It's Blue Turn
We are a group of dedicated volunteers who started to meet weekly in Mountain View in 2019 to increase the Democratic voter turnout. We have now written over 500,000 letters and postcards, to register and turn out Democratic voters, as well as to support specific candidate campaigns for US Senate, state legislatures and state Supreme Courts, special elections, and others, including over 125,000 for 2024 election cycle. We've also phone & text banked. We are now continuing the work to safeguard our democracy both remotely and in-person. See our current plan & current campaigns! New to activism?

Who am I? I'm just a regular person, like you! I'm worried about the future of the country and feel the responsibility to show to my boys that I'm not just an indifferent observer, to teach them civic duty. Currently a homeschooling teacher and education software developer, previously startup-building jack-of-all-trades with classical liberal arts education, math & computer science, artificial intelligence, and MBA background. I was born in the Soviet Union and came to the US as a refugee.
What organization are you part of? I belong to, participate in, and subscribe to multiple groups: Sister District, Indivisible, Swing Left, Activate America, Reclaim Our Vote, Field Team 6, Working America, and others that are working to protect democracy in this country. I research and pull those activities for our group that I consider the best return for the effort or important. See our current plan.
