There is a similar diary about our current plight but I don’t think it is broad enough.
There is a real danger that our Governor Newsom may lose the recall effort. Between apathy, ignorance about what is going on, and people being too busy with their lives and the ongoing pandemic surge to notice what may happen, we can not take this recall for granted.
I just got off a Zoom meeting that Newsom was on and he pointed out that, not only would any GOP winner dismantle our COVID efforts as a state (and don’t get me started on environmental issues) but this leads to impacts on the 2022 midterms and Biden’s agenda.
So because this could have a national impact I felt there are many of you who would be willing to lend a hand. I know many of you have contributed money and time with texting and postcarding for others in states other than you own and it would be much appreciated if you could do this for us.
Here’s something to ponder. A Republican gets elected Governor and Dianne Feinstein dies or steps down. The Republican gets to name CA’s next Senator. Chances are it won’t be a Dem.

There is texting, phone banking, postcarding, numerous ways to help.
Examples of groups fighting the recall looking for help:

I verified with a local Indivisible Group about phone banking since many of you were asking about that: “Oh yes, it will all be remote on the phonebanking platforms. The Indivisible Yolo will be on zoom where there's an introduction and training on zoom then we all go mute and make calls, take a break to get back on zoom and talk with other phonebankers then go back to the phones for another round. It's fun to do it with a group that way.”
