Things to Do to Help Get Out the Vote:
Voting - Request your absentee ballot today at https://www.votefromabroad.org/
Postcarding
Help us get out the vote. Please Donate.
Phone banking is one of the easiest and most effective ways for us to mobilize fellow Democrats around the globe. In 2020, DA callers made over 600,000 calls! Find out more.
Calls are paid for by DA, so no expenses will be put on the callers themselves. The recipients are all existing members of DA, and therefore are generally very happy to be contacted and appreciative of the effort to help them vote. It's a very meaningful way to help our cause and can be quite enjoyable!
You can help amplify President Biden's accomplishments by using this easy-to-use app. The DNC is excited to introduce you to a new and easy process to create/receive content and communicate through this app called Greenfly. Please open this link on a phone or tablet.
Here's what you'll need to do to get started:
- Download the Greenfly app on your phone
- When prompted, enter the unique invite code: DEMSDEMS
- Set up your profile and allow notifications
Once you have made your profile on Greenfly, you will be able to access our best creative assets, like the video on President Biden's accomplishments, for you to amplify on your own social media accounts.
And no need to worry - Greenfly will not store any of your personal social login credentials in the app, nor will it share on your behalf.
Attached, you'll find an easy one-sheet for your reference. For your convenience, here is a video on how to use Greenfly, but we know you'll find it very intuitive.

January 22, 2022Happy New Year! It's been one year since President Biden was inaugurated. We had a lot of changes in 2021 and there is still lot of work to be done to get the change we need and action on climate change.
I want to thank my two immediate predecessors, Rosa Foyle and Jese Alamogordo for all their work. We still have a lot of work to do in this midterm year. Our chapter has a lot of plans for 2022. Our next meeting is Tuesday, 25 January at 7:30 pm CET and we hope you join us. We will discuss our plans for the next year and we really need your help. There are lots of simple opportunities to volunteer and help get out the vote. Of course, requesting your absentee is the first and easiest thing you can do to help.
If you are on Facebook, please like our Facebook page. Also, if you use WhatsApp, consider joining our group.
I'm ready to get work, defend our democracy, and win the 2022 midterms and I hope you are too!
Please take a look at the information below. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [email protected]

Upcoming Events
Sunday, June 26, 2022 at 10:00 AM Berlin Time · 48 rsvps
ZoomFight for Our Reproductive Rights - Take Action Now!
The Supreme Court, packed with radical right-wing judges by Trump and Mitch McConnell, just made women second-class citizens. Women no longer have control over their own bodies. People will be forced to give birth against their will, and doctors will fear prison for treating those with complicated pregnancies.
This is the first time in US history that a fundamental right has been TAKEN AWAY. If Republicans retake power in November, Americans will be ruled by a minority of radical extremists.
*WE MUST MOBILIZE EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2022*. Register and vote, and ask your friends to register and vote.
Program
10:00 - 11:00 - We will have speakers discuss the situation, how we got there, and what we need to do now. We will have a speaker joining us from Texas who will give us a sense of the situation on the ground there. We will also, give attendees time to speak out.
11:00 - 12:00 - We will have a quick phone banking training so we can immediately take action by calling our members who vote in battleground states. The majority of our members have not requested an absentee ballot yet!
Sign up for the Dialing for Democracy Event
We must maintain legislative control of our government to protect our rights. In order to do that we will participate in Dialing for Democracy and help get out the vote. Getting our members to request an absentee ballot is an important step in securing our rights. We must outvote the regressive Republicans! We must expand the Senate Majority, hold on to the House, and win key races at the state and local levels.
DA Germany June Online Meet and Greet
Join Kenton Barnes, DA Germany Chair, and Emily Lines, DA Germany Vice Chair, for an online "Meet and Greet" on Sunday, June 26th from 3:00pm to 4:30pm CEST. We'll discuss our organization's structure and goals, introduce ourselves as the leaders of DA Germany, and discuss ways you can get involved as a volunteer with DA Germany and with your local chapter. We can always use more volunteers to help us make sure Democrats win in 2022.
Whether you're a long-time member or completely new to DA Germany, we warmly welcome all members to join us for this afternoon event. We hope to answer any questions you may have about DA Germany, as well as foster a lively, productive discussion with each other.
To actively participate in the event, you will need a computer with an internet connection as well as a working microphone.
Please RSVP to the event if you'd like to attend. Once you have RSVP'd, you will receive the login link. We hope many of you can join us!
