IMPORTANT PHONEBANK for elections in Virginia
Please JOIN US! on Saturday, October 25th from 12 to 2pm. The phonebank, organized by the Sister City Project, is working to hold the Virginia House (where all 100 seats are up for grabs), and driving voter engagement to flip the VA Governor’s mansion for a Democratic trifecta.
Phonebanking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact.
Sister City identifies supporters and lets them know why their vote matters. It speaks to undecided voters and recruits local volunteers for crucial state-legislative races. No experience necessary. Each Zoom phonebank includes training and check-ins for first-timers. Sister City shares successes and addresses questions throughout. Their veteran phonebank leaders will help you get comfortable, increase your effectiveness, and make sure you have a great experience.
