Podcasts about gotv

It's the holiday season, and we here at the Rules of the Game podcast would like to embrace the opportunity to give thanks to several amazing nonprofits, who thrived in the face of adversity, boosted civic engagement, successfully led the charge on critical advocacy initiatives, and supported their communities in times of need. From North Carolina, to Colorado, to Missouri, and beyond, nonprofit advocates boldly stood up to protect democracy, defend our rights, and secure justice for all. So, as we gather around the table with family and friends this week, we want to celebrate them and their incredible contributions to our communities this year. Natalie Ossenfort: Thank you to all of the amazing advocates who worked so diligently on ballot measures across the country to guarantee access to abortion, expand workers' rights, and ensure the freedom to marry in state constitutions. By creating robust coalitions of nonprofit organizations with shared policy goals, these advocates secured several major wins. From a successful constitutional amendment in Arizona spearheaded by a group of nonprofits organized as “Arizona for Abortion Access” to the “Freedom to Marry” coalition in Colorado, nonprofits across the country organized for success this year and for the protection of our rights. We thank you for your amazing contributions. Monika Graham: Thank you to the Innocence Project, a member of the Alliance for Justice, for their groundbreaking work in the pursuit of justice and advocacy on behalf of the wrongfully convicted. Thank you, in particular, for your advocacy on the Marcellus Williams case. To Mr. Williams: our hearts are with you and your loved ones. To the Innocence Project: Thank you. Tim Mooney: Thank you for the resiliency of the nonprofit community in western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The North Carolina Rescue Collective delivered water, food, and supplies to local residents. Brother Wolf Animal Rescue also stepped up to ensure their animals were safe before the storm, and they continue their important work today despite extensive damage to their facilities. Brittany Hacker: Thank you to In Our Own Voice National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda. The organization educates the public and advocates for reproductive justice, while lifting up the voices of black women. They also actively engage in critical voter education and GOTV activities. Sarah Efthymiou: Thank you to the private and public foundations who support nonprofit advocacy efforts. In particular, the Gill Foundation funds charities that engage in LGBTQ+ advocacy to pave the way for a more inclusive future. In doing so, it empowers foundation grantees to tackle difficult policy challenges. Susan Finkle-Sourlis: Thank you to the nonprofits that worked so hard this election to educate voters and get out the vote. Shout out to the Interfaith Alliance for their “The Vote is Sacred Bus Tour,” a nonpartisan effort to boost civic engagement across the country. Victor Rivera: Thank you to the Health Forward Foundation, which endorsed Missouri's “Yes on 3” campaign to end Missouri's abortion ban and the Missourians for Healthy Families and Fair Wages campaign. Their advocacy led to the protection of abortion access in the state, raised the state's minimum wage, and secured paid sick leave guarantees. Melissa Marichal Zayas: Thank you to the Organization of Exonerees for your commitment to the fight for justice, your care for the recently freed, and for standing in solidarity with others who are still waiting for their voices to be heard.  

David Waldman is back again plowing through another KITM cold bedraggled, and as all of us, undermedicated for the task at hand. David was out with this cold on Friday, and I wrote a summary to an imaginary KITM. The summary to that summary: Tech bros created Spanish language dialect sensitive AI chatbots algorithm linked to young male Latino social media accounts based on what countries they follow in soccer, or any other niche criteria. They then had disinformation and conspiracy theories tailored specifically to them, but with the ultimate goal being GOTV for Donald Trump. Or to sum up that summary, while we were door-knocking, they were TikTokking. So, President Donald Trump was… look, all that takes more typing than he's worth. I'm going with D this term. D's dictating his cabinet. No Hulk Hogan or Kid Rock, but he might be thinking SCOTUS with them. Susie Wiles will head up Apartheid when Elon's busy and otherwise will be the focus of media fluff pieces on her grandmotherly charm. Elise Stefanik and Marco Rubio will… Wait, don't they hate D? Doesn't he hate them? Sure, they all hate each other. Never Trumpers are just Trumpers who haven't been assigned a position yet. Which brings us to Jonathan V. Last and the Bulwark, who urge us to let the Reich be the Reich, those things historically burn themselves out in around 4 years or so, no worries. Kevin Roberts, chief architect of Project 2025, hasn't found a Reichstag to burn, but does have an otherwise well-rounded list of incendiary targets. Roberts has named the Boy Scouts and Loudoun Schools, but conspicuously snubbed David Waldman for his pyre. Schools urge parents to be more sympathetic to the sexual harassing children. Black people are urged to pick cotton. Vladimir Putin is itching to take his new country out for a test drive, after all he was promised 24-hour delivery. The Russia-Ukraine war will be over in a day… that is, if no one else objects. Russian TV broadcast images of Melania Trump nude with the United States Seal behind her. If you want a picture of Melania with a Navy Seal behind her, it'll cost you extra. Judge Juan Merchan delayed his immunity decision in the NY hush money case, because, why not? Phil Williams, who we needed 500 more of the last ten years, has joined Bluesky.

(Get Out The Vote) Why did citizen engagement go down in this election? PLUS - Matt says you should read The Texas Tribune ???

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter just one day out from the 2024 election. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on final-day swing state polling, the lingering impact of Trump's fascist rally at MSG, the electoral drag of Harris' support for genocide, RFK's fluoride attack, Israel's banning of UNRWA and enforced starvation in Gaza, and the NYT Tech Guild strike, before touching on Trump's ongoing deterioration and Mike Johnson's wild slip-up over the CHIPs Act. Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the major Selzer poll out of Iowa, what it shows us regarding Harris' overwhelming support from women, and what this poll (and others) can tell us about the success of Harris' voter outreach across swing states. Weigel, Sam, and Emma also parse through the numbers behind early voting, why Democrats aren't particularly pressed about them, and the evolving constituency of independent voters, before touching on the GOP's GOTV fiasco – led by Elon Musk and Charlie Kirk. After briefly reflecting on the lingering impact of Trump's Bund rally at MSG, they get into a preview of the Senate fight, what the best/worst case scenarios are for Dems and Republicans across the Presidency, House, and Senate, and what particular races might act as bellwethers for the greater election. Sam also highlights a John Oliver segment on Georgia Rep. Ruwa Romman's comments on voting for Harris. And in the Fun Half: Emma talks with Greg from Massachusetts about down-ballot voting and the secret men for Harris vote, dives deep into the context for and meaning behind Selzer's Iowa poll (with some added commentary from Trump and, later on, Jeff from Iowa), and Tim from Chicago asks about the election night timeline. Tucker reflects on wrestling with his demons (and losing), RFK Jr. sets his sights on fluoride, and Steve Doocy can't quite put his finger on why women don't like Trump, plus, your calls and IMs!

How tomorrow's election could reshape Wisconsin politics. All about the constitutional amendment question on the ballot. How get-out-the-vote efforts are winding down.

Ashley's back for another go round with very special guest Todd Robert Anderson. They talk about the election, the GOTV volunteers that are always at Ashley's door, the terrifying reality of American Naziism infecting our government like a cancer, and then they get in a huge fight about the new Beetlejuice movie.

Get this full episode here David and Matt discuss Elon and Trump's online and GOTV work and Kamala's attempt to consolidate the center

The bond between husband and wife is sacred, so why are Democrats doing GOTV by deliberately pitting husbands and wives against each other? Sage Steele joins Charlie to discuss latest bid of the left and how to potentially narrow the gender gap in results this cycle. Josh McKoon gives an update on Georgia and explains why campaign insiders are confident that strong early vote numbers will be followed by strong election-day voting as well.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kelley Robinson, the President of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC.org), the nation's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, discusses the enthusiasm on the ground for the Harris-Walz campaign. Kelley and the folks at Human Rights Campaign have held GOTV events across the country, in battleground states, on college campuses, and at HBCUs. She provides an update on those events, talks Project 2025, and delivers a closing message to voters on what we should remember as we head toward the most consequential election of our lifetimes.

Turi volunteers to “Get Out The Vote”. She would have preferred to “Get out of the car.” When you try not to be a super controlling person…and then give up. “What does it taste like?” and other annoying questions.

Candice is back on the main feed with a final #gotv reminder and a deep-dive into this thing we call 'hope' - what is it, really? She shares about her pre-election anxiety and how she's actualizing hope in the face of so muchness. Various definitions of hope are offered, then she digs into the groundbreaking work of her late mentor, C.R. Snyder, 'the hope guy', sharing what she learned in the late '90s torturing freshmen in his research lab at The University of Kansas. What's the real-deal difference between positive psychology and magical thinking? How can we use positive psychology to make our experience of hope more tangible? And what can we learn from activists and those who refuse to give up? Also, a reminder that hope doesn't have to be about a higher power and Candice's post-election promise to you, no matter who wins.Support the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

In this episode, Alex is fired up. He is tired of election text messages from Sam Brown in Nevada and GOTV people showing up at his house early on weekends. He also learns that Des Moines, Iowa, hasn't Trick-R-Treated since 1938, and instead the kids have gone the night before. However, weather forced the town to allow the kids to go out on Halloween once again. For the rest of the episode, Alex talks about Elon Musks's potentially illegal monetary involvement in the elections happening in swing states. He also talks about how the FTC chair, Lina Khan, has become a polarizing figure in the Democratic Party and helps highlight the divide between the left and the center. He wonders if this could impact the election. 

Election Day is FIVE DAYS AWAY!  While we (at Clapback) have stressed the significance of this moment and how high the stakes are, let's not forget the theme of this campaign: joy. Joy in turning the page on the hate and division that's plagued our nation for far too long. Joy in continuing the progress that our nation has made since the pandemic. But most importantly, joy in getting out the vote. We can achieve a new chapter in America when voters get out the vote.    For this episode, we take a look at last minute Get Out The Vote tips for Election Day.   #SistersLead @SistersLead https://sistersleadsistersvote.org/

In this episode of Hawk Droppings, host Hawk interviews Will Westmoreland, a seasoned political consultant with over 30 years of experience in U.S. elections. Westmoreland shares his background, from early campaign roles, including the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1992, to his current consulting work, providing insights into voter outreach, campaign strategy, and how the political landscape has evolved over the decades. With a critical Election Day approaching, Hawk and Westmoreland delve into the mechanics of polling, early voting trends, and the overall anxiety surrounding the political divide in the U.S.Westmoreland explains the intricacies of modern polling, addressing common misunderstandings by outlining how methodologies have adapted, especially since the 2016 and 2020 elections. He highlights the role of early voting and voter demographics, particularly noting the contrast in voting trends before and after COVID-19. A recurring theme is the importance of voter outreach efforts, or "get-out-the-vote" (GOTV) campaigns, which Westmoreland argues are pivotal in swing states like Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The conversation also covers obstacles posed by state legislation that can delay vote counting, potentially influencing perceptions of Election Day outcomes.In addition to the technical aspects, the episode addresses the political and cultural factors driving voter behavior. Westmoreland and Hawk discuss how candidates' strategies, including appeals to specific demographics, are shaping the race, while also touching on the role of social media platforms like TikTok in voter mobilization. They close with a look at potential outcomes in key states, examining factors that could affect results on Election Day. Their analysis offers listeners both practical and critical perspectives on the 2024 election, providing a nuanced understanding of the factors at play in the current political landscape.Find Will on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@westmoreland_pops SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH HAWK- Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mdg650hawk- Support Hawk's Merch Store: https://hawkmerchstore.com- Connect on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mdg650hawk7thacct- Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hawkpodcasts ALL HAWK PODCASTS INFO- Additional Podcasts Available Here: https://www.hawkpodcasts.com- Listen to Hawk Droppings On Your Favorite Platform:Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3RWeJfyApple Podcasts: https://apple.co/422GDuLYouTube: https://youtube.com/@hawkpodcastsiHeartRadio: https://ihr.fm/47vVBdPPandora: https://bit.ly/48COaTBSimplecast: https://hawk-droppings.simplecast.com- Hawk Droppings RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/pPVtxSNJ

On today's KITM, David Waldman helps Greg Dworkin haul in his huge Raft O' Stories™, along with a big boatload of helpful polls. All the polls add up to one conclusion… The polling business must pay well. Using polls to make predictions however is like trying to drive with your rearview mirror. All we know is that our destination is coming up fast. Polls say you might vote for Donald Trump if you think he's macho. Of course, if that's a consideration for you, you definitely are voting for him. Others might be concerned that Donald is a rapidly decompensating dotard. It's obvious in interviews, inescapable in every word that he utters. Yet he has been like this for a while, right? It is 20 days until the election, if the smell hasn't hit them yet, we are almost out of time. Reporters are noticing that Joe Biden has done a pretty good job, saved the world, etc. A Bernie or Bust-er has an epiphany, better late than never. In a short while we'll find out whose GOTV in Pennsylvania sucked more and wasted more money. Low-income families aren't rich enough to be able to afford to use school vouchers.

On this week's DMZ, Bill and Matt discuss...-- Whether Youtube and podcasts have supplanted the mainstream media on the 2024 campaign trail— Is the gap between the popular vote and the Electoral College narrowing because of Trump's support with Hispanics?-- Matt's identity crisis, and whether JD Vance has convinced more conservatives to throw in with MAGA-- Donald Trump ducks Ben Shapiro's GOTV question-- And MUCH more!

According to a recent report by Harvard University, the first two decades of the 21st century were laser focused on "increasing voter turnout among the 'low propensity' voters in their communities, especially people of color and young people." These were groups largely "invisible" to the mainstream election industry. So, at the time, grassroots organizations welcomed the approach. But was it the right move? Today, Ohio is experiencing a higher level of disengagement and cynicism than in comparable states. Add to this, Ohio's notoriety as a "swing state" has lost steam--and national Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts have set their eyes on neighboring states like Wisconsin and Michigan. What can be done to repair the trust and relationship-building at the foundation of community organizing? And how can we better enfranchise those in our own communities? Join the City Club as Signal Cleveland's Frank Lewis takes on the "forgotten voter" and Ohio's GOTV efforts.

What did co-hosts Robin Renée and Wendy Sheridan learn this past fortnight? Wendy took in a couple of lofty facts about the weight and density of clouds while Robin attempted Gen Alpha slang. With too much going on to be neatly broken into headlines and deep dives, news items include Hurricane Helene and numerous weather disasters around the world, a lawsuit by members of the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio against Donald Trump and JD Vance, Chappell Roan's non-endorsement of Kamala Harris, the Rahway Library roundup, Rudy Giuliani's disbarment, the new haka world record, and much more. In Why Is This Awesome?, Wendy and Robin reflect on the health benefits of arts practices (and get side-tracked by The Church of the SubGenius).

On this week's #ThursdayKos, Markos and Rev. Mark, assess current voter turnout, the strategies of both the Harris and Trump campaigns, and the importance of mobilizing key demographic groups, including African American, Latino, and young voters for Harris, and white voters for Trump. They also highlight issues within the current campaign strategies, particularly the lack of investment in African American media and voter turnout on the part of the Harris campaign. Also, the surprising competitiveness in the Nebraska Senate race with independent candidate Dan Osborne.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 The Sarasota County Commission has $15 million to allocate for job training in the wake of Hurricane Ian. Some commissioners were ready to give it all to the Suncoast Builders Association. The West Coast Black Theater Troupe took a creative approach to getting out the vote with a presentation of a one-woman show called “The Fannie Lou Hamer Story.” Democrat Derek Reich is once again challenging Republican Fiona McFarland for the District 73 seat in the Florida House.

He thinks he has a better chance this time around.  The Sarasota City Commission gathered for a special meeting to discuss the Downtown Master Plan, and how to bring fresh ideas to the table through an Ad Hoc Committee. With strong opinions and a clear call for collaboration, the debate was anything but routine.  Perhaps surprisingly, the Sarasota County Commission on Wednesday passed up a chance to increase density on Siesta Key.

Before turning to the big political news, we challenge our listeners to get active talking to voters this weekend. This primary is critical to electing movement progressives to the state legislature and defeating the 2 damaging constitutional amendment questions on the primary ballot next Tuesday, August 13th. We have 6 phone banks the final 4 days of the election where you can call from home and door canvass opportunities in areas we have organizers. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was selected this week by Kamala Harris as her Vice Presidential running mate. We analyze the pick and discuss the choice of Eau Claire to stage an early rally for the pair. As the new Democratic ticket takes off, Trump is caught red handed with fingerprints all over Project 2025, We close with a dissection of latest MU Law Poll, where the presidential race in Wisconsin is tied, Senator Baldwin is still up 5 points, and the Republican State Legislature remains wildly unpopular, with an approval rating at an abysmal 33%!

Republicans are planning their strategy to reach voters in Virginia. Michael Pope has this preview.

We were thrilled to host Aaron Frank, co-founder and president, Focus for Democracy (F4D) and Anton Moore, founder of DJ's at the Polls. F4D researches programs and reviews evidence to identify where election donations can achieve the highest impact. It is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering political donors to make the most impactful contributions possible to strengthen democracy.DJs at the Polls is a GOTV initiative that brings music and a celebratory atmosphere to the polls. The 2024 program aims to bring DJs to thousands of polls in urban centers of the battleground states, AZ, GA, MI, NC, NE, NV, PA, and WI. Experiments in 2022 and 2023 in Philadelphia and Virginia showed a significant voter turnout effect (e.g., a boost of 3+% in polling locations with a high proportion of African Americanvoters). ​Local DJs with significant social media followings will be hired to perform at polls in their neighborhoods. DJs are cultural organizers that regularly promote their gigs and will post several GOTV messages throughout the election cycle.OUR SPEAKERSAARON FRANK  is the Co-founder and President of Focus for Democracy.

Republicans know why Donald Trump should be able to win this year: Biden is feeble and the country he runs is just as bad. But there are plenty of Democrats who think Biden is going to win another term. Why do they think that, and what does it tell us? Charlie digs into the "hopium" that Democrats tell themselves about their GOTV machine, and explains the pressing need to copy them if Republicans want to secure victory.

A special election in Ohio last night should be setting off alarm bells for Republicans: Democrats may still have the advantage in doing the grunt work of winning elections, and if Republicans don't catch up, it doesn't matter what the polls say. Charlie discusses how the two parties have changed, how these changes have made robust GOTV more crucial than ever for the GOP, and why conservatives must understand that the battle for America isn't just another show happening only on TV.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
