So glad you interviewed Jessica Craven. She is one of the best coaches to get people motivated. She even will give a script that you can use. This week the Convention was outstanding. This was not the end. In some ways it’s the beginning. Jessica and you, Scott, are great motivators. Everyone needs to find something that they can do. It’s important that you realize that every little thing, when added to what everybody else is doing is like a freight train. We can go far and fast. We can defeat not only don-old and jd but all the other weirdos in the House and Senate thereby making it easier to get things done when Kamala and Tim win. This was a great ending to a perfect week. Thanks so much.
Yes, Monica, you are so right- every little thing we do in support of Kamala adds up to big things! Someone, who knows who it will be, will be the straw that breaks the orange camel's back. Keep on tryin' till we reach the higher ground.
I agree. I knew nothing about Jessica until Scott Dworkin posted this. The interview really impacted me. Watching & listening to the video has given me even more hope. What a marvelous village we're building!
Carry water, however I do now and I will do my best to chop wood and carry as much water as I possibly can. Jessica is an awesome person and so are you Scott! You keep me updated on what’s going on. I was upset about the trolls being on my Substack and blocking them was not enough. I even had a couple of Elon musk email wanting to follow me, I know it was probably an AI. I never used twitter even before he bought it. I thought it was bogus but still I don’t think he would be someone I would follow ever. Thank you for all you do Scott.
I am trying, but I have been physically sick from worrying about our future. On the radio, trump said he wanted Harris and Biden dead. He has some sycophantic followers who are willing to do anything for him. He should be in jail and I think that is treasonous behavior by his actions. I trying to hold on. I live in Georgia, lots of trump supporters here and I try not to engage with them. It’s getting hard to and that’s why I am sick, I was a soldier and I took an oath to protect and defend the constitution and the country against all enemies…foreign and domestic. I never thought I would have to do that in America.
Nice to see two of my favorite go-to democracy warriors talking together to us. I read you both daily and appreciate your insights, thoughts, and spirit so very much. I encourage everyone who hasn’t yet tuned in to Jessica to do so!
Wow that was great. I feel a bit embarrassed though in that I couldn’t figure out what Scott and Jessica were talking about until I had a chance to look at the written version of what they were saying….”chop wood, carry water”….now that I can see it it makes sense to me 🤦🏼 guess I really am a “visual person”!! 😄
Through Jessica's newsletter, I found numerous Postcard Writing campaigns I could do. I am extremely uncomfortable talking on the phone or knocking on doors, so these are things I can invite friends over to help get done. We already sent 100 postcards for the AZ primary, and are working on 300 for Postcards to Swing States, and 200 through Moms Rising, all to go out in October. I am also a poll worker, so EVERYONE please check your voter registration NOW and make sure it's active. In AZ you have until October 7 to register to vote, so Let's GO!
Scott, I’m afraid. The GOP is quiet. Trump says they don’t need votes.
I’m afraid that they are quietly building a coalition of MAGA election officials who are going to refuse to certify election results in their districts, throwing the election into chaos and denying Harris her votes.
Something is up and I don’t trust those nefarious assholes
They have done this for years, this is no different this time. But luckily Trump isn't in control of the federal Gov't. Trump is full of it, they need votes. His ego won't let him beg for them. If there is a conspiracy afoot to refuse to certify election results then there will be arrests. And with Marc Elias being hired on to the Harris squad, all of these concerns you have are absolutely being addressed, from every angle.
They are. So what can you do? Volunteer with your local Democrats to be a Poll OBSERVER. It isn't a paid gig, but you watch for anything that looks unusual: people hanging around to intimidate voters, officials mishandling ballots, poll workers talking about politics in front of voters, ANYTHING that looks weird. YOU don't confront them, you report them. It will be at the local level where they try to cheat. Let's not let them!

It was such a joy to get to chat with Jessica, really is amazing all the work she is able to do!

I love Jessica Craven. She is doing great work. And this picture of Michelle Obama is too good.
Same here!
Yes. Do something, and then do more.
I agree!
Jessica is the best. Period.
Thanks for introducing us to Jessica. She’s doing great work!
One of the great ones! Thanks for watching Joanne!
Thanks again Scott. I knew absolutely nothing about Jessica until you posted this!

Oh wow. This is gonna be great!
I really enjoyed talking with Jessica!
You are both national treasures. We are fortunate, indeed, for all that you do.
Paula you are wonderful thank you!

I didn’t know about chop wood and a

Thanks Cynthia and keep blocking the trolls. Their goal is to make you not be active online. Don’t let them!

We will be ok Cynthia. Be sure to take breaks from the news as it can be overwhelming at times!

Well done Jude SIX HUNDRED postcards! Postcards are so essential, by far the most effective campaign mail people receive. Keep up the great work!!!

Wow. I didn’t know they hired Elias. That is good news. Thank you so much for addressing my fears. I feel better

She is a force of nature and incredibly inspiring. I think she could motivate a tree stump to get up and walk. That's how good she is!
Great interview with Jessica Craven!
Thanks Annie! Isn’t Jessica great?
