Ticktock. The clock is running down for the midterm elections, but there's still plenty of effective ways to help Democrats.

Our mailboxes are bursting with messages from candidates asking for help. No surprise, really. We are getting down to the wire, with only a few weeks left to ensure that Democrats win the U.S. House and Senate.

Polls tell us this candidate is pulling ahead. No, it’s that candidate who is inching up. Tossups across the country number in the dozens of races. It would be easy to feel overwhelmed, whether we live in battleground states or if we don’t live in battleground states.

But, we need to – and can – do more than worry and wring our hands, waiting for Election Day.

If you’ve been texting, phone calling, canvassing, or writing postcards to drum up support and get out the vote, you’re familiar with the question we ask voters: Do you have a plan to vote?

So that’s the question we are asking you now: Do you have a plan? But this time we’re not talking about your plan to vote. Instead, we are asking you to make a plan to use your time – the precious little time we have left – to take action.

Please commit to an action a day, or an action on however many days that you have the time and energy.

There are so many options. At Together We Elect, we decided to compile lists of effective actions in significant races. Some candidates will be familiar, like John Fetterman, Tim Ryan, or Cheri Beasley. Others might be less well-known, like Elaine Luria, Matt Cartwright, Jevin Hodge, or Elissa Slotkin. All are running in close races that are winnable with a little help.

Counting down the days to Nov. 8, Together We Elect will give you, every week, an array of great opportunities to text and make calls. You can get access to our Action-a-Day recommendations and links by signing up for the Together We Elect newsletter.

You can also find the lists in the News & Analysis section at the bottom or the home page of our website.

We all want to wake up on Nov. 9 knowing we did all we could to elect pro-choice, climate-conscious, gun safety supporting candidates. If we all do a little, it will mean a lot.
