GOTV Open Thread & Happenings October 17 – Big Weekend Coming [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

These posts are for sharing experiences as we volunteer to get out the vote. Learn what others are seeing on the ground or hearing on the phone as they canvas, phone bank, talk to neighbors, argue with that one uncle who for once got a little quiet when he saw that Dave Bautista video, etc.

What’s happening in your neck of the woods? If you have any good links, I’ll add them to the diary.

News

The user jiff65 checks in from Charlotte, North Carolina and reports a lot of volunteer activity:

Reporting in from Charlotte!

AmericaLover continues putting in the work in PA — calling, door-knocking, poll-watching:

Poll Watching and Phone Calls and Post Cards, Oh My!

I’m hoping this great diary by GoodNewsRoundup makes the rounds so I’m linking it to it

Easy Ways to Act! Something for everyone! Please share!!



GoodNewsRoundup’s story has great advice and I’ve heard similar from volunteer captains. If you’re not sure about phone-banking or door-knocking, there are still roles you can fill — driving voters, supporting volunteer staff, postcard-writing, and more.



I mention this in every one of these but I hope that sharing these links and anecdotes encourages people to get involved. I know it might be a little intimidating but give it a try. You’ll enjoy it!

I had a decent phone-banking session last night. Fairly positive response and at least one new person who’ll be volunteering after being asked.

This weekend is going to be HUGE. Kamala and Tim are in the upper Midwest and campaign surrogates are everywhere. If you are near a swing state, hop over that border! The weather this weekend looks good in many places. People will be out and about. This is a perfect time to get the message out and get votes banked.
