Help us Get Out The Vote for Western Kane Democrats!
We’re making calls to local Democrats in our townships who requested a mail-in ballot and haven’t sent it in yet.

What do you need to partcipate: Your cellphone and a positive attitude!
You’re welcome to bring a laptop if you have one, otherwise we’ll provide one for you!

What’s the plan?

6:00 – 6:30 PM User Setup and Training
6:30 – 8:00 PM Place calls to voters

Believe it or not, a simple conversation with a prospective voter is a very effective way to get people to go vote.
This critical step is so important to help down ballot candidates win their races. We need to make sure that we keep right wing extremism out of every corner of our local, state, and national government.
