Zoom phone banks with the Democratic National Committee
CLICK HERE to phonebank with the DNC to flip the House and hold the Senate
We reach out to swing-state voters and districts about Democratic candidates, voter registration, and vote by mail
Each campaign hosts its own texting event using third-party apps that enable you to text using your computer or tablet — your phone is not used. So when you sign up be sure to follow their prompts and instructions. A lot of campaigns use Zoom to train and Slack to communicate with textbankers
Join our Facebook group to find the latest texting opportunities!

Of course we’ll share WhyHarris-type sites soon as they’re ready!
