First round of Phone banks Set up to Update Voter Registration Address
We have an election coming up on July 14th for the Primary Runoff but our long term goal is November of 2020. That is why I have partnered up with ConnectTexas and the Texas Democratic Party to set up phonebanks that target voters in Senate District. The first couple of phonebanks that have been set up as part of a series of phonebanks will focus on Round 1 - Updating Voter Registration Addresses.
These are the current phonebanks that ConnectTexas is working on with us. We will be contacting Democratic voters and ensuring they have updated their voter registration. Many of these are intrastate or intracounty moves into or out of Senate District 9. If we speak to a live voter on the phone, we are verifying their partisan lean and then referring them to head to registertexas.com to update their voter registration.
RegisterTexas.com is the official site of the Texas Democratic Party that will take a voter’s information and then send them an updated and pre-filled voter registration form in the mail. Then the voter can mail the form back in a postage paid envelope.
I did a few phonebanks with ConnectTexas by signing up for events at mobilize.us/tdporganizing throughout North Texas and DFW. I am also glad to be working with Amanda Harris and Yasmeen Kaboud from the Texas Democratic Party to make this happen.
Official Dates of the first phonebanks are:
June 20th at 10 AM and June 24th at 6 PM - You can sign up for those phonebanks here! Amanda Harris will be leading those phonebanks for us and I will also be on the phone with y’all.
