Description
Join Eco.Logic, Citizens' Climate Lobby, Mappy Hour, and the Environmental Voter Project to increase the number of environmentalists who vote.
The phone banking will involve a brief training followed by calling environmentalists to encourage them to sign up to vote-by-mail. By calling these environmentalists now - while they're likely to be home - we are greatly increasing the chances of their signing up for vote-by-mail and actually voting in their upcoming elections. To participate, all you'll need is a computer or tablet and a (cellphone or landline) phone.
Note: we're doing sign-ups on Zoom to make this easier to organize. While we're on the phone we can zoom chat each other with questions/stories etc. If you've never phone banked before, we PROMISE you'll be okay. Environmentalists are, usually, pretty nice ;)
