October 2020 Chair’s Report

Hello Everyone,

This is IT!  The stakes couldn’t be higher in this election, as I am sure you well know. 
We have only a couple more weeks to make a difference in our destiny so please DO attend Oct 21 LD General Business meeting to hear about ways you can help out.  |
There are GOTV activities and events planned EVERYDAY before we reach Nov 3.  There are many questions about safety and ballot management, a Halloween Phone bank (optional costume on 31st), and the Election Night Gala – you won’t want to miss all the fun. 

Right now, ALL volunteers are needed – LET ME REPEAT –  WE NEED EVERY PERSON FOCUSED on contacting our voters so we hope that you (yes YOU) sign up for AT LEAST ONE phone bank shift, and attend our Wed. Oct 21st  LD meeting, too.  THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
Here is the LINK to sign up for one of the daily events. 

If you have any questions or comments, please email chair@21dems.org or feel free to call or text me anytime.
