It’s Time to Get Out the Vote!

I know what you’re expecting: “the volunteers need coffee and pencils and bus tickets–please donate!”

Well, not today. Today, you can help Council-endorsed Senate candidates in a bigger way: stand alongside their volunteers to make phone calls, talk to neighbors, and get eligible voters to the polls before November 4th.

It’s easy. Select a campaign from the list below. You can volunteer even if you don’t live within the candidate’s state.Be sure to clearly indicate to the coordinator the following information:
–The dates/times you’re available to volunteer
–Whether you are in state or out of the candidate’s state

If you are contacting a coordinator by email, please use the subject line: GOTV Volunteer and let them know that Council for a Livable World sent you!
