Democrats Abroad Berlin is getting out the vote!

Join our phone banking party and help us reach our goal of contacting all of our members for the Global Presidential Primary in Berlin - Democrats Abroad Berlin. Meet your neighbors in Schöneberg and help us reach out to all our members: We want to make sure everyone requests their absentee ballot!

Phone banking is easy and straightforward. All you will need is your computer – **not a tablet**, **not a smartphone** – and headphones, if you have a set. At the beginning of each phone banking party we will have a training session, so newcomers are very welcome!

You can get a head-start (or just call on your own!) by signing up here: https://www.democratsabroad.org/voter_support_team

RSVP Required

The event will be held at a private home, so RSVP below if you are planning on attending the phone banking party on Sunday, February 23rd, 2020, and we will send you the exact address.

You can help out by sharing this event with your American friends and acquaintances in Berlin! As always, we welcome new faces, even if you've never attended a meeting or an event before.

Looking forward to see you there!

Get your monthly update of news: the Iowa and New Hampshire Primaries and Nevada Caucus will have taken place!  Where will the candidates stand? Impeachment trials will have come and gone (won't they?).  What will the impact be on the election? Jean Pierre LaRochelle will lead the discussion and you can share your points of view.  Good food too if you're so inclined.  (Next Political forum will be on March 23, save the date now)

Have you signed up to volunteer at Global Presidential Primary in Berlin on March 3rd or March 8th, 2020?

Thank you for taking part in making the voting center possible in Berlin! To volunteer on one of these days, we ask that you also attend this volunteer training session to learn more about what the Global Primary is about and what to expect as a volunteer.

We hope the primary will be a big event, so we want to answer as many questions in advance and provide clarification about what your role will be, whether you're helping out as a greeter, check-in, voter registration, ballot observer, ballot counter, or other kind volunteer.

If you haven't yet signed up to volunteer, you can sign up for shifts here:

• Tue. March 3: https://volunteersignup.org/4LPMR
• Sun. March 8: https://volunteersignup.org/FP4X9

Please RSVP so we can make sure to accommodate everyone who wants to attend the training.
