Want to get a leg up on future trivia? You’re in luck! Your phone bank numbers for AYD and VAYD will go into the bank for your trivia team. Show up to any VAYD or AYD phone bank and we’ll make sure your points are counted in the next quiz. What’s more, those points translate into direct action. Each quiz will have cash prizes that the top three teams can send to the bank for a charity, non-profit, or campaign of their choice. So show up to the phone banks and get ready to bank some points and make bank on behalf of democracy!

With so much at stake in this election — and so little time remaining before voting begins — the best way to make a difference is to call Pennsylvania voters and talk to them about supporting Joe Biden and Democrats. Getting started is easy! AYD will have phone banks on the following Tuesdays from 6:30pm – 8:30pm: October 6th, October 13th, and October 20th. Sign up for a shift (or two) and an organizer will reach out to you with all of the details about how we make calls from home.

In 2021, President Biden will need a Senate Majority to get anything on his platform passed. Sara Gideon will be a crucial part of that majority. In the Maine legislature, Sara Gideon has fought to reign in the greed of insurance companies and help those suffering from opioid crisis. She also will not claim to be pro-choice while supporting justices who support ending Roe v. Wade. Let’s help elect a pro-choice Democrat in Maine this year! Join us as we make calls to voters throughout the state.

The race for Virginia’s Fifth Congressional District has remained razor-thin this entire election cycle, and it is crucial for Cameron Webb to win. Dr. Webb is a physician at UVA and a former member of the White House Health Care Team in the Obama Administration. Let’s elect a Doctor to Congress in the middle of the Covid pandemic. Join us on the 7th at 7!

The Virginia Young Democrats will be making calls with Virginia Victory 2020, for Democrats up and down the ballot in Virginia on Saturday, October 3rd from 1pm – 3pm. Please join us to give people information on how to vote safely and make sure that their vote counts!

Keeping up with flipping the Senate, VAYD will be virtually heading to the Grand Canyon State on Tuesday, September 29th at 7pm.

With the importance placed on Arizona this November, we need to reach out and talk to voters about Mark Kelly and Democrats now, even as we practice social distancing. Virtual phone banks have become an essential part of turning Arizona blue, and every phone banker plays a pivotal role.

Sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/missionforaz/event/268317/

You will need a phone (and a laptop or tablet, if you have one). Prior to your phonebanking shift, your local organizer will reach out for a comprehensive training, where we’ll get you set up, walk you through our phone banking process and script, and answer any questions you might have.

Volunteers will help Mission for Arizona unite Democrats across Arizona and build upon our historic success in 2018 to elect Mark Kelly and Democrats up and down the ticket.

RSVP today and invite a friend to join us!

REMINDER: All campaign activity for official VAYD Events count as twice as many points for the VAYD campaign competition.
