KEY RACES:
Identify key races at state level and Congress where an extreme right-wing candidate can be defeated or where a champion for worker rights can be elected or has to be protected. Assist districts and clubs in developing a strategic approach that builds broad unity to mobilize the vote around issues, working with unions and other people's organizations.

Possible weekend teams from nearby districts to work with comrades in a key battleground race, to be planned out with our national organization.

BALLOT INITIATIVES:
Mobilize around ballot initiatives that defend and expand democratic rights to inspire voter participation and turnout.

CLUBS & DISTRICTS
Provide resources to help clubs build the movement around issues where they are and connect to the urgency of this election for self, kids, parents, community and co-workers. Build a base by going door-to-door to talk issues, register voters, get out the vote, and build relationships through readers of People's World.

Participate with unions, community and youth groups in door knocking and mass gatherings to build enthusiasm and confidence to defend democracy, register voters, and get out the vote.

Workshops on how to run candidates to assist districts for possible future candidates for local elected office among club members and lay the groundwork with all-out organizing to get out the vote in this election, consulting with state leadership and the Communist Candidates subcommittee of Political Action Commission.
