What can I do to help Beto?

Just looking at 538, I'm dismayed to see that Beto O'Rourke is listed as only having a 1 in 4 chance to win the Senate seat of the hideous Cruz. I'm not in Texas, so can't go door to door. I've donated what small amount of $ I can. What else can I do -- from a distance of 2000 miles -- to help?

that lines you up to write and send postcards.

It's not just for Beto. Does anyone know what that website is?

Thanks.

Hi, Team Beto here! We're only 18 days away from the start of early vote & are entering the last phase of the campaign this weekend: Get Out the Vote (GOTV)! During GOTV, every conversation counts. Will you host a GOTV phone bank or come back to Texas to get out the vote for Beto?
