NOW Is The Time!

11 Weeks Until The Election

 

"Consider this to be your official ask:  Michelle Obama is asking you - no I'm telling ya'll - to DO something!"   

 

Happy Wednesday, Activists! 

 

Are you enjoying the Democratic Convention?  We at Indivisible Philadelphia HQ sure are!  If it's not the inspiring speeches it sure is the music.  So let's do as former FLOTUS Michelle Obama instructs, and let's get busy!

 

We continue to talk to voters at the doors and tell them about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.  This is the best way to turn our excitement into votes, because once they know about them, voters are fully on the Harris/Walz train. 

 

So you can canvass with us.  And you can sign up for our 35 Doors Program and talk to your neighbors and answer their questions about this team and about the election.  Or do some of the other things we have listed below.  We have lots of options for you!

 

We're looking forward to seeing you out there!

PHONE BANKING

Calling and talking to voters is very effective!

 

The technology for talking to voters when we make calls has really improved, so if you haven't tried this recently, try it now.  You'll have more conversations. 

 

This Friday, August 23, 3:00 PM Indivisible National Phonebank for the Harris/Walz campaign 

The Democratic National Convention ends on Thursday, August 22.  So the next day we'll capitalize on the energy of seeing Kamala take the stage as the Democratic candidate for president as we make calls on Friday.

 

We’ll be dialing into Nevada -- one of the top presidential battlegrounds where the election will be decided this year.  Come help us make sure Nevadans are fired up and ready to catapult Kamala into the Oval Office.

Join us every other Wednesday to write postcards together at this lovely coffee shop.  We will supply the cards too!  We ask that you provide your own stamps.
