Actions for Week of November 1, 2020
VOTERS ASSEMBLE!
Instead of just ending with a video, let’s start with one. And, I swear, this was followed directly in my stream by a tweet from Marvel telling everyone to vote (with Captain America’s shield as the “O”!)
This is the final stretch! Let’s get it over the finish line!
Monday November 2 and Tuesday November 3

New York 22
Nov. 2 from 9 AM to 9 PM, Nov. 3 from 6 AM to PM

Text to get out the vote in Ohio, a toss-up state that both sides really want to win.
Iowa
Shifts starting from 10 AM on Nov. 2 and 8 AM on Nov. 3
We think of Iowa as deep red, but Theresa Greenfield is hot on the heels of Joni Ernst in the Iowa Senate race. The polls are swinging back and forth. Our calls can push Theresa over the finish line.
Kansas
Nov. 2 9 AM to 9 PM and Nov. 3 8 AM to 8 PM (CST)
Another state that's not as red as we usually think. This text banking session is to get out the vote for Dr. Barbara Bollier, who would be the first woman physician in Congress.
November 3
Election Day: Talk to voters in Florida and Pennsylvania
Shifts from 10 AM - 8 PM
Florida and Pennsylvania can both determine the election outcome. Polls like good, but polls don’t vote. We need to persuade voters and encourage turnout.
Phone Bank for Sara Gideon in Maine
Sessions starting at 10 AM
Make calls with NARAL to protect your right to control your own bodies.
