Happy we got some results on the Election Day from Hansville, WA

We don’t even get to start counting the rest of our votes in Alaska until Tuesday! So we won’t know results here for awhile.

hey from GA! great to be with y’all!

Hi Misty 👋🏾

Hello from New Jersey with the Blue and Beige flag. No changes in Congress from New Jersey.

Hello from Buffalo NY! Very exciting morning.

Yes!!!

Hooray!!

Hi Everyone, Lindsay in Raleigh here. Welcome to all our NEW advocates joining us from across the nation. We're SO excited to have you, especially in this groundbreaking moment.

hey Karyne!!!

Hi Lindsay! Not new ;) But glad to see you!

Hi, folks! No computer microphone or camera here, but I’m all ears!

Welcome Roxanne

It is so nice to see a woman of color in the presidential office! It's about time and her housing policy is key to helping out anti-poverty efforts!

Cubans for Biden

Amen Alaina

@Cecilia, hey dear friend.@Alaina -- *snap, snap* to that!

RESULTS is READY!

I am in Clark County Nevada today - wifi is finally working for the first time this week where we are!!! Just in Time for RESULTS!!!

Fantastic, Judy! :)

Welcome Judy

Elections WORK!!!

yes Joann

Yes, Joanne!

Yes!

I've already started. Even before the election I got a letter to the editor published calling on Congress to support global health in the COVID-19 relief bill.

Yay Oscar! Great to see you :)

Hi, Karina. Good to see you (your initials). Thanks for joining. Sue in Oakland.

ayyyy welcome welcome to new advocates !!!!!!!

No more "normal"! 100 days campaign, here we come!

And Alicia -- great leadership with our new advocates! <3

New advocate here! Glad to be here!

Welcome!

Thank you Joanne!

Welcome to all the new advocates and hello to longtimers! And yes, love that many are not waiting to get engaged -- love this action shot of RESULTS San Diego volunteers meeting with one of their representatives: https://scottpeters.house.gov/content/this-weeks-recap-1162020-1

welcome new folks!

from NYT opinion. “The American people should be prepared to do their part. People of good will and democratic ideals must not lose interest simply because Mr. Trump leaves center stage They need to remain engaged in the political process and demand better from their leaders if any progress is to be made.”

Great to see you Whitney!

Now we need to focus on achieving equity and justice. I'm eager to start the 100 Day Campaign.

Thanks! Likewise!

Yes me too

me too @pat, time to roll up our sleeves!

Love the new RESULTS logo resemblence to the chat icon. We need a lot of chats with a lot of different people to end poverty.

what’s the best way to contact a new MOC and their staff, best links please

come on GA :) I been tellin y’all! we’re more dynamic than you know! right GA?! :)

do we think that COVID-relief is possible in the lame duck session or will this wait until the new congress?

@Betsy: Ken (and others?) had some luck reaching them via their social media channels. But let's see what ideas/best practices others have.

Yay Georgia

Love the energy, @Misty!!

bit.ly/LegislatorLookupRESULTS

washerman Schultz for appropriations!!!

❤️❤️❤️

wow, that’s great about Wasserman Schultz!

John, can you send out your list of committee chairs that are changing?

yes, messaged my new rep on Facebook and Twitter. Got a response to email them at the campaign email, which I did. They responded promptly saying the request to meet was being forwarded on to the Campaign chair—they are trying to figure out who to meet with in the community.

For Roxanne and others, on shifting Sen GOP leadership https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/05/senate-republican-shakeup-434368

i think still reach out to new people via their campaign sources

In the House, Appropriations, Foreign Affairs, and Agriculture will definitely have new chairs

there will be other shakeups, including in the Senate

Thanks @Ken

You beccha (in my best Minnesota accent)

Thanks @Meredith! Great updates

Reminder to drop questions here!

RESULTS advocates are doing great work out here!!!

We STILL need a strong COVID19 Relief Bill! We must persist, even going into a Lame Duck period.

I know HEROES had housing money, but Pelosi hasn't featured it in public exchanges with Mnuchin. Is it still priority in HOuse?

Myquestion is: If the Senate goes 50-50, who is the majority leader, who is the minority leader?

During the Clinton Administration, the USDA did research into hunger and food security. The USDA was told by Republican administrations to stop this research. Has any of this research been restored?

If Senate is 50/50, Chuck Schumer would be Majority Leader b/c VP Harris can break the tie.

Till Harris's seat is replaced, there can be only 49 Dems.

Thanks, @Jos.

strategy for outgoing congress members who have been champions on our issues? how can we reach them effectively to take action in December

The MOCs have more voters living in rural areas. Do you have any data showing evictions pending in rural housing or foreclosures in rural counties? That would have more impact on my Rep Steve Stivers..

I would imagine the CA gov will fill Harris' seat before Jan 20, unless CA requires an election to fill vacancy

Who will take Sen. Harris’ place in the senate as she moves up to VP?

We don't know yet, Diana.

I'm sure there are a number of CA Democrats who will be vying for her seat.

Local LTE’s congratulating winning MoC’s and calling on them to help local folks with these Covid-19 Relief needs? Would such LTEs seem partisan, or would that be a good way to build relationships?

Gov. Newsom will decide who fills Harris’ seat

Aren't tight-fisted R Senators more in control now than WH, given election results?

USDA food insecurity data: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-us/key-statistics-graphics.aspx

@ Mary Martin, not necessarily given Ga goes to a runoff and not all final counts are in. NC, my home state, is STILL counting votes. We won't have our final tallies until the 13th.

Exactly what John said. There's a LOT of "minor" things that a new administration can easily do regardless of Senate control. Paris Accord, WHO membership, etc.

I think the pubic charge rule has been halted thus far from a fed. judge

please how can we get assistance for those suffering from the pandémic in Cameroun

Yes, it has, Betsy.

and how to find current "food scarcity" data: https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/?measures=FIR

for US

Lynne, you can phrase your LTE with a general congratulations - writing no matter what party - and calling them to leadership on our issues.

how can we get some support when you have a volunteer program in Africa

We are here to build those relationships across the board and supervise our elected offials with respectful persistence. This is what RESULTS advocates do best!

The famous Mea!!!

I would ma'am

Love the Virtual Thanksgiving Feast! It’s such an easy way to pull in friends that admire our work who feel like “I can’t do that, but I really support what you’re doing!”

fyi for those wondering what "public charge" is or looking for more info on some of the current Administrative threats to anti-poverty programs, can see a summary with comments RESULTS has submitted here: https://results.org/blog/results-responds-to-white-house-proposals-that-threaten-low-income-families/

Welcome to all the new advocates! And I'd missed this latest news on public charge (perhaps others have been distracted with other news this week?!!?!?!) https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-virus-outbreak-chicago-immigration-elections-e014e6c64bfaa027739c0d0b7ade50fd

Hi Steve Arnold!!!!

Hi Steve!

It feels like we just overcame dictator!

Thank you Room 7!

Let's hand the floor to Lisa.

Hi, Cecilia and Oscar

yes. bipartisanship is key

That was wonderful! Enjoyed getting to meet folks from around the country.

I am making them cards

Great idea LaShon

yes we can

that is a great idea

Filling up the map

Outreach to Indivisibles who won’t have as much to do .

We have an official meeting Monday, but we want to engage our new Senator and new Congressional Dist 3 member and plan as a team

From Gail Dolson - marin County- grow group to be more than just me- more media-

Expand my media outreach with letters to more papers.

I’m going to reach out to NH Senators and reps.

Excited to read Teresa's media in TX! :)

Post election “what comes next?” Zoom outreach meeting. In 2016 that was a huge re-vitalization for us.

Growing the group, moving our rep up the champion scale.

As well as CT

Great Lucinda!

Learning to articulate Results goals in terms that will resonate with conservatives (motivated by Jim Drigger’s session at the IC).

Building relationships with new Senator, deepen relationships with continuing, and grow group.

Alaska wants to continue encouraging and supporting our reps to assume leadership on our issues.

Re-engage members in my group who have not been active and

I am a new Results Advocate. I hope to utilize my skills as a writer and a public speaker in this fight to eradicate poverty

Gail Dolson- Reach out to new Senator Elect who will replace Kamala Harris

Using online tools to recruit even more people

Cindy, that was a really good meeting, my first ;)

Use the muddled crazy election to say, "try advocacy to make a difference".

RESULTS Raleigh Lindsay's priority: get our newest 6 members comfortable and empowered with a role or issue to focus on, meet with our new Rep, and GET a Face to Face meeting with our re-elected Senator Tillis. Throughout his entire first term, we were never given a Face to Face and it's time to change that!

We’re going to have Jim Driggers help us in 2021

I worked on the campaign for the opponent of my new Representative -- so I will be working with a new member of Congress who I didn't originally support. Having the pertinent reminder from @Ken that no matter who is in office, we must work with them.

If you have a new member - research their background to see if they have an interest or something in their background that will give them common ground with us

Reach out to new voters

Engaging with new members of congress based on common values

Would you join us a for 100 day project?

i am motivated to keep having conversations with new people. even if someone doesn't stick around with RESULTS, i believe having these conversations one person at a time is so valuable to spread our message and values!!!

Try to connect Results with other youth organizations, such as Campus Compact and Youth Service America to engage young people through service-learning programs that connect with issues of social justice and youth civic engagement'

Getting to know our new Congresswoman. Creating appropriate expectations based on who we are speaking with

Commit to media work. First ever face-to-face meeting with one of our senators. (fingers-crossed)

@Sam -- YES!!! Thank you for your leadership on this.

Room 7: new advocate Muhammad from Dallas getting involved! AK continued work with MOC; Kansas inspired to connect with outgoing staff to introduce them to new MOC. NE nurturing continued work within group. WA keep meeting with MOC.

is it possible to go to both meetings? how long is the new advocate training webinar?

Nice meeting you, Diana!! Tari and Bill

@Karyne, our welcoming new advocates webinar will be 1 hour.

I heard from Star at University of Oklahoma who is in medical school (and actually in the lab right now while also on the webinar!) who got involved with RESULTS to tackle issues marginalized communities face, particularly in medical settings

we had folks from Cameroon!!!

thanks Alicia! will

We have a 3prong plan, came from RESULTS. 1) As a newly elected YOU what will you do to alleviate poverty and create opportunity in the US & worldwide 2) Will you publish your ideas on hunger, poverty, and economic opportuiity on your website? 3) will you meet with us within 30 days o your inauguration?
