At our Midterms Creator Rally, Skokie school board member @bushraamiwala shared a challenge rooted in that experience: take five people with you to vote. Text 49 people you know. Give an hour to a campaign.
A ride, a text, an invitation to show up together. You never know which effort could make the difference.
Who holds office shapes our everyday lives. That’s why who runs matters.

At our Midterms Creator Rally, activists, elected officials, and creators came together to talk about turning online influence into real-world impact: sharing personal stories, connecting issues to everyday life, and making it easier for people to get involved.
One reminder stayed with us: we don’t have to wait for hope to act. Taking action together can help us find it.
Don’t wait for hope. Help create it.
At our Midterms Creator Rally last week, Secretary @PeteButtigieg reminded us that “hope is the consequence of action more than its cause.”
Stay energized. Bring your people. Let’s turn hope into turnout 🗳️

"On Tuesday evening, thousands of content creators – some with a few thousand followers and others with up to a million – tuned in online to hear from a cast of Democratic officials, activists and prominent influencers about what’s at stake in the 2026 midterms.
The goal of the virtual confab: to give creators, both budding and established, a framework for how to talk politics and mobilize voters, and to remind them of their influence and reach as the country enters the final stretch of the 2026 midterms." - @KMaxGreenwood, @C_and_E
