Fighting for America: How We Win 2026

The 2026 elections are a pivotal test for American democracy. With Trump back in power and authoritarian policies accelerating, everything from Congress to state legislatures, governors’ races, and key contests like special congressional elections and the Wisconsin Supreme Court will determine whether we have any checks left on abuse of power, corruption, and attacks on basic human rights.

Are you ready to move from worry to action? At Fighting for America: How We Win 2026 you’ll hear from It’s Blue Turn speakers and partner organizations about:

What’s at stake in key 2026 races

What it will take to win them

Concrete volunteer pathways

You’ll leave with clear next steps and a sense of how your time and energy can matter most!

Hosted in partnership with the Santa Clara County Democratic Party, the Bay Area Coalition, the Democratic Volunteer Center, Indivisible Mid-Peninsula, and Indivisible Portola Valley.

Text Arcade with FT6
2026-02-10 15:00 - 16:00 | Online
Text with Field Team 6 to register new Democrats in key swing states & districts! The problem is that Field Team 6 has contact information for hundreds of thousands of unregistered likely Democrats – FAR more than they can afford to text. Yet texting is an incredibly effective outreach tool. And there is always huge volunteer demand for texting.

The solution is a Text Arcade. It’s a super-fast text bank that costs $25 a ticket. 100% of your ticket price goes to funding your 1,400 texts. Field Team 6 pays for about half of those texts in order to keep the ticket price reasonable. The Text Arcades provide excellent training and support, a good choice for volunteers with or without previous texting experience.
