Thank you for being part of our phonebanking team —
and delivering democracy from abroad
Democrats Abroad uses CallHub, a free-for-you online system that lets you call from a computer or tablet—all you need is internet access and a speaker with a microphone. Log in and you will see a script and the voter information so you know who you're talking to. Simply follow the script and then fill in the survey answers: no other record-keeping needed.
If you haven't called with us before, please sign in here, and then start here: Phonebanking Training.
PHONEBANKING CAMPAIGNS:
1. Wisconsin Voter Rolls - Supreme Court General Election - February 27 to March 15, 2023
Script and Calling Instructions
Who we're calling: Non-DA members who vote in Wisconsin
Why: This is a pivotal election! The WI Supreme Court is currently a 4-3 conservative majority. If we win this seat, we will flip it to a 4-3 liberal majority.
We are contacting non-DA members who are on Wisconsin public voter rolls as likely overseas voters to ensure they are aware of this off-year special election and also let them know we can help them navigate Wisconsin's burdensome rules for overseas voting in state elections.
Slack Channels for Phonebankers:
We’ve set up two channels on the Democrats Abroad Slack workspace specifically for phonebanking volunteers:
-
PB Updates & Questions: We’ll use this channel to post new information, you can check it for updates. You can also ask questions and we’ll get back to you right away.
- PB Chat: A spot for you to swap ideas and stories with other phonebankers. Just be sure to follow confidentiality guidelines and NEVER provide identifying information for any DA members.
If you’d like to join these new channels, please email [email protected]
