Hello IndiMarin Phonebankers!
On November 5th, voters will determine our future as a nation. But which voters will show up - those who support freedom of speech, reproductive freedom, voting rights, gun safety, and a sane climate policy - or those who would send us careening off course? That answer is up to us.
But it is not enough for each of us to vote. We must get others out to vote! And that means phonebanking. So, with ballots in some key states already on their way to voters, the time is now to take action and sign up NOW to make phone calls with Indivisible Marin.
We’re offering two calling options with NEW GOTV SCRIPTS. First, we’re calling into battleground states for Harris and Walz. These calls will also include outreach for some Senate candidates. In addition, since California is key to taking back the House, we’re calling for Rudy Salas, the Democratic Congressional candidate in CA-22, who is in a very tight race.
Our phonebanks are on Saturdays from 9:30 to 11:30am PT and Tuesdays from 4 to 6pm PT. We hope you’ll attend on a regular basis between now and November 5th! In addition, once trained at one of our phonebanks, you’ll be able to make calls independently on your own schedule as well.
We’ll also host extended get-out-the-vote phonebanks every day from Friday, November 1st, through Tuesday, November 5th. We are determined to keep calling until every single Democratic supporter has mailed in, dropped off, or shown up to cast their ballot, because we know that if we turn out our voters, we’ll win!
The margins in this election are razor thin. If you have any doubt about the impact of phonebanking, consider this cautionary tale: In the 2017 Virginia House of Delegates race, control of the state House came down to one seat in the 94th district. When all the votes were counted in that district, the election was a tie, so officials chose the winner of the 94th by pulling a name out of a bowl. The Republican was declared the winner, and Republicans took control of the state House by just one seat. If one more Democrat had shown up to vote in that race, Democrats would have controlled the House. One more phone call to one more voter would have changed the outcome.
Come phonebank with us through October 29th, and we’ll refresh your skills and support you as you make calls to voters. It’s important to come before November 1st so that you’re trained and can join us in the final five days to get out the vote. There will be no training provided in those final five days so that our mentors will be free to make calls. Please sign up NOW to make phone calls with Indivisible Marin!
We appreciate your past phonebanking, and know you care deeply about our country, so please join us as often as possible and help bring this election home.
