Crucial time for Ilya

Dear MoveOn member,

Early voting started on Monday in Ilya Sheyman's key primary race. We're now in the most critical period of the race that insider publications like The Hill are calling a "proxy battle between two wings of the Democratic Party."¹

This is our chance to get a true progressive elected to office instead of a conservative businessmen who gives thousands of dollars to Republicans and is backed by centrist "pro-business" groups.²

With voters already casting ballots and deciding whom to vote for, it's extremely important that they hear from volunteers like you.

Our friends at Democracy for America and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are running their innovative Call Out the Vote program, where volunteers from across the country can make calls to key voters in Ilya's district. It's really easy to use and very effective. The next Call Out the Vote shift for Ilya is tomorrow evening. Can you make it?

Yes, I can call voters from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. ET on Thursday.

I can't call then, but I can volunteer another time.

Thanks for all you do.

–Adam R., Elena, Milan, Amy, and the rest of the team
