🇬🇧 Calling from the United Kingdom
The special relationship has a phone number.
The NHS, the climate, the safety of the post-war order, the next round of trade pressure. American elections shape the choices Britain lives with. You can call US voters about them. 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 United Kingdom 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
Who calls from the UK
Labour members and trade unionists. NHS staff and patients defending public healthcare. Climate organisers. Students and tutors. Internationalists who have watched the special relationship decide a budget, a policy, or a war. If you have been paying attention, you already know the work. The accent does the rest.
Legal basis
UK nationals may volunteer personal services to US campaigns under FEC 11 CFR 100.74 without compensation. UK electoral law restricts foreign donations to UK parties. It does not restrict UK individuals from volunteering in foreign elections as private citizens.

What is at stake for Britain
US trade pressure already shapes NHS procurement and drug pricing. US tech rules set the floor British regulators answer to. American positions on Ukraine, on Israel, on climate, decide the room you walk into when you make your case in London.
