How to “close” in October 2024
1. Donate to Get Out the Vote (GOTV)
SVOC is partnering again this cycle with the Movement Voter Fund to identify key grass-roots organizations who have built strong community relationships with minority and low-income voters—exactly the kid of voters targeted by voter suppression tactics.

Sen. Jon Tester, Montana
Sen. Sherrod Brown, Ohio
Sen. Jacky Rosen, Nevada
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin
Sen. Bob Casey, Pennsylvania
There are three “rookie” candidates who are taking over for retiring Democratic Senators. They are all excellent candidates who are leading in races that promise to stay tight until the end. Ruben Gallego, especially, will need help all the way to the end as the Trump campaign continues to pour money into Arizona to avenge their narrow loss there in 2020.
