At this introductory session, you will learn about why this tactic matters so much, and about the candidates that we will be supporting this month. Then you can decide whether you are willing to give it a try. During this challenging period of social isolation, it is helpful for all of us to engage in meaningful work and connect with others.

We are fortunate to be partnering with Democracy Action Marin in our virtual phonebanking program. Its leader, Susan Bolle, is a veteran phonebank trainer and an expert on the overall electoral landscape. We all have concerns about the impact of COVID on 2020 elections and this presentation will be an opportunity to become more informed.

Phone banking is the most well-researched and effective 2-way voter communication tools after canvassing. According to Susan, "we’ve talked with significantly more people than usual in the phone banks we’ve held recently. People are home, they’re feeling isolated and they want to connect. Some of our recent conversations have been very moving."
