have a couple free hours this Saturday? let me know if you want to join myself and @ShowUp4RJ members in calling voters in Georgia. our goal is to help them make a *plan* to vote―not convincing them *who* to vote for.

1.5 million people have voted in Georgia already―that’s 150% more than 2016! Biden has taken a slight lead in the state, putting Georgia within reach to flip (which is huge). that's why phone calls are so important. the more calls I've made, the less nerve-wracking it's been.

if you're feeling hopeless or anxious about the election (who isn't?), I strongly encourage you to give phone banking a shot! you have nothing to lose but a couple hours. and hey, at least we can look back on this election and know we helped tons of people vote.

I felt so shitty after the 2016 election not just because of the outcome, but because I felt like I had no control over it. phone banking has made me feel in control of this November's outcome. we can change this election, but we have to be willing to sacrifice our time to help.

You’re way braver than I am! I’d be so sad to get hung up on. What keeps you going?

it was weird being hung up on when it first happened, I took it personally
I wrote some encouraging words on sticky notes and placed them around my desk so I could glance at them when things got rough. one of them says “don’t take it personally!” and “don’t let Trump win”1 odpowiedź 0 podanych dalej 1 polubiony -

and the good thing is—you can take breaks. you have full control over how many calls you take and when. so if you need to take a breather and get some water, you can! I took a few breaks just for deep breaths.

the good conversations make up for the uncomfortable ones. today I spoke to someone really cool for over 10 minutes and we’re going to connect online. the nice people make it easier :) (today my job was to confirm volunteers for future sessions, so it was all positive)

That’s encouraging for sure! Thank you for the insight!
