🇦🇺 Calling from Australia
AUKUS, the price of insulin on the PBS, the climate targets we are bound to meet, the future of our region. American elections write the rules Australia lives inside. You can pick up the phone.
What it's already done: democratic-socialist and Justice Democrats–backed candidates have won a US Senate nomination, a DC mayoral primary, and multiple New York congressional primaries this cycle — several by margins under two thousand votes. See the full win-loss record below, then pick a race that still needs callers from Australia before its next election date.
Why this matters
Since the 2026 cycle opened, democratic-socialist and Justice Democrats–backed candidates have already won a US Senate nomination, a mayoral primary in the nation's capital, and two contested New York congressional primaries — several by a few thousand votes or fewer. Grassroots GOTV phone banking is the volunteer machine campaigns lean on hardest when a race is that close, and it is exactly the tactic international volunteers are legally free to do under FEC 11 CFR 100.74. Below is the full ledger: what's still live, and what has already been decided.
Who calls
Union members. Nurses and teachers defending Medicare and the PBS. Labor and Greens organisers. Climate campaigners. Refugee advocates. AUKUS sceptics. Anyone who has watched American politics decide something for us. You already understand the stakes. The platform handles the rest.
Best call window
8am to 11am AEST, the following morning
US East Coast primetime runs 6pm to 9pm ET. In Australia that lands 8am to 11am AEST the following morning. It is the most accessible call window on the platform. A shift over coffee can shift a precinct.
Legal basis
Australian citizens may volunteer personal services to US campaigns under FEC 11 CFR 100.74, provided you accept no compensation and make no financial contributions. This is not a donation. It is a phone call.

What is at stake for Australia
US trade policy reaches into pharmaceutical pricing here. US foreign policy shapes what we agree to in our region. US climate decisions move global targets we are signed up to. Whoever picks up the phone in America is shaping the conditions Australians wake up to.
Why it matters
American voters answer the phone to Australians. The accent is warm and unfamiliar enough to disarm a cold call, and clear enough to be understood from Pittsburgh to Phoenix. You do not need to be a political operative. A good faith conversation is the whole job.
Common questions
One conversation, one phone, one evening. Australia can show up for an election that already shapes our lives. Start when you are ready.
