Let’s make some more GOOD TROUBLE!
With less than a month before the midterm election, let’s put our efforts towards increasing voter participation. The best way to do that after in-person canvassing, is by phonebanking. There are several options for making calls either on your own or with a group. All of these are non-partisan and provide training over zoom.
- Make calls to BIPOC communities with Center for Common Ground using their PDI platform
- Sign up here: https://www.centerforcommonground.org/phonebanks#events
- I co-lead the phonebank on Wednesdays at 4 PM ET
- Make calls with your community of faith and UU the Vote
- Sign up here: https://www.uuthevote.org/events/
- Make calls with other UUs from around the country
- Make calls locally to help pass Ballot questions 1 and 4 with Mass. Voter Table
- Sign up here: https://actionnetwork.org/campaigns/2022-mvt-phone-banks
- Help make a difference supporting referendums that mesh with our UU values
To qualify as a Good Trouble Congregation, we need about 800 more calls to be made. Help me chip away at making calls, keep a tally, and let me know how many you make. Let me know how I can support you in this effort.
Help protect our democracy. If ever there was a time to get involved, this is it!
Also, to make sure you’re ready to vote, Mary from Indivisible Worcester will be in Fellowship Hall on Sunday, Oct. 23rd, during coffee hour to assist with voter registrations and help you find your polling place. Due to redistricting, your polling location on Election Day may have changed. We will also help you find places to vote during the early voting days, Oct. 22 through Nov. 4.
