Election 2026

We are focused on electing progressive candidates in all elections throughout Southwest Michigan this year. We need all hands on deck to volunteer for canvassing, sign up for phone & text banking, or join our postcard writing team. We will have a massive voter registration drive. We need everyone to get out the vote, protect our polls, and drive people to the polls!

If you live in Kalamazoo County, we want to know what keeps you up at night. Tell us at the survey below. We will post the responses for candidates who are running for office this year—local candidates, candidates in Congressional District 04, and statewide candidates, regardless of party.
