Action Kits /
Overview
Playbook 6 marks the final and most powerful phase of our Power Playbook series—where we bring together everything we’ve built to drive impact at scale. Power Rising for Midterms fuses building power and holding power accountable, mobilizing our nationwide network to deliver record-breaking voter participation, and safeguarding our elections.
From a coordinated August activation that drives primary turnout to strategic engagement around civic holidays like National Voter Registration Day and Disability Voting Rights Week, this playbook centers year-round momentum. As we move into October, we surge into Voter Education Week, elevate the critical work of election officials through Election Hero Day, promote Vote Early Day, and expand election observation efforts across the country.
This is our moment to activate, protect, and deliver—ensuring voters are informed, engaged, and able to fully participate in our democracy.
