We need your help to get out the vote! Please find volunteer opportunities to get involved this fall below. There is an opportunity for everyone! Please contact us at [email protected] if any of these opportunities appeal to you or if you have questions. Thanks!

Study Abroad Student Outreach

We need help doing outreach (presentations at orientation and visits to campuses) to students studying abroad in Madrid this semester. Please contact us ASAP if you are interested and we will connect you with Rock the Vote superstar volunteer Jim who is coordinating these crucial efforts.

Phonebanking

In 2020, DA made over 600,000 calls. Trainings happen frequently and information can be found here: https://www.democratsabroad.org/phonebanking_training 

There is also the option to watch a pre-recorded training. Log-in to your DA account to access information and register. Once you've completed the training you'll take a short quiz and get set-up with an account on CallHub (the online platform used to make the calls). Calling campaigns are already underway and we need all hands on deck!

Voter Assistance

We want to host weekly drop-in voter assistance (registration + ballot return) events in Madrid up until the election but need help organizing and staffing them with volunteers who are trained in voter assistance.

Voter Registration & Ballot Request, Receipt & Return training sessions are available live and recorded: https://www.democratsabroad.org/voter_assistance_training 

Learn how to help your friends, family, and other overseas voters register to vote and request their ballots as overseas voters. There are special advantages that apply only to overseas voters -- but specific rules apply. Learn how to use our website, www.VoteFromAbroad.org, and other voter resources to help make registering to vote, getting an overseas ballot and returning their ballots easy, simple, and quick!

Social Media

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook - we need help! Can be creating content, coordination, etc.

GOTV/New Member Outreach

Organizing hanging up posters, tabling, etc.

Event Organization

Organizing events to attract new members and engage our current members. This can take lots of different forms! Coffee gatherings, documentary screening, etc. Also helping us identify event spaces. We'll help support you, but we really need volunteers to take the lead on some events!

We specifically need help organizing:

• Voter registration + assistance events
• Talks/presentations on topics of interest to our members
• Events to engage with different groups within our membership (young people, families, etc.)
• Election results watching event on November 5th
• Thanksgiving + DA Madrid 20th anniversary celebration on November 21st
