🇮🇪 Calling from Ireland
Ireland has always understood foreign elections.
The Irish-American story is older than the Republic. American policy decides what Ireland says in Brussels, in New York, on Palestine, on neutrality, on the multinationals that pay Irish wages. You can call US voters about it. Legally.
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 Ireland before its next election date.
Why this matters
Every DSA-aligned race we phone bank for — win or lose
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

Labour, Sinn Féin, Social Democrats and PBP voters. Trade unionists. Peace and Palestine solidarity organisers. Climate activists. Tech workers who have watched policy decide their employer. Anyone in the long Irish tradition of standing up for people not in the room. You bring the history. The campaign brings the script.
Legal basis

What is at stake for Ireland
American positions on Palestine and Ukraine shape what Ireland argues for in Europe. American tax and trade decisions move the multinationals that anchor the economy. American climate policy decides whether Paris targets hold. Ireland punches above its weight on principle. So does an Irish caller.
Why it matters
Why Irish callers carry
American voters answer the phone to Irish accents. The diaspora connection runs deep, and a friendly, direct conversation cuts through the noise of paid campaign ads. You do not need to be a seasoned canvasser. The campaign trains you, the platform handles the rest.
