TYT is teaming up with the Progressive Campaign Change Committee (PCCC) and it's nearly 1 million members are looking to enlist you to make phone calls to help sway some of the extremely close, extremely important elections in various parts of the country in just a week.
What you can do to help out doesn't require any money, it just requires a little bit of your time, it to help make those millions of calls to support real progressive candidates.
We gotta help these guys, we gotta back our guys-- the guys who do fight -- who are strong, right?
Right now, some of our top targeted bold progressives are running just 1 or 2 points behind. That's just 10,000 to 20,000 votes. To put it into perspective, we made 23,000 calls for Al Franken in just one night. These calls could decide which party controls the Senate.
We’ve targeted close races across the country where progressives are running with Elizabeth Warren’s populist economic agenda and a strong commitment to get big money out of our political system. These progressives can take the government away from corporations and Wall Street and put decisions back into the hands of everyday Americans who desperately need a voice.
Progressives like Al Franken, Alan Grayson, Carol Shea-Porter, Kelly Westlund, Jeff Merkley, Mark Udall, Rick Weiland are leading the charge to overturn Citizens United, protect social security, expand Medicare, and raise the minimum wage.
You can make a difference in one or all of these tight races! Sign up for a shift now to help Call Out the Vote!

SENATE
Al Franken, Minnesota
Senator Franken is one of Elizabeth Warren's top allies in the Senate. He is a bold voice on overturning Citizens United, reforming Wall Street, protecting Net Neutrality, and making big corporations and millionaires pay their fair share. Franken is a tireless progressive leader who fights for us.
Rick Weiland, South Dakota
Rick is running for Senate to “Take It Back!” from big-money interests. Rick stated that the first bill he would introduce in the Senate would be a constitutional amendment to overturn the disastrous Citizens United ruling. The PCCC and Elizabeth Warren backed Rick Weiland early on because we knew we could count on him to be a strong voice for everyday people. Rick will be there protecting and expanding Social Security for our seniors, making college more affordable, or fighting to take back our democracy from big-money interests.
Mark Udall – Colorado
Senator Mark Udall of Colorado has pledged to never cut Social Security benefits and he supports Elizabeth Warren's bold plans to reduce student debt, increase the minimum wage, and fight for middle class families against powerful interests. His Senate race in Colorado is being watched closely by both sides as it could determine who controls the Senate.
Jeff Merkley, Oregon
Jeff Merkley is one of the boldest leaders in the Senate because he isn't afraid to take on the big fights like breaking up the big banks, expanding Social Security benefits, defending our privacy, and fighting to ensure Senate rules represent the will of the people. He led the campaign to reform the filibuster and end it's paralyzing effects on Washington.
Bruce Braley, Iowa
Bruce is the leader of the House Populist Caucus. He's in one of the most important Senate races in the country for progressives.
