Trump and national Republicans are taking a hammer to our institutions – Medicaid, USAID, and the FBI, just to name a few. Many of us are feeling restless. What can we do to protect ourselves, our community, and our democracy?
Change will come when we take action. Below are 3 tools highlighted by CTDems to communicate, organize, and support candidates.
Please share this article with anyone who may find it useful.
Expose the harm Medicaid cuts would have on Connecticut residents
Source: the CTDems Medicaid Reliance by Congressional District Dashboard
CTDems have put developed a Medicaid Reliance Dashboard to show where Republican proposed cuts to Medicaid will hurt people, if they aren’t stopped.
Click HERE to see the Dashboard. (CTDems will soon offer a dashboard for SNAP benefits as well.)
Learn to Organize
If you’re itching to take action, you don’t have to start from scratch. CTDems maintains an online guide with how to mobilize within local Democratic parties, activist groups, and interest groups. It also provides links to get trained on everything from running for office to organizing protests.

Campaign Nationally
We have an opportunity to make a difference in several critical elections.
Special Elections
Help mobilize voters in Florida for the HD1 and HD6 special elections on April 1st. The Dem candidates are Gay Valimont and Josh Weil. They organize with Mobilize.us , which is another fantastic tool to discover volunteer opportunities.
On April 1, there will be a special election for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The winning side will hold a four-to-three majority on the state high court. The court faces decisions on abortion, voting access, the state’s collective bargaining laws, and its congressional maps.
- Donate here to Support Susan Crawford or via ActBlue.
- Sign up here through the Wisconsin Dems for remote volunteer opportunities to help ensure that Judge Susan Crawford is elected.
- Sign up here to call Wisconsin voters to encourage them to vote on April 1 or earlier.
Gubernatorial races
There are two Gubernatorial races this November, one in New Jersey and one in Virginia. We have a real shot at winning BOTH and sending a clear message to the White House that voters are unhappy and unsupportive of the GOP agenda.
Support Abigail Spanberger for Virginia HERE and Mikie Sherrill for New Jersey HERE.
