ELECTION 2026 RESOURCE HUB
FFDC is proud to sponsor VOTE BLUE!
"Vote Blue is an umbrella organization of New York City political clubs and progressive groups dedicated to electing Democrats up and down the ballot. Vote Blue is a successor to Keep PA Blue (2004) and Make Congress Blue (2018). We will campaign for key congressional candidates in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Our strategy is: flip the House and the Senate, and protect our democracy!"
FFDC is partnering with clubs and organizations all over the city to canvass in swing districts in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey as part of the Vote Blue coalition.
Final buses for the 2026 midterms!
Oct 31 – Nov 1 to canvass key swing districts in NY, NJ, and PA.
