15th 📱
Congrats Paxon, you just made our job easier this fall. By unifying under new leaders like @jamestalarico.bsky.social, there is a way forward in Texas, and we’ll be on the ground to support them again soon.
The next stop for our volunteers is Dubuque, Iowa for @robsandia.bsky.social! They’ve been out here doorknocking on the long weekend to get out the vote before the June 2nd primary. Let’s go Team Iowa! 🌳🗳️
While in Tennessee, we linked up with our friends at @memphisforall and discussed redistricting and how Dems can still win in the Fall. Now more than ever, doorknocking is needed to let voters know about changes to their voting districts and about candidates that will fight for them in Washington 🏦
Due to the redistricting in TN, Justin J. Pearson has decided to stay and fight with his community in Memphis. The Seattle Meet-N-Greet has been postponed for now. Pearson is still running, we will still doorknock for him on the ground, and we will welcome him to Seattle when the timing is right.
Next Monday, we’ll be hosting @justinjpearson.bsky.social in Seattle! As a Rep in Tennessee’s House of Representatives, Justin has combined his activism with his political platform to engage his constituents and inspire organizations like ours across the nation. 📅Monday 5/11 at 2pm PT
If you’re not here for the free coffee or the live music, then at least stop by to meet State Senate LD-43 candidate @hannahsabiohowell.bsky.social! ⭐️ Sunday May 3rd at 1020 1st Ave, Seattle at 1pm RSVP in our bio 🫵
Thank you to everyone who came by our pop-up to meet @katmabu.bsky.social and get a preview to what we’re building. What started as a short notice event, turned into an open conversation on how progressive campaigns can grow into something more, and everyone got a seat at the table 🪑
Let’s talk about a new way campaigns can invest in communities – not just in one election. Ya’ll will hear from us and @katmabu.bsky.social very soon 🌟 @kapowworks.bsky.social 🌟
