While focusing on affordability and holding Republicans accountable for making life more expensive, thousands of Democrats will spend the weekend participating in canvasses, community meetings, voter registration drives, volunteer trainings, phone banks, and service events that reach, engage, and mobilize working families
Today, the DNC announced the launch of a nationwide Stuff Costs Too Much Weekend of Action that will train 150 new organizers, engage thousands of volunteers, and include more than 200 on-the-ground events throughout the country today, Saturday, and Sunday. Democratic volunteers, organizers, and campaign staff will spend the weekend having nearly 10,000 conversations with working families during door-to-door canvasses, innovative voter registration drives, neighborhood meetings, Know Your Rights trainings, service events, and phone banks. While holding Republicans accountable for jacking up costs, the weekend will also focus on the work Democrats are doing to make life more affordable.
In response to the launch of the Stuff Costs Too Much Weekend of Action, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“From groceries and gas to healthcare, childcare, rent, and utilities, everything costs too damn much under Donald Trump and the Republicans. And to stop these skyrocketing prices that are crushing working families, we have to stop the Republicans in November. That’s why Democrats are launching this nationwide weekend of action to reach, engage, register, and mobilize voters who will make the difference in races up and down the ballot. By organizing early and organizing everywhere, Democrats will win these midterms and get to work making life more affordable.”
The nationwide weekend of action will feature affordability-focused events with elected officials and partner organizations. That includes:
