UUSS sent out 5500 postcards to Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia to mobilize inactive and disenfranchised voters. 75 Members, along with friends and family. Together. We did this! We’ve had 4 Postcard Writing Gatherings, supporting each other, inspiring each other, and reflecting on the process and products. Thank you for being part of UU The Vote with UUSS! And yet, there is work to be done. Join the Week of Action — October 21-27. Harvest The Power. Together with UUs all over the country.
Join the UU Schenectady’s Phone Banking Event!
TODAY, October 20th from 6PM – 8PM
Join with folks from UUSS as we call BIPOC (black, indigenous and people of color) voters in Florida leading up to the November election. We’ll be ensuring that they have the information they need to vote. If you’ve never tried a phone bank before, don’t worry, you’ll have all the support you need! There has been a change in our plans. UUtheVote informed us that they could not support the event so we will use a phone banking platform from the Center for Common Ground, another non-partisan voter’s rights organization that UUtheVote encouraged us to use. To take part, you need any kind of computer or tablet, and a telephone.
No need to register in advance but please advise John Reschovsky at jreschovsky@nycap.rr.com or 518 810-6235 and then join us at 6PM using the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85040934646 .
