In our June General Meeting, the chapter voted to block out four weekends as All-In Weekends for our 2021 endorsed electoral campaigns.

On this weekend we'll:

- Use our full resources to mobilize members to volunteer for our endorsed electoral campaigns
- Block out these dates as dates when the chapter and ours committees and campaigns will not plan public events or internal events with significant turnout efforts other than work to support our endorsed electoral campaigns.

Help us to make sure that all our endorsed candidates will have volunteers who can hand out literature outside all their polling places all day on election day and perform other critical tasks to help get out the vote for our Pittsburgh DSA's endorsed candidates in this year's elections.

Let us know your availability to help and if you have a preference for which campaign to help, and we'll connect you with the campaign teams. They'll follow up with you to figure out scheduling and polling location that works best for you, and a time to do a training and get you the materials you'll need.

Join the Elections & Pressure Campaigns Committee as we begin a process of looking back on our campaigns this year to learn from what worked and didn't and documenting our lessons, tools, and skills developed over the course of four electoral campaigns to strengthen our organizing for future campaigns.

Additionally, we will discuss ideas for what we can do next in our organizing to make use of the offices we've won, fight for legislation and changes to the city and county budget proposals, and continue engaging the voters who were supportive of our ideals and candidates during the election.
