11 Days Until Election Day
Happy Friday, Activists!
It's been a long haul my friends. And only 11 days left. But there's so much more to do! We have canvassing, phone banking, finishing up those postcards, helping voters get their ballots counted. Plus, you can pick from all the ways below to help voters get their votes actually counted. It's a huge deal.
So as usual, we hope you will join us for a canvass, which is the very best work you can do -- and is easy and so rewarding! If not, pick something else!
INFO TO VOTE EARLY WITH A MAIL-IN BALLOT
Do you want to vote early with a mail-in ballot but you didn't sign up for one? You still can!
You can vote with this method until 5:00 pm October 29th. Just request and vote a mail-in ballot in one visit to a Satellite Election Office and you can find them at this link for Philadelphia.
Come prepared with your PA driver’s license number, PennDOT issued photo ID number, or (if you do not have a PennDOT ID) the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Here is a simple graphic to show you how. Click the graphic or use this link for more info and other locations in PA for where you can vote this way.

INDIVISIBLE'S WOMEN WEDNESDAYS FOR HARRIS
These are free events focused on community and action, no fundraising involved. Let’s keep the momentum going until Kamala Harris is in the White House!
VOTER PROTECTION WORK
You can sign up now for working at a polling place and other work to protect the vote this year. The PA Voter Protection Volunteer Team has lots of opportunities, both in person & remote. They will have many trainings for you over the next month or two.
The Dems need thousands of poll observers on Election Day, as well as other important roles. Each role starts with you signing up for the one-hour virtual training before we start the assignment process. If you haven’t done so already, it is very helpful for planning purposes if you sign up for training sooner rather than later.

Pennsylvania’s voters with disabilities are entitled to limited assistance in casting their mail-in ballots.

Complete this form if interested: Designated Agent Signup Form

Ballot Cure Calls
Ballot cure volunteers help voters fix their mailed-in ballots that are at risk of rejection.
