Field Team 6 is a nonprofit organization launched in 2019 with a simple mission: Register Democrats. Save the World. We do this by conducting openly partisan voter registration across 12 battleground states. By targeting the states we need most, we aim to establish Democratic majorities in state legislatures, grow our House majority, flip the Senate, and take back the White House.
