After donations and boots on the ground, candidates need people to help turn out the voters on their behalf. This is where we all come in, as we have time and energy.
The DCCC's Red to Blue campaign and the Speaker Pelosi Project are just two of the many mechanisms by which we can help turn the House back to the Democrats. In this action diary, I am offering contact information about Virtual Phone Banking for as many of the DCCC's Red to Blue candidates as I have been able to identify so far. I will update this diary as I receive more information.
But first, here's a review of the information I gleaned about the way to do virtual phone banking for the DCCC candidates in general:
Go to the DCCC volunteer page and complete a short form with your email, first name, and other optional information (last name, city, zip, state, and phone) then choose the checkbox by “Call voters from home.”
A DCCC staffer will make contact via email to explain the process and to register you.
On designated days and times, a remote phone calling system will be set up for people to access from home, anywhere in the country. During those periods, people can get numbers of voters from the DCCC and make calls on behalf of Red to Blue candidates. However, the DCCC field team makes the decisions about which candidate(s) will have calls made on their behalf during a particular session.
After the squiggle, you'll see a list of the DCCC Red to Blue candidates for which I've been able to confirm contact information for people interested in doing virtual phone banking. (Note that the list is in alpha order by state first, and then by congressional district.) The list shows that there is a great variety in procedures--but they'd all be eager for your help. Please check under each candidate’s name and district for detailed information about how to help individual candidates.
