November 6 – Election Day
Election Day Virtual Phone Banks to Battleground Districts!
Tuesday, November 6, 2018
Shifts: 7 – 10 AM, 10 AM – 1 PM, 1 - 4 PM, 4 - 7 PM
Sign up: https://events.mobilizeamerica.io/slsonoma/event/63890/
Our last chance to contact voters!
Please join us for a Swing Left Sonoma County Virtual Phone Bank from your home. There is still time to ensure that all Democratic voters get to the polls!
Research shows that volunteer phone banking can 'move the needle' 2.5 points during an election. That is a huge impact given the thin margins expected in many of the Battleground Districts this November.
Once you RSVP, one of our Sonoma County Hub Directors will be in touch with instructions and priorities.
Our work continues through November 6.
Every day our calendar changes. There are more postcard parties, canvassing, texting, and phone calling campaigns for the November election. Just check out our calendar!
Indivisible Sonoma County collaborates with other Indivisible groups and resistance organizations around the county and throughout California to expand the ways you can help us make a difference and vote people into Congress who will protect our democracy. And we put all those opportunities on our calendar. Easy to use, and easy to find ways to resist!
SCRIPTS
Violence. Lies. Corruption.
Make your calls to urge our Members of Congress to call out the violence, lies, and corruption. And urge our Senators to use every legislative tool available to put a halt to the Republican majority stacking and packing the courts with ultra-conservatives and incompetents. Enough is enough.
Time to make some calls.
Use our Phone Scripts 11.1-11.4.2018, and sign up for Amplify. We fuel the blue wave by our commitment to standing up for our constitution.
