Happy Primary Season, John!

The Alliance Network works year-round to protect our democracy and ensure young people hit the polls for every election. The last time we updated you, our network orgs in Wisconsin and Texas - Leaders Igniting Transformation and MOVE Texas - were wrapping up early primaries while Chicago Votes and Forward Montana were celebrating legislative victories! As primary elections heated up, we checked back in with the Alliance Network to see how youth organizers turned out the vote in their communities. Read the latest on the Alliance blog!

North Carolina Asian Americans Together

Leading up to the primary, NCAAT sent 137,000 mailers, attempted 30,000 calls, knocked on 500 doors, greeted voters at the polls with slate cards, and promoted social media ads, which helped to raise the Asian American early vote turnout to its highest level since 2014 for a midterm primary election!

MOVE Texas

MOVE Texas worked in House District 28 to help turn out voters in the Democratic runoff between Jessica Cisneros and Henry Cuellar (the last anti-choice House Democrat). Through phonebanking, texts, and a weekend of door knocking, MOVE turned out as many people as possible for Jessica Cisneros in a tight race with a 177 vote difference that is still too close to call.

Forward Montana

Last year, Forward Montana filed a lawsuit to challenge voter suppression laws passed by the state legislature that made it more difficult for Montanans to cast their ballot. In early April, a judge granted their request for a preliminary injunction on their voting rights case! This means that until a final ruling is made, Senate Bill 169, House Bill 506, and House Bill 176 are no longer in effect. Forward Montana also held five candidate forums ahead of their June primaries.
