As a reminder, we are going out again tomorrow after work, check out the event details here.

If you can make one of our events, it helps us to sign up so we have an estimate of people. It takes time and effort to create the walk packets, and we want to make sure we have something for every volunteer to do. We’re putting all of our events on this Google form. Sign up to canvass/postcard, phone bank, and for our team meetings.
