Showing Up Still Matters
A brief update on a turbulent week, and why continued action is making a difference
Hello everyone, it has been another eventful week. I miss the days of boring news. This newsletter is filled with announcements and ways to help, so I will keep this brief.
Showing up matters, calling your representatives matters, and voting matters. You are showing your community that there are people who care and who are standing up for what is right, slowly making a difference.
Minnesota just charged its first ICE agent.
People all over the country are voting out the Republicans who have stood by and let the decimation of the nation happen, including in deep red states. Make no mistake, we are fighting for our lives. I am going to keep going, and I hope you will too.
See you Saturday.

Want to make a real impact this election? Start here.
The Dan Kessler for Senate campaign Field Leadership Training isn’t just about one campaign, it’s about unlocking how any supporter can help win elections at every level.
We break down the three things that decide every race: Message, Mobility, and Money. And, more importantly, how everyday people can take action right now. From simple, high-impact social media habits to meaningful conversations with friends and neighbors to flexible at-home volunteering to door knocking with confidence. This training gives you practical tools you can use immediately.
Because here’s the truth: Elections are often decided by small margins and the people who show up, speak up, and take consistent action are the ones who make the difference.
You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to get involved.
Ready to plug in? Attend this training and discover the role that fits you: Whether it’s two minutes a day or a few hours a week, every action matters. And it starts with you.
