Organizing Your Own Phone and Text Banking
Phone and text banking can be an effective way to reach and communicate with many voters. Also, this can be a project that expands your branch! As you work to form your banking team, you’ll want to seek to involve members of your branch, other committed volunteers, or any other local WILPF program participants.
Rather than developing phone banking that is entirely your own, your team might find it easier and more effective to work with one of the organizations listed in the VRR which are seeking to Get Out The Vote (frequently referred to as GOTV). (See the Organizations for Postcard/Letter Writing and Phoning/Texting for Get Out The Vote Campaigns section.)
To get started on your phone or text banking, please read over the informative pages of helpful overview and instructions from Nonprofit VOTE, available here. Nonprofit VOTE also provides other resources that may be useful for you here.
If you have questions, you can reach out to WILPF at FreedomToVote@wilpfUS.org. (Keep in mind that it may take 3-4 days for a response.)
