Join our phonebanking team — and flip crucial elections!!
Our global phonebanking calls go to Americans abroad voting in tight races this year. These are races that could mean the difference between taking back the Senate and winning the House! Get involved today and help make sure Americans abroad know they can vote and how to get started.
DA uses a free-for-you online system that lets you call from a computer--all you need is internet access, a Chrome browser and a speaker with a mic.
Once you're logged in you'll see a script and voter information so you know who you're talking to. All you need to do is follow the script and then click answers to the survey at the end - no other record-keeping needed.
