DEMAND AN OPEN AND FAIR SENATE TRIAL

It's Halloween, let's scare Trump! Call our Senators and make sure they support a full and open trial in the Senate, with no room for any of McConnell's delays, dirty tricks, and fakery.

CALL CAROLYN MALONEY

Our rep is now the acting chair of Oversight. This is one of the three key committees investigating Trump's malfeasance. Thank her for her support, and urge her to keep up the pressure.  Indivisible has scripts you can use (so you don't have to worry what to say).

Sunday, November 3
CANVAS IN VIRGINIA
8 AM start

Go to Viriginia for the day (free bus!) and talk to voters who are already interested in voting blue. These are "warm" visits (no cold calls, so to speak) with a partner and a Sister District rep handy in case of questions. Sign up at the link.

CANVASSING TRAINING (for Nov. 10 trip)

If you're a bit shy about canvassing, attend this training session to learn more about how to do it.  This is for future canvassing in PA, and allows us to find out what matters the most to swing voters.  There are two parts to this, one session on November 3, and a second on the 10th in Doylestown, PA.
