It's just one week to go until election day in Virginia! To help push us toward the finish-line (and victory up and down the ballot!) please join us for our last four virtual phonebanks to make calls on behalf of candidates Josh Cole and Briana Sewell. We know phonebanks are the best ways to reach voters and ensure that they know 1) the candidates running down ballot and 2) where to go to vote - and our phonebankers are having these critical conversations with VA voters right up until Election Day!
RSVP here for one or all four phonebanks - and share with a friend! It's so much easier than you think to phonebank, and we have experienced phonebankers to help you navigate your scripts, the call list, and any other questions you may have!
Wednesday, October 27th, 6:30-8pm
Thursday, October 28th, 6:30-8pm
Saturday, October 30th, 11am-1pm
Monday, November 1st, 6:30-8pm
If you're struggling this week to keep up your political energy (we know it's been a truly draining year, two years, four years?!), definitely check out this great op-ed from Sister District HQs own Gaby Goldstein, which included these inspiring words that we're taking with us into this final week of volunteering:
"State legislatures are ground zero in the fight for our democracy and our freedom. As we watch Republican-controlled legislatures eviscerate reproductive rights and sprint to gerrymander redistricted maps, Democrats must stay battle-ready and motivated to fight back. A mission-accomplished mentality could prove fatal.
Virginia is leading the South in progressive policy, and its success depends on retaining its Democratic trifecta. And Virginia’s odd-year elections often portend the nation’s political future. But Democratic success is not a foregone conclusion, and this year’s elections are stress tests for Democratic enthusiasm. Democratic strategists and voters must heed the warning from 2020: Beware the enthusiasm gap, and fight all the way down the ballot." - Gaby Goldstein, Washington Post, October 2020
As always, we appreciate all your work, and hope to see you online or in person at a canvass soon!
In solidarity,
Sister District DC/VA/MD
P.S. If you can't phonebank, please consider making a donation--this is the last week to raise funds for the final GOTV and media blitz- can you help us hit $15,000 this year for our great candidates? Every dollar counts in state races, and you can help us inch toward hitting this fundraising goal by Saturday!
Donate $20.21 to Our Candidates!
