Join Activate America as we call Virginia voters to encourage them to Vote YES in the April 21 Special Election on temporary Congressional redistricting. This is a critical statewide ballot measure, and every vote will matter. Volunteers will talk with voters about why voting YES helps level the playing field for the 2026 Congressional elections and ensures that Virginia voters — not politicians — make this decision. We’ll also help voters make a clear plan to vote early, by mail, or on Election Day, and share important dates and voting information. No experience needed — training, scripts, and support are provided.

This election matters. Your calls can help turn out the votes needed to win. Sign up and help Virginia voters make their voices heard!

Text arcade with FT6
2026-04-07 15:00 - 16:00, 2026-04-14 15:00 - 16:00, 2026-04-21 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.

Join Red2Blue and our partner, Rural GroundGame, to inform Virginians about the crucial redistricting referendum coming up on April 21.

This is a defensive and necessary response to the outrageous gerrymandering Trump and his administration have pushed through in Texas, North Carolina, and elsewhere. It would be easy for this election to fly under the radar, but we can’t let that happen. We have to let voters know what this election is really about — protecting fair elections — because when they have the facts, they turn out to vote!

We’ll be using the Scale to Win dialer and training will be available. Join us in helping encourage Virginians to Fight Back and VOTE YES!
