Three ways to get involved if you don’t live in Minnesota

Chelsea Moore, Volunteer Coordinator

As the Volunteer Coordinator, I field a lot of questions, mostly concerning how people can get involved in the effort to re-elect Al. More often than not, these people will be directed to a field organizer on the ground who can plug them in to future organizing events: canvasses, phone banks or team meetings.

But sometimes, these people don’t live in Minnesota or physically can’t get to an event. That’s why I’m working with the Field team to make sure that anyone can get involved in this campaign, no matter the obstacles.

1. Take a volunteer vacation: Whether it’s 4 days or 4 weeks, you can come join us in Minnesota to Get Out The Vote for Al! When you arrive, you will receive a full orientation with an organizer and be assigned to a team that will best utilize your strengths as a volunteer. Sure, it’s not vacation on a white sandy beach — but it’s a critical role you will fill and an experience you’ll never forget.”

2. Join the Remote Calling Program: Can’t get to Minnesota? No problem. You can still make phone calls to voters in Minnesota for Al! The Virtual Phone Bank makes it easy to log in and start calling. Click here to signup.

3. Donate! Strapped for time, but still want to do something? You can pitch in $5 right now. If it wasn’t clear: we have to mobilize thousands of volunteers to reach Minnesota voters. We have to keep ads on the air to fight the super PAC attacks. We have to get out voters on Election Day. That’s why every dollar counts, and you can bet we’ll use it well.

Got a different idea for how you can help? While I’d like to think the three aforementioned ways to pitch in are the most effective – I’m all ears. Drop me a line here.
