Slack channels are the virtual team spaces where you will ask for assignments, get instructions and help from your Moderator and Team Guides, and where we share important updates and celebrate victories!

3. INVITE YOUR CREW AND CREATE YOUR LEAGUE!

We work as a national team to educate and motivate progressive voters about Working Families Party endorsed candidates, key issues, and nearby actions.

4. LEVEL UP!

Our texting teams are growing daily. Both state-based and national teams are almost entirely volunteer built and led! Our leaders want to share the campaigning, technical, and organizing skills they’ve built up with you too.
