North Carolina UU the Vote Phone Bank 19/08/2020

Join UUCC-sponsored Voter Phone Bank on Thursday August 20 at 6PM!

UUCC The Vote has volunteered to be this week’s “sponsor” for Thursday’s phone banking to call voters of color in North Carolina to encourage voting and offer information about participating in the 2020 General Election.

Every week from now until the election, the UU Justice Ministry of North Carolina will be hosting a phone bank in partnership with Reclaim Our Vote and the North Carolina NAACP. Phone banks will occur every Thursday from 6:00 - 8:00pm ET
on Zoom. The zoom link is: https://zoom.us/j/94820048199
By sponsoring, we are encouraging UUCC members to choose this week as “our week” to participate. If you can join us, please register here. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaFzROXP36NdYCEIJuVMUEwADBjCxxdCIVTU-CEXxFs6hXtA/viewform?gxids=7628

Lisa, the UU organizer put together an excellent (and very detailed) “How To Guide” here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/149iwbck1GV7EdXCDFFjuOqxrzw5t1zxtyRFr4JuX6A4/edit

We recommend doing STEP ONE of the Guide in advance – choose the tool you want and get you Action ID. The remaining steps are details which will be explained at the beginning of the Phone Bank.

Vote Forward 08/08/2020

We have teamed with Vote Forward to write letters to registered voters that will be delivered in late October to remind and encourage them to vote (GOTV). You can download and prepare the letters now, and hold them until October to be mailed. The letter writing campaigns are focused on traditionally underrepresented registered voters in the states that will be most critical in the election. Contact Ken Rock at [email protected], or get instructions from https://votefwd.org/. There are still lots of addresses to send letters to and filing out a letter just takes a few minutes!

Vote Forward Vote Forward volunteers send heartfelt handwritten letters to unregistered and low-propensity voters encouraging them to participate in our democracy. The letters have been shown to significantly boost voter turnout.
