Team Coup and Team YOU offers an authentic story founded on these facts.

 

The 2022 midterm elections will decide the future of our democracy. 

Statehouses have become “laboratories of autocracy.”

  • GOP legislators are passing anti-voter bills in state after state, dismantling election systems in an ongoing, multi-year assault. 

  • Experts such as David Pepper warn us to keep our eyes wide open to this coordinated, nationwide attack. No state is immune, no attack is too brazen for the dark-money-funded authoritarians who reject democracy because it threatens their own power.

We can and must win now, in 2022.

  • We can’t wait until our voting rights are secured—we must win in order to be able to secure them.

  • We commit to helping Team YOU voters overcome whatever unfair voting barriers they encounter. 

  • To neutralize Team Coup’s assault on democracy:

    • First, we re-activate the 42 million new Biden voters of 2020 and the new midterm voters of 2018.

    • Next, we register and inspire the 7 million young people coming of age by November 2022.

    • Finally, we turn out the 39 million reliable voters who consistently vote.

Powerful, effective messages inspire and empower voters. Aligned messaging campaigns work. 

What’s at stake? Everything.

What do we need to do? Get people to vote.

Let’s get to work.
