Thanks for volunteering to phone bank our members in AZ, TX, PA, and IL.

(red star)STEP 1 FOR ALL PHONE BANK VOLUNTEERS: To protect our members' privacy, you must complete a Confidentiality Agreement before you start calling. /wiki/spaces/MembDBcnda/pages/3529246261

STEP 2: Please join our wechat group for phone bank volunteers. Add Elizabeth (wechat ID elizaj) and she will connect you.

STEP 3: Familiarize yourself with the message. Overview of our message:

  1. Election Alerts! The voters on our lists need to be aware of the upcoming deadlines for voter registration, ballot requests and ballot return.
  2. Backup Plan! We also want to tell them about the FWAB (Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot) for anyone who is afraid they will not make these deadlines.
  3. Reconnect! A lot of people haven't heard from DA China at all since joining. We want to welcome them and invite them to our WeChat groups.
