No! This is work in collaboration with a South Asian Democrat aligned organization called They See Blue. Here is the link to the mobilize: www.mobilize.us/engageblue/e...

As a matter of interest, why are you calling South Asian voters specifically?

Also immigrants were one of the groups to go more towards Trump in 2024 so we are trying to get them more involved in the political process and activism against Trump!

This is because I’m working with a South Asian organization which gives me the lists of voters to call. There are also a couple of other goals we’re working on - like electing Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and getting establishment Dems to endorse Mamdani
