You’re not the first person to tell me the DNC strategy won’t work. I wonder if there is any way we could hold conversations with them about broadening the scope of the volunteer infrastructure and make it an ongoing effort that changed its focus after elections are over. The party has an incredible structure staffed by volunteers.

I’ll share a secret with you that underscores the points I have made above. I first got started in 2020 on Biden’s campaign doing texts. We really rocked and rolled as a team. I was one of the old farts on it. Before we finished, word went around about keeping in touch and kind of functioning as an online community after the election was over. That was shared with the DNC. I’m not sure what the result was, but we did a few things tangentially related to the 2022 campaign. And a few of us discovered we were back again in 2024. It don’t really think any of this was really supported by the powers that be. BUT I learned that the desire was there to do more than an election campaign…and that the texting group that I was a part of wanted this experience to be more than a “midnight stand”.
Steve, if you are still in the DNC slack maybe propose something. I’m looking to put together a Rapid Response team for all the Special Elections coming up.
I'm having a little trouble following this thread now that it's gotten so long, but if I read you correctly, you have a group of volunteers that wants to work all year round. I have followed you so if you need more members, please DM me. Tx!
I’m trying to see how I can contact someone at DNC about keeping the phone and fax groups active. If I am able to do that , I’ll get in touch with you and let you know how to get involved.

Melissa, Are you going to set up your response team through DNC slack? Right now the slack site is down.
