Dear John,

I hope this finds you safe and sane in our current "alone together" existence.

We've got another Zoom call scheduled for 2:00 today and would love it if you'd join us. You may have heard Zoom has had some issues lately, and we may end up seeking an alternative. For now, I've made it invite-only which may eliminate any problems. Please shoot me an email and say "send link", and I'll mail back invite and password.

If you're a bit unsure about how to get started with Zoom, I've borrowed Indivisible East Bay's very handy how-to document which might help. (Thank you IEB.)

Thanks to the incredibly resourceful and dedicated people who make up the resistance, virtual phone and text banks have been springing up all over the place. I've participated in a few this week and it's been a very rewarding and productive use of some lockdown time. Here are a bunch more coming up:

Sun.-Tues. 4/5-4/7: Phone--WI Supreme Court
Mon. 4/6: Text--WI Supreme Court
Tues. 4/7: Text--Vote by Mail/Florida
Weds. 4/8: Phone--Josh Harder/Christy Smith
Weds thru Fri, 4/8-4/10: Text--Vote by Mail/Georgia
Sat. 4/11: Phone--Josh Harder/Christy Smith
M/W/F: Texting--various races
Daily: Phone--Mark Kelly AZ/various CA races
Daily: Turnout2020, calling voters in swing states

Also, please fill out your CENSUS! It's super easy to complete online. I just now did mine and it took all of four minutes.

A quick ask: Despite the lockdown, our group continues to incur almost $180 in expenses each month. These are automatically charged to me. I've been laid off due to COVID-19 and it's really a pinch. I know many of us are struggling. If you are able to help, please drop me a line.

Hang in there, we've got this!

Best regards,
Stand Up San Francisco
