August 28th is the Democratic National Day of Action.

Starting this weekend, hundreds of volunteers are hitting the pavement to start getting out the vote for Democrats. This is the earliest we’ve ever started and it’s all thanks to your support.

And it’s just the beginning. We’ve set a goal of knocking on 200,000 doors across the country. We’ll need your help! See the video, click here.
