A key tool used by Democrats Abroad to get out the vote is phonebanking. We strive to call our members to remind them to request their ballots and provide any necessary support to help them complete the ballot request process. Democrats Abroad Germany is looking for a volunteer to work with the Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Coordinator to organize our phonebanking efforts. Tasks include:
- Ensure that all members in Germany receive a call from DA Germany about requesting their absentee ballot in 2022
- Schedule and plan phonebanking trainings/parties (Note: You must take Democrats Abroad Callhub phonebanking training if you haven’t done so already. You can find more information here.)
- Recruit phonebanking volunteers and follow-up with interested volunteers
- Serve as the contact person for any questions from phonebanking volunteers
- Provide ongoing motivation
- Help organize call-a-thons (set periods of time when members are more active in phonebanking)
- Open lines of communication among local phonebankers so they can encourage each other
- Attend monthly DA Germany GOTV meetings and other international level meetings related to GOTV and phonebanking coordination
Time commitment: 5-10 hours/week
