SHOW UP CHICAGO for Sept 14: It's Nov or Never

Tired of scrolling social media and growing more worried every day about the coming midterm election? We have the solution for you. Several solutions, in fact, all aimed at making sure you don’t wake up November 4 wishing you’d done more to stop this debacle. As we’re realizing more and more, the Democratic Party’s approach to voter contact is broken. To fix it, our friends at Swing Left have launched an ambitious effort they call **Ground Truth.** In its first election cycle it has been a smashing success. What's different about Ground Truth? How does it work and why? What lessons does it teach for campaigning in general? And (maybe most important), how can you use it to help the good guys win in November? Our guest experts will be **Janna Kaplan,** deputy director of organizing for Swing Left, and **Bill Mengebier,** lead Michigan organizer (and a board member) at Indivisible Chicago. Presented monthly by the Blue Beginning chapter of Indivisible Chicago, **Show Up Chicago** is a combination community gathering, cocktail hour, and political panel show at Chicago's most highly evolved saloon. It's a great chance to mingle with like-minded neighbors, hear the latest from political insiders, and gossip about the issues we all care about.
