7 Weeks Until Election Day
Happy Tuesday, Activists!
If you saw last Tuesday's debate, you remember the former president, when asked how he would replace the Affordable Care Act, blurt out: "We have concepts of a plan." And that's after nine years of threatening to replace it. Wow. Well, we actually have plans to win this election. And we're building on them. You can sign up to join us below!
One way you can join us on this drive to a victory is canvassing. And you can sign up for our 35 Doors Program, talk to your neighbors and answer their questions about the candidates and voting. Or you can sign up for some of the other options we have listed below. We have lots of them for you!
We're looking forward to seeing you out there!

VOTER PROTECTION WORK
You can sign up now for 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.
We 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.
In Person Roles:
Poll Observers
Join us on Election Day to serve as Poll Observer. In this role, you will be the eyes and ears of the campaign, documenting issues, solving problems, and answering questions as they arise.
Sign up for a training here: Poll Observer Training
Early Vote Monitor
Come help ensure that voters who are voting early in person are able to properly vote!
Sign up for a training here: Early Vote Monitor Training
Canvass Observer
Canvass Observers will ensure that every vote is counted by monitoring the process of counting ballots (often called “canvassing ballots”).
Sign up for a training here: Canvass Observer Training
Remote Roles:
Volunteer Recruitment Phone Banks (Remote Opportunity)
We have virtual phone banks every Monday and Wednesday evening at 6 PM! Come join us in making calls to recruit volunteers to protect the vote.
Sign up here: Volunteer Recruitment Phone Banks
