Despite what the media is saying, the Presidential election could well have gone the other way. A difference of about 1 ½ percentage points in the so-called blue wall states would have resulted in the election of Kamala Harris as president.

So be prepared to get out your pens once again in two years to participate in the effort to take back the Senate. Those cards that we send can really make a difference, as we saw in Arizona.

But first, we want to thank you so much for all you have done this year. And a special thanks to those who have written cards for years. Rejoice in the Gallego victory and mourn the loss of Brown and Casey. Look for our messages when we next see an opportunity to support first-rate candidates that we think can use our help.

We are overwhelmed by the numbers of you who have signed up since the beginning of the year. You are clearly looking for action. We have two immediate suggestions:

1. We recommend that you read the Indivisible Guide: www.IndivisibleGuide.com. Written by a group of Congressional staffers, it is full of good ideas for effective advocacy.
2. Our issues are the environment, women’s health and voting rights. Find out where your members of Congress stand on your – or if you will, on our – priorities. Let them know how you feel.

We are delighted to add you to our network. You will be hearing from us soon. Our emails will always have Grandmothers in Action in the subject line, so you will know it is from us.
