From an email:
Last nights wins were powered by the grassroots with over a thousand volunteers joining our phonebanking, doorknocking, and texting efforts, and dozens of Indivisible groups organizing for months to secure this outcome. Thanks to their incredible work, we were able to contact more than a million voters in the lead-up to Election Day. That includes:
☎️ Phonebanks: Over 600 Indivisibles joined our weekly phonebanks and called over 420,000 Virginia voters -- and more than 40% of our phonebankers were first time callers!
💬 Texting: We sent more than 550,000 texts to voters throughout Virginia.
📱 Digital Reach: This year, we launched a new social media outreach campaign partnering with online creators to reach 700,000 people -- many of whom are young voters who are difficult to reach through traditional GOTV methods.
🏘️ Canvassers: Through Neighbor2Neighbor, over 460 Indivisible volunteers in 82 towns and cities connected with 7,300 people across their communities to get out to vote.
In the lead up to Election Day, we saw some folks question if the energy weve mobilized in the streets from Hands Off! to No Kings would translate to wave-like energy at the ballot box. Last nights results, in Virginia and across the country, prove the answer is yes. But we've got to keep organizing and growing our movement if we want to save our democracy.

Special thanks to Indivisible and mobilize.us for lighting a fire.
The good kind.

And to light a fire where the sun don't shine.
