Text Banking
The Indivisible Payback Project is launching a new peer-to-peer text banking outreach campaign to engage voters across nine target states to take action with Indivisibles in their area to flip their Senate seats. No matter if you’re brand-new to this or a long-time leader, commit to do the work to win back the Senate this fall — sign up and they’ll send you everything you need to start reaching key voters!

Want to learn more about how to make phone bank calls? Attend a conference call to get trained by Grassroots Democrats HQ. Sessions are available Thursday evenings.

Letter/Postcard Writing
At Vote Forward, you can get addresses now for swing state voters who are unlikely to vote. That means, they are registered Democrats who didn’t vote in the 2018 election. We want them to vote in 2020! Vote Forward gives you a template letter to print, and you can personalize it if you like.
Grassroots Democrats HQ provides monthly-specific targeted letter/postcard writing addresses.
Swing Left groups are hosting house parties where they provide lists of people not registered in presidential swing states, then explain how you send letters enclosing voter registration materials. Host a party!
Locally, Pen Connection meets most every Sunday. All writers are welcome. Look in ISB’s weekly newsletter calendar or email ethanseye@gmail.com for details. For more local postcard writing opportunities, send an email to SBprogcoalition@gmail.com, include “postcards” in the subject line and address message to Luella.
