Summary

You want to make a difference to our democracy? Get more people registered to vote. Today we talk to Jason Berlin, the Executive Director of Field Team 6, which since its founding in 2019 has helped register almost 2.9 million Democratic voters, the vast majority in swing states. Jason and his team are a proudly “partisan voter registration” group looking to “track down every good hearted eligible voter and get them on the voter rolls where they belong”. Relentlessly optimistic, Jason and his army of volunteers have disproved the idea that you can’t out organize cheating, and know that non-voters are actually the key to democratic victories across this country. So tuck in and listen to what you can personally do to turn the tide and shut these cheaters down in 2023, 2024, and beyond.
