I know for a fact that you've heard it ad nauseam (as we all have): but what a month can do.
I won't recap everything that's happened since our last newsletter, and I won't regurgitate what we shared with you a few days ago, but our party is more energized than it's been in a long time.
With a massive influx of new members, and ballot requests, we know that we're on the right track to win in November!
There's only one group harnessing the energy we have on our side to help Americans across the globe make their voices heard, and that's Democrats Abroad. If you're able, we'd really appreciate it if you made a donation to support our work. Even a small amount goes so much further than it does anywhere else when you give to Democrats Abroad.
Here’s what you need to know for August!
There are less than 100 days to go until the election. We're mere days away from officially nominating our nominees for President and Vice President. That means the time to request your ballot is now.
The excitement everyone in Democrats Abroad has seen and heard coming from our members is palpable, and while there are many ways for you to get involved, the simplest is requesting your ballot ASAP so you can be sure your energy is reflected at the ballot box.
At VoteFromAbroad.org, you'll find everything you need to request your ballot. Better yet, if you're having any trouble or confused, the certified team of voter assistance experts are always on hand to help you out. There's no better time than right now. Request your ballot today!
I just spoke with Democrats Abroad's global Data Manager, and I am happy to report that he has informed me that our Text Blast Campaign has been a smashing success! So many of our you were able to request your ballots and receive the voter assistance you required.
Remember, if you still haven't replied to our message, we're still there for you. If you've already requested your ballot, letting us know by replying YES means we can better allocate resources to help all of our members send in their ballot.

Democrats Abroad Australia is celebrating our Emerald Anniversary this year! To commemorate the last 20 years of work supporting countless Democrats and helping so many people to vote from abroad, a founding member is throwing a fundraiser at their home in Sydney!
If you are able to make it, we'd love to see you at the fundraiser on the 9th of August. RSVPs are strictly required: click here to RSVP. If you are unable to make it, consider making an Emerald Donation of $24 to join us in the celebration from wherever you are!
There are also so many other events going on this month! Find out more by clicking here.
WANT TO VOLUNTEER? FIND OUT HOW!
We've had multiple new volunteers in the past month alone! The energy is really real! In addition to this, many people are wondering if they can get involved in a Democrats Abroad activity in the area in which they live. The answer is yes!
Democrats Abroad is seeking volunteers to help us in events across Australia. Not all work involves being in front of people, so no matter what you're good at, there is a role that might just be right you! Click here to find all of the roles we're actively seeking, or email us at info-australia@
After a month like this, our newsletter could go on and on, but that's all we have time for this month. Always feel free to get in touch with us at info-australia@
