About Fated States:

Launched during the 2020 election, Fated States is an offshoot of the Fated Mates podcast, in which hosts Sarah MacLean (New York Times bestselling author) and Jennifer Prokop (critic and editor) bring listeners together for weekly phonebanks to ensure a Democratic sweep.

Since its launch, Fated States has delivered:

• More than 450 volunteers to make nearly 425,000 calls to get out the vote during the general elections of 2020 and 2022,

• More than 75 volunteers to make 125,000 calls into Georgia during the runoff elections in early 2021,

• Nearly 50 volunteers to make 25,000 calls into Kansas in advance of the state’s constitutional amendment to restrict abortion access,

• Volunteers to phonebank for California special elections, to Beto O’Rourke’s well-check calls into Texas during the ice storms of 2021, and more.

Phonebankers with Fated States have supported organizations working to elect Democrats in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Nevada, New York City, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin and more.

Jen & Sarah are joined by podcast listeners and some of our favorite authors for weekly Saturday afternoon phone banks all election season long to keep the House and Senate blue. Phonebankers play games, win prizes, talk romance, meet new friends, and make some calls to save democracy!
