Keep Engaged
Elections are right around the corner. Thanks for all the work you have done so far! Here are some more ideas (thanks for the ideas, Indivisible CT) to help on local, state, and national levels. We can do this!
Poll Workers Needed
Sign up to be a poll worker through Power the Polls
Gary Turco Campaign
This is a tight race in Newington for State Rep., and Gary could use your help. Call Jon Trister, or text, 203-715-2902, or email trister.jon2@gmail.com Also, the Newington DTC is hosting in person, as well as virtual, phone banks every Tuesday and Wednesday evening.
Osborne Campaign
Melissa Osborne is running for State Rep for Simsbury. Her opponent is Mike Paine (Paine's Inc. Recycling and Rubbish Removal). This would be an excellent campaign to work on. https://www.melissaforct.com/
Postcards
Last Chance Before Election Day! Please lend a hand and reach out one more time and contact voters in Georgia! Reply: prowo462@gmail.com The mailing dates for these postcards to Muscogee County in Georgia are from October 10th to 20th. Please help!
Letter writing
The Pen Power Project is the CT Against Gun Violence get-out-the-vote campaign. The goal is to elect candidates who put the safety of our communities above the "guns everywhere" agenda of the NRA. Please sign up and let CAGV know how many letters you're willing to write between now and Election Day (they’ll email a PDF with pre-formatted letters and the names of voters to mail). Click here or text LETTERS to 72572 to sign up now.
Help with Voter Registration
Two dates are scheduled: October 3 (with rain date Oct. 5) at the Hartford Public Library, outside. and October 20 at CCSU library, 3-5 pm. If you're interested in one of the voter registration events, contact prowo462@gmail.com, and we will connect you.
Phonebanking
We are working with Sister District MA-RI to phonebank for Pennsylvania candidates to turn PA Blue! Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays (6:30-8pm). This is a great way to do phonebanking, especially if you are new! Lots of handholding and support! Contact prowo462@gmail.com
Sponsor a Phonebank!
Can't make calls? Support someone who can! Pick a phonebank and pledge to support Sr. District MA-RI calls (you can set a cap). Whether you pledge 5¢ or $5 a call, you'll keep our Dialers for Democracy inspired and earn funds for our candidates. Thank you, sponsors! Contact prowo462@gmail.com.
