Dialing for Democracy 2026

Dialing for Democracy 2026
Friday, October 2 – Sunday, October 4
8am – 8pm CET

Together we can do anything. Right now we have thousands of calls to make to members like you. Dialing for Democracy is a call-a-thon in which our outstanding phone bankers around the world will make as many calls as they can from Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 4. Callers can join from any country, at whatever time is convenient for them!

To win in November, we need to increase voter participation across the US and from abroad — which means making sure overseas voters know they can vote in this election, and that they request, receive, and return their ballots to the United States on time.

Given the Trump Administration's relentless attacks on the fundamental pillar of our democracy — voting — we can't take any risks this year when it comes to our ballots.

The goal of Dialing for Democracy is to reach every Democrats Abroad member, confirm they've requested and received their ballot, help anyone who still needs to request one before looming deadlines (or whose ballot hasn't arrived), and make sure voters know how to promptly return their ballots to their voting jurisdiction.

We'll have refresher trainings during the sessions, special guest speakers, guided stretch breaks, breakout rooms, prizes, and more.
