It was about an hour and fifteen minutes. Lots of people running for local offices (free advertising?), very few "big names" on the call. The biggest names I recognized/saw were Jennifer Garner, Senator Debbie Stabenow, Trae Crowder (the Liberal Redneck), Ezra Levin (Indivisible co-founder). The lieutenant governor of MN, Peggy Flanagan opened the guest slots. It was hosted by Chip Jones from Arkansas. He's the head of Dirt Road Democrats. In theory, Bobby Berk is famous, but I never watched his shows. I just looked him up, he's from Queer Eye on Netflix (I dropped Netflix because I rarely watched anything on it) and he's an interior designer(?). I'd seen some of them on The Rachel Maddow Show over the decades.

Closed with some advise for everyone:
Get involved with the state party or precinct.
Adopt a precinct if necessary.
Go to beauty or barbershops and ask to hang up posters and leave information.
Go to clubs or rent a party bus to advertise. (Lots of rural areas have Democrats who think they're the only ones, so they don't advertise.)
Have people sign pledge cards promising to register, vote, bring a friend to the polls, etc. and follow up with the people.

Donation places include:
rural4harris.com/give
democrats.org (There's an app associated?)
kamalaharris.com

They ended with "The road to the White House runs through rural America."

It was more like a long commercial with no interaction or seeing other people on the call other than the designated speakers.

Thought I'd share.
