Thanks for an informative article. It is great that grassroots groups like MFD are engaged in efforts to get the voters out for Democrats. There are other groups also engaged in such efforts including the volunteers from the Democratic party organizations in counties.

Thanks for an informative article. It is great that grassroots groups like MFD are engaged in efforts to get the voters out for Democrats. There are other groups also engaged in such efforts including the volunteers from the Democratic party organizations in counties. Hope there is some coordination going on to ensure that we don't knock at some of the doors multiple times but miss many others. Sometimes valuable resources are wasted by different groups reaching out to the same set of Democratic voters such as with mailing the forms for absentee ballots for senior citizens in January.
Beto is leading an effort too through his PxP organization to register new voters through VDRs. He is encouraging this time for those VDRs to build relationships with the voters they register so that they vote, as last time many such newly registered voters didn't vote in 2022.
This is where technology can help to some extent through the Reach app, as it has the ability for different campaigns to track the voters in the networks of their volunteers. The Texas Blue Action Network started using this app around September of 2022 through their 2 Million Texans project. They have some good initiatives going on for the elections this year and are coordinating with TDP. Other organizations like SAAVETX are also using this App for their own campaign to increase voter participation among South Asian voters. Reach is based on the same TX voter DB for Democrats called VAN. Hopefully, the Texas Democratic Party can monitor that through these different campaigns we are reducing overlap and covering more voters in TX to increase voter participation by Democrats in Nov. Thoughts?
I'm so far impressed with the level of coordination I've seen with grassroots groups this year. I think everyone knows that we're stronger when we do things together, and I've seen some overlap in coordination. There are two separate monthly/weekly calls various groups are doing to talk to each other and make sure everyone is on the same page.
