General Announcements
November UNISON Announcements: Due to
Tibby Middleton by October 20 (TODAY)!
Get Out the Vote (GoTV) Campaigns are supported by the 5th UU Principle: "The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large." The All Souls Reeb Project is mobilizing voters in both North Carolina and Virginia. Here are two opportunities to help:
- Phone Bank Calls to voters in North Carolina: If you can only do one thing, please join the Mega Phone Bank happening at All Souls from 10 AM to 2:30 PM on Saturday, October 29. We'll be calling voters in North Carolina in order to increase turnout. Research shows that these calls make a significant impact, because we can help people identify their polling place and make a plan to vote! These are generally very positive calls, because we're helping people get info they want, not trying to change their mind about a political candidate. Plus we'll make it fun with games and food and the chance to get to know other UUs from the area. Morning shift: 10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. or Afternoon: 2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m., or both. Lunch and childcare are provided. Please bring your cell phone and charger. RSVP at https://goo.gl/forms/W7DTAK8McN0oUI2D2. or for a smaller phone bank on October 23, 25, 27, or 28, visit http://www.all-souls.org/voting-rights to sign up. Two shifts are at River Road Unitarian Church in Bethesda.
- In-Person Canvassing in Northern Virginia: If you'd like to get out in the streets, consider doing in-person canvassing with New Virginia Majority. They've already achieved their goal of registering more Virginia voters (> 150,000!) than any other effort in history, and now are focused on turnout. You can join one or more volunteer shifts: 10-1, 1-4, and 4-7) on Saturday. November 5 and Sunday, November 6. There's a fourth shift from 7-10 a.m. on Election Day (November 8) as well. If interested, email mrogers@newvirginiamajority.org and let him know which shift(s).
