Getting going faster rather than slower

The below "Outreach" is copied and pasted from Democracy Spring's Forcing a Choice Toolkit.

Outreach
It’s time to get started with outreach. You can do it! It’s simple and anyone can participate. The first step is to choose which politicians or candidates you'd like to focus your energy on. Start with one or two and go from there.
Here are a few things to consider when deciding who to focus your outreach efforts on:
Signers that are setting the narrative in their respective races will bring the most leverage to our effort. So try to focus on candidates that are reaching at least 30 percent in the polls.We also want to reach out to candidates/incumbents in any and all competitive races, and races with high profile candidates, as this is where the broader electoral story is being told.Potential allies and obvious opponents are good first targets, because they embody the choice we want all candidates and officeholders to make. If you reach out to an incumbent, you should reach out to their competitive challengers as well and vise versa, regardless of their party affiliation.Focus on candidates/incumbents that are representing your district or state, others are unlikely to pay much attention to your efforts.

The Toolkit says there are to be weekly EVFA discussions on Thursdays at 8:30 pm on Slack. I don't know if there was one this past Thursday.

A. Faster rather than slower

While it is understood that Democracy Spring had to dedicate all of its resources to planning the April civil disobedience action, the six or so months before April were also an important early time in the 2016 Congressional elections.

However understandable it is, Democracy Spring starting the above "Outreach" now is slow off the mark.

This calls for getting "Outreach" going all the more faster rather than slower now.

Prompt reporting by people of what they are doing, and easy modes of communication about the same, will contribute to speeding things up.

I am not familiar with Slack, but I will seek to participate there.

I have been reporting and communicating for months by means of this blog and tweets, and people may communicate back by means of comments on entries, email, and the google group I have set up.

B. Going outside of one's State or district

The last point in the above "Outreach" says, "Focus on candidates/incumbents that are representing your district or state, others are unlikely to pay much attention to your efforts."

I disagree with that and think my tweeting bank concept (see, e.g. FL23 tweeting bank) should be tried out as a way for people outside a State or Congressional district to lend a hand for "outreach" in the State or Congressional district.

It seems particularly beneficial for people to be able to contribute to "outreach" outside their own State or district, given the "Outreach" targeting guidelines, such as for targeting competitive districts.

"Outreach" can be speeded up if people can be given a choice to plunge in where there is already meaningful "outreach" going on and they can sense their help making a difference, such as in a competitive race.

Democracy Spring should think more about how people can contribute to "outreach" outside their own State or district.
