Phone Banking for Democratic Candidates

Talking directly with voters has been shown to be the most effective method of motivating them to take action.

We coordinate with each campaign to ensure that your volunteer hours will have the greatest impact. The first rounds of calls increase candidate name recognition, identify supporters, recruit local volunteers, offer lawn signs, and seek to persuade undecided voters. Critically, these initial calls remove bad numbers and non-supporters from the list, so that subsequent get-out-the-vote phone banks and canvassing will target only the most likely Democratic voters. Equally important, the people we reach motivate their families and friends to vote.

Phone banks are held at designated times, using an online virtual phone bank. All you need is a laptop or tablet and a phone. We provide training, a phone script, candidate information, and a friendly group that uses the chat function in Zoom to offer support and answer questions as they arise. If you’re new to phone banking (or even if you’re not), the host will help you with everything from technical issues to messaging.
